Scribes: (1) main scribe, pp. 1–11, 11a, 11b, 16.1–9, 16.17–z, 17, 20, 23, 27.20–z, 28.2–3 (first part of line), 30.6–7, 31, 38.15–z, 41.1–19, 42.21–z, 45.6–z, 47–114, 135.26–147.12, 191.1–193.z, writing in 1592 (p. 99.z), no scribal signature; in the hand of Cathal Ó Duinnshléibhe, whose signature appears in National Library of Scotland MS Adv. 73.1.22, f. 122rbz (misi Catal O Duinnshlebhe); for Cathal's career and association of this MS with Ossory, see Aoibheann Nic Dhonnchadha, ‘The medical school of Aghmacart, Queen's County’ Ossory, Laois and Leinster 2 (2006) 11–43: 36–43; (2) pp. 12–15, 16.10–16, 18–19, 21–2, 24.1–27.19, 28.1, 28.3–30.6, 30.7–z, 32.1–38.14, 39–40, 41.19–42.21, 43.1–45.5, 46, 153–57, 173.13–176.z, 179, 194–214, no scribal signature; (3) pp. 115.1–134.20 (first part of line), 135.x (first part of line), no scribal signature; (4) pp. 134.20 (second part of line)–135.w, no scribal signature; (5) pp. 151.1–25, no scribal signature; (6) pp. 157.z (continuation of line in lower margin), 158–68, 180–190, no scribal signature; (7) pp. 215.1–218.13, 218.x (second part of line)–z, no scribal signature; (8) p. 218.14–x (first part of line), no scribal signature; (9) pp. i–ii (see below), apparently in 17th cent. hand not found in manuscript proper. Manuscript written for one ‘Aodh’, who is addressed by main scribe on the final page of the first and fourth gatherings (pp. 11a and 58, respectively; see notes (s) and (y) below), and whose ownership of the manuscript is recorded by scribe 2 (p. 14.y; see note (u) below); ‘Aodh’ is probably identical with the ‘Hugo’ addressed by main scribe in note on p. 6.z (see note (r) below); he may have been a member of the Mac Caisín medical family of Upper Ossory, among whom the forename ‘Aodh’ was in use (cf. ‘Aod Mac Caisin’ (fl. c. 1400) cited in Royal Irish Academy MS 23 M 36 (472), p. 18.14; cf. also ‘Hugh m`Owny M`Casshine, of Rathilt [Co. Kilkenny ?], physician’, cited (a. 1571–2) in The Irish fiants of the Tudor sovereigns I–IV (Blackrock 1994) II, § 2059).

Collation: i⁸ wants 2 (stub visible between iv and 1; no loss of text), ii–vi⁸, vii² (pp. 91–4), viii⁸, ix² (?, pp. 111–114), x⁸, xi⁶, xii⁶ (wants 6 with no loss of text; stub visible after p. 152), xiii–xv⁸, xvi^{8 + 1} (pp. v–vi inserted after p. [218]); textual sequence shows chasm (of approximately 10 lines) to have occured after p. 114 indicating loss of singleton after ix.

Single column, ruled in dry point. Marginal glosses, evidently in hand of scribe 5, in outer margins of pp. 61, 63, 66, 71, 78, 79. Headings ‘Emanuel’ (p. 12, upper margin) and ‘In Dei nomine amen’ (p. 115, upper margin) mark commencement of writing by scribes 2 and 3 respectively.
