| Author |
Ádhamh Ó Cuirnín (assisted by his scribes). Commissioned by the Magauran clan |
| Pages |
Around 20 + folio sheets. |
| Summary |
Written by the same chief editor as The Great Book of Lecan, The Book of Ballymote, The Book of Fermoy and the Book of Hy Many (Ádhamh Ó Cuirnín), with assistant scribes. It follows the similar formula for family geneology manuscripts produced by Ó Cuirnín and his writers with modifications in favour of the Magauran clan and their ancestors Sept Mac Samhradhan. |
| Context |
Produced for commercial consideration by Ádhamh Ó Cuirnín and his scribes using a standard formula based around the Book of Leinster and additional texts they created. Wholly unreliable as evidence clearly shows genealogies were created purely for the benefit of the client family. His name later changed to Ruaidhri Ó Cianáin to hide his real identity and the fact this Book was merely one of many created the same way. |
