MS 23 F 16
Court Verse
17th cent. Paper. 10⅓ × 7¼. pp. 224, including 8 unnumbered pp. at the beginning (here referred to as i to viii), but excluding some blank unnumbered pp. inserted by the binder at beginning and end. There are some mistakes in the numbering, viz. the no. "77" has been skipped, and there are two pp. numbered "144," and two more numbered "180." Scribe : Feargal Dubh Ó Gadhra, O.S.A. (pp. 117, 126, 144 a, 180), for some account of whom see p. iii of the ms., where he is also called an tAthair Nicolás. It was written in the Low Countries (san Tír lachtuir, p. 213), more particularly in Lille (p. 117) and Brussels (pp. 136, 148), during the following years : 1655 (pp. 46, 73), 1656 (pp. 88,117,121), 1657 (pp. 136, 141, 144a, 148, 180), and 1659 (p. 213). From the scribe's table of contents (p. viii) we see that the ms. originally contained at least 40 pp. more at the end, in which were 24 poems (see below). These poems had already been abstracted from the MS. as early as 1686, as we learn from the preface (p. iv). Pp. 118-119 are missing. Bound in leather, tooled, and gilt; gilt edges. A note on p. ii runs : " This Book was bound by Bryan Higgins of the Citty of Dublin, gent., in the month of October 1715." (This Brian Ó Huiginn, a native of North Connacht, was a lawyer in Dublin, and died in December, 1715; see his elegy by Seán Ó Gadhra in "Gaelic Journal," 178, pp. 832-3.) The inscription "Charles Gara his book" appears on p. 215. In the 18th cent. the ms. was in possession of O'Daly of Dunsandle (O'Flanagan, Trans. of the Gaelic Society of Dublin, 1808, pt. ii, p. 29; O 'Reilly, Irish Writers, p. xcvii). On the death of the Eight Hon. Denis Daly it passed into the hands of Lady Moira, who presented it to Theophilus O'Flanagan, in whose possession it was in 1808 (O'Flanagan, loc. cit.). The name "E. Moira Hastings, &c &c" is written on the inside of the front cover. In 1820 it was in the possession of John M'Namara, of Sandymount (O'Reilly, loc. cit.). Soon afterwards it was acquired by James Hardiman; on p. ii is pasted a printed slip, "James Hardiman," with "Dublin, 1823" added in ink. It was purchased from Hardiman by the Royal Irish Academy for £50 and a life-membership (O'Curry in Ac. Cat., i, 377). The ascriptions on pp. 55 and 89i. appear to be in E. O'Reilly's hand, as also the guesses at the dates of certain of the poems (e.g. those on pp. 91, 92, 93). Former Academy number, 22/5.
The ms. known as Egerton 111 in the British Museum, which was transcribed by Fínghin Ó Sgannail for James Hardiman, was for the most part copied from 23 F 16; see O'Grady's account in the Cat. of Irish MSS. in the British Museum, 339 sq. Eg. Ill, however, does not follow our ms. as regards the order of the poems; and, furthermore, it omits about 40 of the poems given in our ms., while including, towards the end, a number of poems derived from other sources. Inasmuch as O'Grady's catalogue of Eg. 1ll is a most useful and detailed one, and gives many extracts and annotations, I have added references to it in the case of those poems which are common to both mss. The figures in parentheses refer to the numbered "articles" of O'Grady's catalogue of Eg. 111. Of a total of 150 such "articles," 121 are derived from our ms., viz. nos. 1-114 and 116-122 inclusive.
p.
i , scribbling.
ii , see above.
iii . Address to the Reader (not signed, but in a hand different from that of the scribe); headed A leghthóir chairdeamhuil. Beg. Is ionmheosda méad an chúruim agus na tairise do bhí og ffar bprímhshinnsearaibh ar a noighribh. It concludes (p. iv) by asking a prayer for the scribe (Br. Fearghal) and stating that he is now, 5th June, 1686, alive and well san mBeinnfhada, i.e. in Banada, near Tobercurry, co. Sligo.
v . (rubbed), scribbling in various languages and hands.
vi . A note in French on a prediction concerning King Charles. Latin verses (8 11.) beg. "Balsamus et munda cera cum chrismatis unda." A note in Irish on the number of years from the creation of Adam to the Anglo Norman Invasion; beg. Agus as é an líon bliadhan atá ó chruthughadh Adhaimh anúas .i. ó dhealbhadh an domhain.
vii -viii . Index of poems in the ms., in the handwriting of the scribe. From this we see that the missing pp. at the end of the ms. (see above) contained the following poems : Beir oirbhire uaim go hAodh. Ba ghrádh nach beanfainn do Bhrían. Each gan earadhain an fhearcc. Ceart roinneas Día Dál gCais. Mo chean duit, a Ghrain[n]e gharbh. Ní dóith dhuit misi, a M[h]argreg. Truagk sin, a chinn mo chroidhe. T'aire riot, a mhic Murchaidh. Fada an chabhair go Cruachain.

Next came eleven poems of the Iomarbhágh, viz. nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, 13, 14, 7, 9, and 15 of McKenna's edition (Ir. Texts Soc., xx), then a poem beg. Dána do throidis, a Thaidhg (which appears to be lost), and finally no. 16 of McKenna's edition.
