Preface. 



The records of the medieval Church of Ireland are scanty. The Diocese of 

 Dublin, richer in this respect than others, possesses only the following : — The 

 ancient volume known as Crede MiJii, which was edited by the late Sir J. T. 

 Gilbert ; the Eegister of Archbishop Alan and his Bepertorium Viridc or Nova 

 Botula, both of which are well deserving of similar treatment ; the valuable 

 collection of Christ Church Deeds, now in the Public Eecord Office, a 

 calendar of which appeared in the Eeports of the Deputy Keeper of the 

 Eecords; the Chartularies of St. Mary's Abbey, St. Thomas's Abbey, and the 

 Priory of All Hallows, all of which have been edited by competent hands ; ' 

 the Eegister of St. Patrick's Cathedral, called Dignitas Decani, a calendar of 

 which has been published . in the Proceedings of the Academy ; the Book of 

 Obits and Martyrology of Christ Church, edited by Dr. J. H. Todd ; and the 



1 The Register of the Abbey of St. Thomas, Dublin, ed. J. T. Gilbert, 1889 (Rolls series) ; 

 Registrum Prioratus Omnium Sanctorum juxta Dublin, ed. R. Butler, 1845 (Irish Archseologital 

 Society). For the Chartularj' of St. Mary's, see below p. 5.
