Book of Clonmacnoise

The Book of Clonmacnoise, was compiled in the seventeenth century by Conla MacGeoghegan, a learned writer, and a native of Westmeath, who dates the work on 30th June, 1627. It was compiled from various ancient annals, and contains an abstract of the history of Ireland from the earliest times down to the middle of the fifteenth century, ending at A.D. 1466. It is written in English, being a translation from ancient MSS., but has never been printed, though containing much important information on Irish history. There is a copy of it in Trinity College, Dublin.
