Fol. 5 b. An Irish poem on the Wise Men of the East 
who were led by the star to Bethlehem, consisting of eleven 
quatrains. Notwithstanding the assistance of Toland, who 
professed to be well versed in the Irish language, Wanley has 
so far erred in his estimate of this composition that he styles 
it “ Glossariolum quoddam Hebraice, Latine, et Hybernice ;” 
and Mr. Westwood, in his Paleographia Sacra, repeats the 
statement. The poem is as follows, and the accompany- 
ing translation is from the accurate pen of Mr. Eugene 
Curry.
