Book Description
Collectively the Irish annals represent a substantial and important source for the history and culture of Ireland. These texts provide the primary witness for much of early medieval Irish history, and for many key events and persons up until c.1600. Many of the most important of these texts passed into the possession of 17th-century Anglo-Irish scholars, and it was principally their work which formed the basis for all modern scholarship on them. However, examination of their work shows that a number of the accepted hypotheses rest upon assertions of opinion, and are unsupported by any textual evidence. This book first re-examines the manuscript evidence, commencing with an account of the primary manuscript witnesses for the ten most characteristic annalistic texts. It then reviews the scholarly literature relating to the annalistic corpus and identifies those hypotheses that are not supported by the available evidence. Next, based upon a critical evaluation of both the textual and chronological characteristics of the texts, the book establishes, where possible, the place, author(s), time and salient characteristics of the compilations that have contributed to the development of these ten texts. The penultimate chapter reviews the chronology of these texts and identifies the basis for a synchronised chronology for them all.

Book Description
The Franciscan Friar John Clyn of Kilkenny, famous for his account of the Black Death, wrote his annals between 1333-1349. The annals cover a troubled period of Irish history and are principally local to counties Tipperary and Kilkenny. While Clyn is critical of the Irish of those regions, who were bent on taking back control of as much of the area as possible, Clyn was also critical of the troublesome members of the Anglo-Irish nation who ignored the public good in pressing forward for their own personal aims and objectives. Clyn decried both nations as being troublesome and disruptive of good order. Clyn was also well aware of many events in England and even Europe; it is more thatÃ?Â?Ã?Â?probable that he attended the General Chapter at Marseilles in 1343. Clyn was from a military and chivalric background; his annals reflect this background and are unique for the information they contain about creation of knights in Ireland.
