According to the genealogy of his tribe, as traced by
himself from the ancient records of his ancestors, the
family of Mac Firbis was descended from Dathi, or Nathi,
the last pagan Monarch of Ireland, and progenitor of most
of the principal families of Connaught, from whom the subject of the present notice was, as he alleges, the twenty-ninth

at Lecan-mic-Firbisy, in the county of Sligo, the residence
of the compilers at the time. The Mac Firbis family seems
to have previously resided in the county of Mayo; for, in

entitled to privileges
and emoluments hardly

extract from the account of the ceremony 2 observed at
the inauguration of the O'Dowda, as prince of HyFiachrach, affords a curious illustration of the nature of
some of these privileges
:

Mac Firbis pronounce the name, and until Mac Firbis raises
the body of the wand over the head of O'Dowda. And
after O'Caemhain and Mac Firbis, every clergyman and
comarb of a church, and every bishop, and every chief of
a district, pronounces the name."
We have no evidence to show when the family of
Mac Firbis removed to Lecan, on the eastern bank of the
river Moy, where they appear to have been settled before
the year 1397, as some of their compositions are stated to
have been written there in that year.

Respecting his education, Professor O'Curry writes
"
Duald Mac Firbis appears to have been intended for the

for that of the Fenechas, or ancient laws of his native
country (now improperly called the Brehon Laws). To

school of the O'Davorens, where we find him, with many
other young Irish gentlemen, about the year 1595, under
2
the presidency of Donnell O'Davoren."
Duald Mac
Firbis's studies
were not confined to the
ordinary branches of education attainable through the
medium of his native language, but included also Greek
and Latin. From his account of the Anglo-Norman and
Welsh families settled in Ireland, he seems to have been
familiar with the writings of Giraldus Cambrensis and
Holingshed. He appears also to have read Verstegan's
"

of Rolewinck.
In his copy of Cormac's
Glossary, preserved in the Library of Trinity College,
Dublin, (Class H. 2, 15), he explains many Latin and
Greek words in the margin, always writing the Greek in
the original character. Nevertheless, the rude Latinity
of some of the entries in the following chronicle indicates
that his knowledge of Latin was very imperfect.
We have no account of Mac Firbis's proceedings from
the period when he had completed his education until the
year 1645, two years after the death of his father, when
he seems to have been settled in Galway, where he became acquainted with the learned Roderick O'Flaherty

securing the services of one so thoroughly acquainted
with the language, history, and antiquities of his country
as Mac Firbis had the reputation of being, employed him,
in the year 1655, to collect and translate, from the Irish
Annals, materials for the composition of his learned works
on the Antiquities and Ecclesiastical History of Ireland.
His connection with Ware, who, as already remarked,
makes no reference to the services rendered him by Mac
Firbis, has been generally considered to have commenced

scholar in 1666 but there are two tracts compiled by Mac

The state of misery to which his friend OTlaherty was
brought after the confiscation of his ample inheritance, is
incidentally told by Dr. Thomas Molyneux, in his account

but his ill fortune has stripped him of these as* well as
other goods, so that he has nothing now left but some few

The death of Mac

was sudden and
violent.
In
the year 1670, while travelling to Dublin, he was assassinated at Dunflin, in the county of Sligo. The circumstances attending the event, are thus narrated by Professor

It is unnecessary to dwell further on Mac Firbis's profound knowledge of the history, language, and literature

his learned contemporaries.

other places, where a difficulty apparently occurred in
deciphering the original from which he copied, he ventures
on conjectural emendations, without, however, affecting
the integrity of his text. At the year 718 (recti 722),
where a large deficiency occurs, he speaks of " the old

two leaves, as a provision for which he leaves a part of his
MS. blank. The hiatus 2 left in his transcript of the
entry at the year 1013 (recti 1015) illustrates the fidelity
with which he copied the original Chronicle. Both these

year AD. 353, in which the kalends of January coincided
with the 6th day of the week, or Friday ; although the
date 357 has been added opposite to the entry in A.,
apparently by Charles O'Conor of Belanagare. The year
353 has therefore been added in the margin.
That the entry of St. Patrick's birth under the year 353

is a gross error,
appears from the record of his death at
the year 489, where he is stated to have died in the 122nd
year of his age, although the number of intervening

The defect which occurs at the year 718=722, and
extends to the year 805, is very much to be regretted,
involving, as
it
does, the loss of, perhaps, the
most histori-
cally interesting part of the chronicle ; for there is hardly
any period in the history of his country to which an
Irishman can look back with more unmixed satisfaction
than the eighth century, when Ireland was, in the words
of Dr. Johnson, " the school of the west, the quiet habitation of sanctity and literature," when Irish missionai'ies
zealously laboured to make the savage Teuton a participator in the blessings of Christianity, before the civilization of their own country had sustained the rude shock
administered by the Danish invasion. This deficiency is
the more to be regretted, inasmuch as the Annals of Tighernach, with which the Chronicum Scotorum
may be regarded
as of equal authority, are defective about the same period.
But the hiatus in Tighernach is much more extensive, all
that portion embracing the transactions of 210 years
from A.D. 766 to 976 being unfortunately missing.
This hiatus can be fairly supplied from the present
chronicle to the extent of 171 years, i.e. from 805 to 976

There are numerous references in the present chronicle
to the affairs of Scotland and Wales, and also to the
Cruithne, or Picts. But the annalist frequently leaves it
uncertain whether he refers to the Picts of Scotland or of
Ireland.

ambiguous, the Editor felt uncertain at first as to whether

off the hair of females entering into the religious state

the ceremony
of cutting off the hair of nuns, in token of voluntary subjection to a life of penance and mortification, was intro-

that it was practised in Ireland at a very early date. 2

him by the Right
Honorable Lord R-omilly, who took the trouble of examining with critical care, the evidence submitted to

Ivii
Hardy, esq., Deputy Keeper of the Public Records in
England, the Editor also feels indebted for many obliging
services, and much useful advice and encouragement.
His thanks are likewise due to the Provost and Senior
Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin, and to the Council of
the Royal Irish Academy, for allowing him free access to
MSS.
The Rev. Dr. Reeves, ever ready to extend a generous
hand to every fellow-labourer, and whose rich store of
their collections of Irish
information
always at the service of every inquirer,
placed the Editor under a lasting obligation, by reading
the proof sheets, and correcting many errors which, if
allowed to pass into print, would seriously affect the accuis
racy of the present publication.
The Editor's acknowledgments are due, in an especial
manner, to his kind friend, the Rev. Dr. Todd, Senior
Fellow of Trin. Coll., Dublin, from whose learned works
on the history, language, and antiquities of Ireland, he
has derived much advantage
;
who afforded him the benefit
of an enlightened judgment on many points of difficulty
encountered in the progress of the work ; and to whose
and counsel the Editor owns himself largely
indebted for whatever qualifications he may be considered

to possess for the task of editing the present volume.

Four years after the eruption of Brena, the death of
Parrthalon took place. In Sen Magh Ealta he was buried.
The reason, moreover, why that is called Sen Magh is
because no tree ever grew there. Five hundred and two,
or 402 years, as Eochaidh sang, 2 Parrthalon's people were
in Erinn.
The first plague that happened 3 in Erinn after
the Flood was the pestilence of Parrthalon's people. It

Inbher Sgene, and the wife of Aimergin Gluingil, i.e.
Sgene Davilsir, died there, and her grave was made there
hence it was called Inbher Sgene. Erennan's 2 grave was
