The original of the above charter is not extant ; but we have a transcript 

 (see p. ■19) of seven charters relating to the union of Killenny with Duiske, of which 

 this is one. It is a Confirmation of no. 80, the abbot of Stanley having acted as 

 the abbot of Clairvaux's deputy, as we know from no. 27. 



It is dated 1229 ' die beati Sigirani abbatis,' i.e. 4 December. 



For Balph de Pinis, abbot of Glairvaux, see Gallia Christiana, iv, 805.
