 f. 2 [3] ro a— lacob mac loseb gabar na oileamain. 



A long account of the birth and upbringing of the Virgin, of the 

 Annunciation, and so forth to the birth of Christ, ending with an 

 account of the birth of Christ as told by the Virgin to Simeon. Ends- 

 Et creidim uile gach ni adeiid bar Simeon. 



f. G [7] a— Pais Sansalmus ata annso. 



A holy man called Sansalmus- prays to the Virgin to relate to 

 him the Passion of her Son : at last she appears to him and tells him 

 she cannot do so because she is not allowed to weep. However 

 Sansalmus gets the story from her by question and answer- the 

 betrayal by Judas (6 V b), the trial (7 r b), the robe and crown of 

 thorns (8 a). Here is added a commentary which indicates the 

 French origin of the piece: Et ata in ooroin seo ag riyh Frango n 

 nz do crann .fme he acU do Mnihh mara fhasm ar dumhchaih gainimi 

 hs Immh re mmr p ataitt rmna 7 paingc gora ecu is geiri m spine 

 And this crown IS m possession of the King of the Franks, and it is 

 not made of a thom-tree, but of sea-reeds [sea-holly?] that "row 

 on the sandhills by the sea-side, that have spikes (leg. and 

 sharp points, sharper than thorns.' Then follows the descent into 

 hell (9 r a) the bui-ial (9 b), and the punishment that overtook 

 the Jews. Ends —
