<title key="work_10194">The Annals of Inisfallen</title>
<note>Annals written either in the church of <orgName key="org_129">Emly</orgName> or in that of <orgName key="org_315687992">Lismore</orgName>, continued from the mid 12th century probably at the monastery of <orgName key="org_128">Innisfallen</orgName>.</note>
<title key="work_10194" type="desc">Annals ('The Annals of Inisfallen')</title>

<note>Annals in Irish and Latin, now beginning with Abraham, but with two leaves lost at the beginning; ending in 1326 C.E. but with a few marginal additions extending to 1450. Text is missing before fol. 1, after fol. 6, after fol. 36, after fol. 44, and after fol. 50.</note>
<note>The origin of the annals to 1092 is disputed, with scholars suggesting both <orgName key="org_129">Emly</orgName> and <orgName key="org_315687992">Lismore</orgName>; from 1092 onwards Mac Airt suggested that the annals were continued perhaps at Lismore (to 1130), thereafter further west in Munster, by at least the late thirteenth century at <orgName key="org_128">Innisfallen</orgName>. See D. McCarthy, <title>The Irish Annals: Their Genesis, Evolution and History</title> (Dublin, 2008), 211-16, with references to earlier literature. The somewhat misleading description of the manuscript as 'The Annals of Inisfallen' goes back to its seventeenth-century owner James Ware (see Provenance).</note>
<note>Ed. and tr. Seán Mac Airt, <title>The Annals of Inisfallen (MS. Rawlinson B. 503)</title> (1951): electronic edition CELT: The Corpus of Electronic Texts, in four sections: (1) <ref target="https://celt.ucc.ie/published/G100004P/">text to 433</ref>; (2) <ref target="https://celt.ucc.ie/published/T100004P/">translation to 433</ref>; (3) <ref target="https://celt.ucc.ie/published/G100004/">text from 433</ref>; (4) <ref target="https://celt.ucc.ie/published/T100004/">translation from 433</ref> </note>
