Notes

This online edition is based on galley proofs (originally intended for print publication by the Irish Manuscripts Commission) prepared by Professor John A. Murphy. Additional editorial work and preparation of the text for online publication was completed by Emer Purcell. 121 galley proofs were scanned and proofed. Professor Murphy's editorial corrections were then integrated into the text. The footnotes were added and markup and structural analysis were completed. For reference purposes only page numbers were then inserted even though they were not present in the galley proofs. At present, the maps from the Petworth MS, Petworth House Archive, West Sussex Record Office, have been included in this online edition. CELT is grateful Lord Egremont for his kind permission to reproduce these maps.
