JHE BOOK OF LEINSTER, sometime called The Book of ‘‘ GLENDALOUGH” : 
a collection of pieces in the Irish Language, compiled in part about the mid- 
dle of the twelfth century. From the original MS. in Trinity College, Dublin, with 
introduction, analysis of contents, and index, by Roperr Atkinson, M.A., LL.D., 
Professor of Sanskrit and Comparative Grammar in the University of Dublin, Secre- 
tary of Council, Royal Irish Academy. 
This MS. forms the third in the series of the great Irish MSS. published by the 
Royal Irish Academy. 
The Book of Leinster is one of the most important of the fragments of Irish 
literature that have come down to us. In addition to copies of the native prose his- 
toric accounts of the Tain Bé Cualnge, the Bérama, &c., it contains a large fragment 
of an early prose translation of the Historia de Excidio Troiae of Dares Phrygius ; 
a great number of the poems and prose introductions of the Dindsenchas or legendary 
aecount of the origin of the names of places in Ireland; very many historic poems, 
in which the legendary and traditional accounts of the early history of the country 
are preserved; Irish genealogies and hagiologies ; and a great number of interesting 
stories, illustrative of the manners and customs, the modes of thought, and the 
state of culture, &c., of the people of Ireland just about the period of the Anglo- 
Norman Invasion.
