I, A book written by William Mac an Legha, some sheets 
of which are misplaced by the binder. The book, however, 
when this error is corrected, will be found to be quite perfect, 
and contains ten tracts, viz. : 
1. The History of the Children of Israel. A note at the 
end tells us, that this work was transcribed in the year 1473, 
in the space of two summer days ; and that it was written by 
William Mac an Legha, at Cluan Lorg, in the house of Cor- 
mac O’Betnachan. 
2. The History of King Solomon. 
3. A Tract against defiling or profaning Churches. 
4. A Legend of Hell and its Torments, entitled Genga bie 
nua, ** The Eternal new Tongue.” 
5. A Legend describing the Condition of Enoch and Elias 
in Heaven, entitled, Oa bpon placa nme, * The two sorrowful 
ones of the Kingdom of Heaven.” 
6. A Legend of a holy Monk and a Woman who went to 
him for Confession. 
7. A Legend of two Children, one Jewish, the other Chris- 
tian. 
8. A Legend of an Eastern Woman and her Child. 
9. A Legend of St. Brendan. 
10. The Reasons for making Friday a Day of Fasting, 
II. The second book bound up in the volume is stated to 
have been written by Flathri (who calls himself m cpuag, ‘* the 
wretch, or miserable”) for Donogh, son of Brien Mac Conor 
O’Brien, who must have been the same as Brien Duff, son 
of Brien O’Brien of the battle of Nenagh, who was the first 
of that branch of the O’Brien family who settled in the Castle 
of Carrig O’Gonnell, County Limerick, about 1449; and, 
therefore, it follows that this portion of the MS. must have 
been transcribed after that year. The Book of Flathri con- 
tains the following tracts : 
1. Charta humani Generis, seu Speculum Peccatoris. 
2. A Tract entitled Spud snada Oe, “Stimulus amoris Dei.” 
3. A Tract on Alms.
