A collection of charter-like records in Latin and Old Irish relating the activities of St Patrick in Ireland and the lands that were granted to him and his church. The collection can be divided into three parts: (1) a text about the foundation of Trim (Co. Meath), including an account of the conversion of Feidlimid son of Lóegaire mac Néill, king of Leinster; (2) a group of six records concerning churches in northern Connacht; and (3) a group of four records concerning churches in Leinster.
Short Irish note which mentions Corcrán búachaill (lit. ‘herdsman’, also ‘guardian’ or ‘servant’) and Máel Suthain. As it stands in the manuscript, where it follows a monastic poem uttered by a hermit, beg. M'óenurán im aireclán, it consists of no more than a single line in prose and a retoiric. Cf. perhaps the anchorite Corcrán Clérech (d. 1040) and Máel Suthain Úa Cerbaill (d. 1010) or his namesake and scholar (d. 1031).
