Argues that Rawl. B 514 can’t have been the copy prepared specially for Maghnus Ó Domhnaill, and suggests that the scribe of Franciscan A 19 may have had access to a now lost copy of the Liber hymnorum.
Argues that the copy present in Louvain in the first half of the 17th c. (mentioned in the catalogue of Colgan’s MSS) contained the same version as that transmitted in 17th and 18th c. paper copies, and shows, through an analysis of the morphology of the language of these later texts, that it may derive from a 12th. c. version different to that in LL.
