CHRONICON SCOTORUM
'Chronicon Scotorum' is an Irish chronicle.
According to Nollaig O Muraile, it is '"a collection of annals belonging to the 'Clonmacnoise group', covering the period from prehistoric times to 1150 but with some gaps, closely related to the 'Annals of Tigernach'. It survives in a paper copy made by Dubhaltach MacFhirbhisigh c.1640 from an exemplar no longer extant."''
MacFhirbhisigh's copy was held by his friend (and possible pupil) Roderick O Flaherty in the late 1600s, but was in France for a time in the 1760s before its purchase by Trinity College Dublin in 1776. Edited and published by William M. Hennessy in 1866, it is accorded to be one of the more valuable Irish annals by virture of its computistical data which were frequently distorted in other such compilations.
