Argues that Vita II Brigitae of Cogitosus (otherwise known as Toimtenach) derived directly from Vita I, and that both ultimately depended on the Latin original underlying Bethu Brigte.
Argues that srádbhaile mentioned in Mac Carthaigh’s Book, s.a. 1210 (Misc. Ir. Ann. 88-89), is the common noun, not a reference to Sráidbhaile Dúna Dealgan (= Dundalk).
Edited from Rawlinson B 512 with variant readings from Brussels 2324-40. Includes an identification of most of the guarantors. Concludes that list was drawn up in 697, but that many of the titles were added later on.
ad Onom. Goed. 388, 580. Argues that na Renna (gen. pl. na Rend, inna Renn) mentioned in the Annals of Inisfallen and the Chronicle of Marianus Scotus is to be identified as the Rhinns of Galloway; Dún Reichet (= Dunraigit) is identified as belonging to this area.
Edition and translation of a note on an intercalated slip in Würzburg MS M. p. th. f. 61 (incomplete in Thes ii 285). The computus which Mo-Sinnu (ob. 610) ‘learned by heart from a certain learned Greek’, and which Mo-Chuoróc maccu Neth Sémon wrote down, was a computus digitorum (a treatise on finger-reckoning), or Graecorum computus, not a method for reckoning time (viz. the Dionysiac cycle).
Analyses the terminology and character of grants, tribute, taxes, service, rent and divisions of farmland mentioned in early Irish hagiography. Relations between churches and clients, and agreements between churches, are also discussed.
