DescriptionUCD MS A 34 is a collection like A 30, bound in a similar cover and written on paper in Irish. Items 1-2, 5, are probably from the 17th century, item 2 written by Fr. Bonaventura Doherty; items 3-4 are from the 18th century. All the lists deal with the same material, the Louvain collection, and are evidently inventories taken at different times. Many of the MSS listed are identifiable as now belonging to the present collection. This manuscript was probably with the Franciscan Collection kept at the Franciscan College, Louvain and moved to St. Isidore's College, Rome in 1792, it was then moved to the Franciscan Friary, Merchant's Quay, Dublin in 1872; to the Franciscan Library, Dún Mhuire, Killiney, Co. Dublin in 1946 and, from November 2000 was in University College Dublin.
