ProvenanceAccording to the RIA Catalogue it is Corc Ú Cadhla who wrote these leaves in 1583-84 (cf. p. 1180). It is possible that the one scribe wrote the whole manuscript except f.5v. There are three hands on this page, the first writing the Latin, a love poem from the pen of the owner, "Labhrás Cúimíne" (cf. 7v). At the bottom of the page there is yet another hand and newer ink. It is clear that what is here was in the possession of Labhrás; RIA MS 24 P 15 was also in his possession. The pages are held together now between two lavish white leaves. On the outside of one of them "O'Curry 97" is written.

RelationRIA MS 24 P15

NotesContains devotional poems. There are seven paper leaves here. Ff. 1, 3 have a connection with RIA MS 24 P 15, (Ff. 3r here follows p. 130 of the latter: cf. RIA Cat. p. 1182). . It is a pity that there are only strips remaining (under half) of theses leaves (8.8" × 5-6.7"). Some leaves are completely worn.The others have a connection with other manuscripts from the same period, according to the penmanship. The edges are worn and text has been lost as a result.

DescriptionNUIM MS C 97 is a composite Gaelic manuscript from the 16th and 18th centuries. Written on paper in Irish and Latin by Corc Ú Cadhla and Labhrás Cúimíne at unknown locations in 1583-84 and 1730 respectively it contains religious poetry, (contents are listed on the Irish Script on Screen/ Meamram Paipéar Ríomhaire website under the Catalogue Description for NUIM MS C 97). It is probable that the manuscript was written in total by Corc Ú Cadhla except for f.5v which was written while was in the possession of Labhrás Cúimíne in 1730, a third hand also appears on this page. The manuscript subsequently came into the possession of the Russell Library, Maynooth.

ReferencesÓ Háinle (Cathal): Múin aithrighe dhamh, a Dhé revised in Ériu 54 (2004), pp. 103–123. New edition of the poem (supersedes L. McKenna 1919 [Best2 1759], 65-68), based on Book of O’Conor Don 50r-51r (33 qq.); now attributed to Tadhg Óg Ó hUiginn. With a selection of variant readings from other MSS, translation, commentary and textual notes. Also includes a discussion of the motif of the blood-spotted hand, shown to differ in its structure from that in Gesta Romanorum but analogous to that used by Shakespeare for his Lady Macbeth. Provides an appendix with the translation of the Gesta Romanorum version of De amore inordinato.
