His major work, ''Foras Feasa ar Éirinn'' (literally "Foundation of Knowledge on Ireland", more usually translated "History of Ireland") was written in Irish and completed ca. 1634 , during the reign of Charles I Of England . The ''Foras Feasa'' traced the history of Ireland from the creation of the world to the invasion of the Normans in the 12th Century , based on the rich native historical and pseudohistorical traditions (including that of the Milesians ), historical poetry, annals and ecclesiastical records. Ireland's English rulers discouraged Printing in Irish so the ''Foras Feasa'' circulated in Manuscript . BIBLIOGRAPHY
