Of the 23 fragments which the volume contains, viii, xi, and xiii constitute a large part of a Materia Medica; the true order of folios is 69-72, 78, 78 a, 79, 80, 62, 74, 75, 83, 81, 82, 76, 73, 86, 87, 77 (end). Fragments ix, x, and xiv are parts of one treatise; xii and xv belong to a work on urine, xvii and xxi are parts of one treatise. F. 1 r contains a fragment of an old treatise, interspersed with metrical quatrains which O’Curry (Ac. Cat. i, 258-261) describes. He thinks it is not a translation but an original Irish treatise. The only authority referred to is the legendary Diancécht (f. i v°, 1. 12) and the language of the tract resembles that of certain parts of RIA MS 23 F 19, for which no Latin original has been found. Ff. 27-54 are almost entirely transcribed from RIA MS C iv 2. On f. 59 there are notes in English on the effect of various drugs. F. 105 contains a fragment of a homily on the Life of Christ. Ff 106-108 contain part of a Beatha Muire Life of Mary.Níl an t-ord ceart ar an lámhscríbhinn ag an am seo. Coimeádann blúirí viii, xi, agus xiii an cuid is mó de Materia Medica; is é an t-ord ceart ar na fóilió ná 69-72, 78, 78 a, 79, 80, 62, 74, 75, 83, 81, 82, 76, 73, 86, 87, 77 (críoch). Is cuid de thráchtas amháin ix, x, and xiv; baineann xii agus xv le hobair ar fual; is cuid de thráchtas eile xvii and xxi. Tá seanthráchtas ar f. 1 r, le rainn meadarach a thug O’Curry cuntas air (Ac. Cat. i, 258-261). Shíl sé nach aistriú atá i gceist ach bunthráchtas Gaelach. Níl aon údaras ann ach Diancécht (f. i v°, 1. 12) agus tá an scríbhinn cosúil le roinnt coda atá i RIA MS 23 F 19, nach bhfuil aon bunleagan ann i Laidin. Tá ff. 27-54 beagnach tras-scríobhaithe ó RIA MS C iv 2. Tá nótaí i mBéarla ar f. 59 ar drugaí áirithe agus a n-éifeachtaí. Tá blúire de 'Life of Christ' ar f. 105 agus cuid de Beatha Muire 'Life of Mary' ar ff.106-108.Copyright Royal Irish AcademyCopyright image source Irish Script on Screen, School of Celtic Studies, DIAS.Iomhá Foinse ag Meamram Páipéar Ríomhaire, Scoil an Léinn Cheiltigh, Institiúid Ard-Léinn Bhaile Átha Cliath.Cóipcheart ag Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireannRIA MS 23 N 29 is a Gaelic medical manuscript with some Latin and English from the 16th and 17th centuries.
