Topic: Book of Leinster

The Book of Armagh was also known as the "Canon of Patrick", and it was once thought that it was the Patron's own book and in part, the work of Patrick himself.
The Book of Armagh is, in the main, a transcript of documents of a much older period than the book which has preserved them, and these documents are of inestimable value for the early history and civilization of Ireland.
The Book of the Dun Cow, or "Leabhar na Uidhre", is the oldest surviving miscellaneous manuscript in Irish literature.

This written version of history in archaic documents like the Book of Leinster and the Book of Armagh were thought to be correct at the expense of oral tradition and legendary history in the Dindsenchas documents.
This book revitalises the oral traditions, reconstructs archaeological evidence and delves into archaic documents for scraps of unaltered written evidence for the existence of Celtic Centres of Power in Galway.
It is not the intention of the book to detract from the present understanding of Irish history, although by its nature this is inevitable.

Leinster consulted books on insects by Jean Henri Fabre, Ralph Beebe, and Maurice Maeterlinck to describe the behavior of his insects.
The author Murray Leinster was an entomologist and he brought a scientific perspective and also a remarkable literary talent to the descriptions of those giant bugs and the buggy, mushroomy environment, including many vivid fantastic scenes.

The events leading up to this tale, the most famous of Irish mythical stories, may be shortly summarised here from the Book of Leinster introduction to the _Tain_, and from the other tales belonging to the Ulster cycle.

The first of them is preserved in Lebhor na hUidhre (The book of the dun cow), dated circa 1100 CE, and in the Yellow Book of Lecan, a late fourteenth-century manuscript.
The second is preserved in the Book of Leinster, written in the mid-twelfth century, and the third in two manuscripts of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
This recension seems to have been compiled about the middle of the eleventh century from at least two variant written versions dating from about the ninth century, but may also have drawn upon sources in oral tradition.

The eleventh-century manuscript definitely gives a yet older book, the Yellow Book of Slane, now lost, as its authority, and this may be the ultimate authority for the tale as we have it.
But, although there is only one original version of the text, it is quite plain from internal evidence that the compiler of the Yellow Book of Slane, or of an earlier book, had two quite different forms of the story to draw from, and combined them in the version that we have.

 After the Flood - Chapter 8
The Cin of Drom Snechta, otherwise known as The Book of Invasions, is now lost by all accounts, (3) but its contents were preserved by Keating, the Irish historian who wrote his own History from this and many other early manuscripts in about AD 1630.
Cusack provides further information from the Book of Leinster on another of these early chronicles inasmuch as the contents of the Cuilmenn (see Note 3 at the end of the chapter) were almost forgotten by as early as AD 580, showing that by that year it was already of great antiquity.
There later follows a succession of strange and ancient names, of which the table of descent that opens this chapter is a somewhat simplified extract.
