Notes

From Mahaffy'a article it appears that neither the English translation presented here nor the Latin version in O'Sullivan Beare's Compendium is complete. We are very grateful to Dr C. J. Woods, author of 'Travellers' accounts as source material for Irish historians' (Dublin 2009) for calling our attention to this travel account. We are also very grateful to Dr Alan Mac an Bhaird, Andorra, for lending his expertise in resolving queries about the text, and especially for making available the Catalan and Occitan version to CELT.
