Unnecessary mysteries

edit
  • "formerly known as the Book of Noughaval": Where and what is Noughaval? Why was it called so? Why changed?
  • "genealogy": Whose genealogy?
  • "Áed Ua Crimthainn":who's that? a concise paragraph summarising the articleÁed Ua Crimthainnwould tell the reader.
  • "annals recorded in the manuscript": Annals ofTerryglass,perhaps?
  • "A note in the manuscript suggests as many as 45 leaves have been lost": what does the note say?
  • "A diplomatic edition was published by the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies in six volumes over a period of 29 years:" What's a "diplomatic edition"? 29 years? Can the reader have a bibliographic footnote?--Wetman 14:56, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
I believe the annals are in fact a poem,Do Flaithesaib Hérend Iar Creitim.Whitley Stokescalled it "annals from the Book of Leinster".Diplomatic editionis a redirect to a relevant article. The book has a lot of genealogies in it. Easy enough to someone to add something on Áed. No idea on the other name or the missing pages though.Angus McLellan(Talk)00:34, 22 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

The wiki articleKevin of Glendaloughsays this was written about 1131; the article on the book says "second half of the 12th century". Sarah777(talk)18:38, 1 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
