(5.) S. Fatricii . . . Synodi, Ganones^ Opuscula, &c., scholiis illustrata a J. L. 

 Villanueva. Dublinii, 1835. Villanueva prints the Bollandist text with 

 variants from Ware. 



(6.) Councils and Ecclesiastical Documents relating to Great Britain and Ireland : 

 Edited ... by A. W. Haddan, B.D., and W. Stubbs, M.A., Oxford, 1878. 

 Vol. ii., Part ii., p. 296. 



This portion of the work was undertaken by Mr. A. Haddan ; but he died 

 five years before its publication. The plan adopted is to print A, where 

 available, without any correction of its blunders, and elsewhere the 

 Bollandist text. An elaborate collation is given of CF3F4, and of the 

 Bollandist text. The extraordinary number and nature of the positive mis- 

 statements in this apparatus criticus can only be explained by the supposition 

 that Mr. Haddan' s notes were misunderstood by the person who saw them 

 through the press. 



(7.) The Tripartite Life of Patrick, with other documents relating to that Saint, 

 edited by Whitley Stokes, d.c.l., &c. London, 1887, part ii., p. 367. 

 Dr. W. Stokes prints A with corrections from C ; and where A is not available, 

 he prints C with interpolations and variations from the Bollandist text. 



To the above seven editions of the Latin text must be added a Paper by 

 Sir Samuel Ferguson, On the Patrician Documents, printed in vol. xxvii., 

 Pol. Lit. and Antiqq., Trans. Roydl Irish Academy, 1885. This paper 

 includes an admirable translation in blank verse of the Confessio and Epistola 

 from the copies of A and F3, of the Confessio, printed in the Appendix to 

 Part II. of the Facsimiles of National MSS. of Ireland, and from the 

 Bollandist text of the Epistola. 



The Life of St. Patrick by Muirchu maccu-Mactheni is contained 

 partly in the Book of Armagh (cited here as Muirchu A) and partly in a ms. 

 in the Royal Library of Brussels which was published in 1882 by the Rev. 

 E. Hogan, s.j., in Analecta BoUandiana, Tom. i., p. 531. The portion of 

 the Life which is only found in the Brussels ms. is cited here as Muirchu B. 



The Memoranda of Tirech&n are quoted from the Book of Armagh, 

 fol. 9 r° sqq.
