D. 1590, Rolls Series 54 (2 vols, London 1871), repr. by reflex facsimile (Irish Manuscripts Commission: Dublin 1939). The manuscript of the Annals of Loch Cé, Dublin, Trinity College, MS 1293 (alias H. 1. 19) is lacunose for part of the year 1316 (=i 584, line 12, of Hennessy's edition) to the end of 1412 (=ii 144, line 5, of Hennessy's edition). To fill this lacuna Hennessy printed a text of the Annals of Connacht, derived not from MS 1 (to which he did not have access) but from MS 2, collated with MS 3.

Encoding

Project Description

CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

The electronic text represents odd pages 3–737 of the english translation in Freeman's edition. All the editorial introduction, historical notes, codicological notes, and indices have been omitted. Editorial corrigenda (where relevant) are integrated into the electronic edition. Editorial corrections entered in the body of the work are tagged corr and the original reading is kept in the sic attribute.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been checked and proofread. Readers are invited to submit corrections and emendations both of this electronic edition and of the editions on which it is based. Any improvements will be credited to the scholars who submit them.

Normalization

The electronic text represents the hardcopy edition. CELT conventions have been applied to the text.

Quotation

Quotations are rendered q.

Hyphenation

Soft hyphens are silently removed. When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break or line-break, the page-break or line-break is marked after the completion of the hyphenated word.

Segmentation

div0=the body of annals; div1=the individual annal (the text for a year); div2=the individual entry in an annal. Passages of verse occurring within text paragraphs are treated as embedded texts in the structural mark-up. The page-breaks of the printed text are marked pb n=""/. The line-breaks of the translation have not been tagged, as they are not marked in the printed edition, either.

Interpretation

Names (persons, groups, dynasties, tribes, peoples, places) are not tagged. Offices and titles (king, abbot, lord etc.) are not tagged. Numbers and dates are not tagged.

Canonical References

This text uses the DIV1 element to represent the Annal.

Refs: ENTRY (<DIV2>)
