ANNALS OF CLONMACNOISE

The 'Annals of Clonmacnoise' chronicle events in Ireland from pre-history to A.D. 1408. The original manuscript or manuscripts are lost, and the names of its compilers are unknown. It is so-called because it was thought to be based on materials gathered at the monastery of Clonmacnoise, though there is some doubt about this. The surviving manuscript is a translation into English written in the year 1627 by Connall MacGeoghegan of Lismoyny, near Clara, Co. Offaly, so that scholars now refer to this as 'Mageoghagan’s Book', cf. Murphy ''Annals of Clonmacnoise'' (Dublin 1896).
