	Annals of the Four Masters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Entry for A.D. The Annals of the Four Masters or the Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland by the Four Masters are a chronicle of medieval Irish history.
		The Connellan translation included the annals from the 11th to the 17th centuries complete, and was the only version to have a four colour frontis and include a large folding map showing the location of families in Ireland.
		The reliability and usefulness of the Annals as a historical source has sometimes been questioned, on the grounds that they were limited to accounts of the births, deaths and activities of the Gaelic Irish nobility and often ignore wider social trends or events.

	Ireland
		The Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland by the Four Masters (usually shortened to The Annals of the Four Masters) claim to record the History of Ireland beginning just prior to Noah’s Flood.
		The first entries in the Annals of the Four Masters are thought to date from about 550 AD; earlier (and perhaps later entries as well) must be considered to be partly legendary.
		However, we must be careful not to “throw the baby out with the bathwater” as these annals represent a unique view of the history of Ireland as recorded by someone who was 1500 years closer to the truth than we are in the 21st century.
