Incoming data

The catalogue entry for this text has not been published as yet. Until then, a selection of data is made available below.

Prose tract on the property and entitlements of Mac Diarmada. In the two extant manuscripts, it is directly followed by a poem (22 qq) on the same subject, attributed to Aodh Ollbharr Ó Carrthaigh and beg. A-tá sonn sochar na ríogh, which is also independently attested. The relationship between prose and verse text requires closer study.
