 iixoris eius ethne de semine amhlaygh." 



This is St. Maidoe or Mogue, of Ferns, whose day is the 31st 

 of January. Colgan has printed a similar life in his Acta Sanctor- 

 um, p. 208. There is a foot-note in Irish at fol. 51 b, in a good 

 •coeval Irish hand, beginning, — tTl^o'605 .i.tno ^co 65, and followed 

 by his pedigree. 



5. Yita S. Brendani, abbatis et confessoris, fols. 56 ba to 64 bb. 



" Natus est beatissimus brendanus abbas in zepharia mumenensi plaga in 

 regione qui dicitur kyarragbi. . . . cujus pater findluag nomine 

 erat fideHs." 



His pedigree is at the foot, in the same Irish hand as in the last, 

 and throughout the genealogical foot-notes of the book. The Navigium 

 begins on fol. 57 ba. This is St. Brendan, founder and patron saint 

 of Clonfert, whose day is the 16th of May. 



6. Vita S. Coemhgeni, episcopi et confessoris, fols. 64 b b to 

 70 ba. 



" Vir erat in provincbia laginensium que est quinta pars bybernie in plebe viz. 

 dal macbscorb. .... cuius nomen dicebatur coemlogba." 



At the foot is his pedigree. This is St. Kevin of Grlendalough, 

 whose day is the 3rd of June. 



7. Vita S. Molyng, episcopi et confessoris, fols. 70 ba to 74 a a. 



" De australi laginensium plaga que dicitur kennselacb. .... 

 natus est vir vite venerabilis nomine molyng, pater oilain* dicebatur." 



His pedigree is at the bottom of the page. This is St. Moling of 

 Timolin, whose day is the 17th of June. 



8. Vita S. Fintani, abbatis et confessoris, fols. 74 aa to 76 ba. 



" Sanctus abbas fintanus vir vite venerabilis de provincbia laginensium ori- 

 undus fuit pater eius vocabatur crymbtbann mater vero findnat." 



Colgan has printed,! u ' om the (veritable) Codex Kilkenniensis, a life 

 similar to this, but it gives Gabhrenus as the father's name, \ and this 

 one variation is sufficient to prove that our manuscript was not 

 Colgan' s exemplar. 



9. Vita S. Senani, episcopi et confessoris, fols. 76 b a to 80 a b. 



"Natus ex nobilibus | procreatur parentibus | et ab ipsis cunabulis | fidelibus 

 cbristicolis | qui magni dei gratia | babebantur in scotbia | Quorum bee sunt voea- 

 bula I bercanus et coemgella."
