Description
  • A 15th-century miscellany of prose and verse texts in Irish and Latin, assembled mostly in 1453 and 1454 in Carrick, Pottlerath and elsewhere for Edmund Butler (d. 1464). The two main scribes copied out earlier materials including genealogies and legends, partly from the Saltair of Cashel (now lost), and also incorporated (fols. 59r-72r, 123r-146v) 'The Book of the White Earl', which had been made with finely decorated initials between 1410 and 1452 for Edmund's uncle James Butler, 4th earl of Ormond (d. 1452). Another fragment of the MS. is in Dublin, Trinity College, MS. E. 4. 1.
