convent of his order in Louvain, in which Colgan had lived 
and died; and whence, as we have seen, the Irish MSS. in 
the Burgundian Library, and much of those at St. Isidore’s, 
were brought. The priest in question deposited these printed 
books in the convent of his order in Wexford, where I exa- 
mined them hurriedly about the year 1846. I did not find 
any MSS. in the library, but it is possible that there may be 
some in their archive chests, which I had not an opportunity 
of examining.
