Information About

Mac Carthaigh's Book




The original manuscript is currently preserved in the National Library Of Ireland . The annals were edited and translated by Séamus Ó hInnse and published in 1947 by the Dublin Institute For Advanced Studies under the title ‘Miscellaneous Irish Annals’.

Mac Carthaigh's Book is important as one of the few native records of events in southern Ireland for the period it covers and it provides us with some interesting information on the effect the Norman Invasion had on Munster. Besides relying on other Irish annals it drew upon some foreign sources, notably Giraldus Cambrensis ' ''Expugnatio Hibernica''.
