19ú haois. 7.5" X 4.6". 60 + 213 lch, le lgh bhána cheangail i dtosach agus ag deireadh agus le lgh bhána idir dhá chuid an leabhair, agus arís dhá lch bhána idir lgh 57 agus 58. Níl ainm scríbhneora ná log luaite, ach is léir on bpeannaireacht (agus ón ábhar) gurb é Tomás Ó hIcí a d’aistrigh ón mBéarla agus a scríobh, i bPort Láirge, agus tá an dáta: ‘Márta 31, 1846’ ag 84i. (Cf. CE 7(a), atá beagán difiriúil). An Is seo ceangailte go slachtmhar teann faoi leathar donn. Stampa: ‘Arch. Prov. Hib. S.J.’ ar lch ceangail chun tosaigh.

'Clár Lámhscríbhinní Gaeilge Leabharlanna na Cléire agus Mionchnuasaigh Fascúl II'

Copy of 'Clár Lámhscríbhinní Gaeilge Leabharlanna na Cléire agus Mionchnuasaigh, Fascúl II' (Baile Átha Cliath: Institiúid Ard-Léinn Bhaile Átha Cliath) by an tAthair Ó Fiannachta, containing a section describing manuscripts IL 1 – IL 9, entitled ‘Lámhscríbhinní na nÍosánach, Sráid Líosan, Baile Átha Cliath’ (pp.70 – 94).

Tá 9 lámhscríbhinn Ghaeilge i gcartlann na nÍosánach in 35 Sr. Líosan, íochtarach, Baile Átha Cliath. Ní fios go cruinn conas a tharla ansin iad. Bhí IL 6 agus 7 i seilbh an Athar Eoin Mac Fhir Léinn, S.J., de réir dealraimh. Bhí IL 5 i seilbh an Athar Éamann Ó hÓgáin, S J. Tá stampa ar IL 2 agus 9 a chuireann in iúl go rabhadar araon tamall i Meiriceá. Deir an tAthair Aubrey Gwynn, S.J., go bhfuair sé féin IL 1 sa Leabharlann sa teach agus gur thaispeáin sé don Athair Mac Fhir Léinn í agus gur fhéach seisean chuige gur cheangail Colm Ó Lochlainn í i gComhartha na dTrí gCoinneal. Ceanglaíodh IL 8 ansiúd leis. Bhí sí seo tráth i seilbh Sheáin Uí Chatháin i nDubhghlas i gCo. Chorcaí, agus, níos déanaí, i seilbh an Athar Patrick Kenyon. Seachas an méid sin níl le rá ach gur bhailigh an chuallacht léannta seo na lsí seo de réir a chéile agus gur thugadar togha na haire dóibh.

19ú haois. 8" x 9.9". 217 lch uimhrithe 1-215, ach 88-9 faoi dhó agus lch bán tar éis 115 fágtha gan uimhir; an príomhscríobhaí a d’uimhrigh go 203, agus Éamonn Ó Sealbhaidh as sin amach. Dhá dhuilleog cheangail chun tosaigh agus cuid de cheann (bán) laistiar. An tAthair Siomón Breathnach a scríobh in 1817 (cf. lch 1); tugann sé Tullachair mar log agus ‘mí deire Samhradh’ mar dháta níos cruinne ag 185i. Bhreac Eamonn Ó Sealbaidh ar lgh 199, 204, 212, agus ar an taobh istigh de na clúdaigh, níos déanaí. Tá stampa úinéara (?) ‘William J. Onahan Chicago’ ar an gclúdach tosaigh laistigh. Ansiúd leis agus ar na duilleoga ceangail tá nótaí mínithe ar na focail ‘Talmud’, ‘Hellenists’; nóta ar ‘Protesting Catholic Dissenters’; agus ráitis Laidine ó Hórás, Tertullian, agus eile. Tá comhartha seilbhe breactha ar an gcéad duilleog cheangail : ‘Arch. Prov. Hib.’ agus teideal na haiste ‘A dhuine cuimhnigh air do chriocha deighionach.’ Laistigh ar an gclúdach thiar tá: ‘Mangaire S. chúm S. Ó Tuama.’ Is lom an t-ionad san grinnoll na mbagh míne. 1 v. Tá an ls seo ceangailte i gcairtchlár glas le cúl leathair, ach go bhfuil an clúdach ar bogadh anois.

'Foras Feasa: An Leabhar Muimhneach 'Annála Inis Faithleann' '

18ú haois. 13.1" X 8", ach cuid de na duilleoga beagán níos lú ná sin. Lámhscríbhinn mhór í seo a cuireadh le chéile de réir a chéile. Is fusa líon na lch a dhéanamh amach de réir na gcodanna: (a) Bhí 340 + lch anseo ar dtús; dealraíonn sé go ndearnadh dearmad laghd- aithe d’aon san uimhriú ar dhuilleoga atá caillte anois. Tá 10 lch agus Igh eile tar éis 339i. caillte. Tá duilleoga sractha freisin (cf. infra); (b)32 lch, gan ach 1-18 uimhrithe agus stráice caillte ó bhun lgh 1-6; (c) 60 lch, uimhrithe 1-57, agus na trí lgh eile gan uimhriú agus le léamh aniar; (d) 4 lch ceangailte 2-1-4-3, agus 4 dhuilleog; leath d.4 sractha chun siúil; (e) Tá dhá uimhriú ar chuid de na lgh anseo; leantar uimhriú a thosaíonn le 3 (lgh 1-2 caillte); téann seo 3-105, ach tá lgh 3-4 ceangailte ar dtuathal; tá ‘6’ faoi dhó; tá lgh 32-35 caillte; tá lgh 68-9, 102-3 sractha, agus cúpla lch bán (cf. infra), (f) 18 lch, áirithe go haibítreach, ach ceann idir D agus E fágtha gan áireamh.

Micheál Ó Longáin/ Michael Long a scríobh an t-iomlán, ach nithe fánacha thall is abhus (cf. (a) 335m.; (b) 18m.). Tugann sé dáta 8-12- 1759 ag 18m. Is dócha go raibh H. I. 18 (i Leabharlann Choláiste na Tríonóide) mar fhoinse aige do chuid den ábhar. Tá liosta leabhar ag (c) 60-59-58 ó láimh eile, lámh an Easpaig Seán Ó Briain, pátrún an leabhair, is é is dóichí; d’fhágfadh sin gurb é clár a leabharlainne atá anseo. Tá breacaireacht ó lámha difiriúla thall is abhus. Tá dáta‘1781’ le síniú ‘Cornelius O’Brien’ ar (f) Q m. Tá síniú: ‘Cormac O Fithcheallaigh’, úinéir is dócha, ar (a)3i. agus (b) 17i.; tá cuid de na ceartúcháin etc. ina pheannaireacht.

Tá an Is seo ceangailte go slachtmhar i maothleabhar dearg. Comhartha na dTrí gCoinneal a cheangail is clos dom. Tá duilleoga ceangail chun tosaigh agus laistiar. Tá an seanchlúdach leathair a bhí ar an Is greamaithe laistigh den chlúdach nua. Tá armas greanta air sin chun tosaigh, agus nóta le peann luaidhe os a chionn: ‘Original binding. Episcopal arms of John O’Brien Bishop of Cloyne and Ross 1748-67’. Ó nádúr an ábhair, is furas a mheas gur don easpag seo go háirithe a scríobh Micheál Mac Pheadair Uí Longáin an Is seo. Tá ainm an easpaig go tútach ar (f) lch R.
