The testimonials, in the Latin language, of Thomas Flem- 
ing, Archbishop of Dublin and «Primate of Ireland,” dated 
from Kildare, February 1, 1636, and from Father Roche of 
Kildare, dated from his convent, 8th January, 1637,* next fol- 
low, and then the Martyrology, first arranged according to 
the calendar, and then alphabetically. This MS. is in the 
Irish language, and can be read without any difficulty: it 
contains about 250 pages. 
Vol. XV. (5057, 5058, 5059). Thisis a thin quarto, rudely 
stitched together, and in bad condition. It contains, first, a 
fragment of a catalogue of saints, then some poems by 
** Eogan mae an Bhaird,” and by ‘ Moel Patric,” &e. &e., 
and ends with a fragment in prose, commencing ‘ Gloriosus 
Episcopus Carthagus qui yulgo vocatur Mochuoa.” The con- 
tents are all in the Irish language, and I was unable to disco- 
ver the name of the scribe or date of the compilation ; how- 
ever, I believe it belonged to the Louvain collection, and is 
justly attributed in the catalogue to the seventeenth cen- 
tury. 
Vol. X VI. (5095, 5096) is a small, quarto volume, bound 
in vellum, in the Irish character and language; and is another 
copyt of the‘ Martyrologium Dungalense” of Michael O’Clery. 
It contains a preface by the author, in which he states that the 
_ work was finished at Donegal, 19th April, 1630, and then a 
short paragraph, signed Flan Mac Aodhagan as above. 
Upon the following page this paragraph again occurs, signed 
“Connep M:Spavp,” Then follow the approbations, in Latin, 
* Flann Mac Aodhagan, whose autograph is here given, was a famous 
antiquary, from the village of Bally Mac Aodhagan, in the county of Tippe- 
rary. It may be remarked that the individuals whose names are here given 
are the same who have given approbation to the Annals of the Four Masters - 
__ as may be seen in the autograph copy belonging to Trinity College Library. 
_ Rerum Hib. Scriptores, vol. iii. p. xv. The same observation applies to the 
other copy of this Martyrology. Sce vol. xvi. in this Catalogue.
