An Cath CathardaTextMS A 17LS A 17gaIrishGaeilge1600-16991616139 ff.139 fóilió7.3" x 5.7"Historical TractSeanchusThe main hand seems to be that of the scribe of Brussels 20978-9, which was probably written in Co. Fermanagh in 1618 (see B. Ó Cuív, Éigse 9 (1959-60) 173 ff.). The initial intention of the Irish Franciscans at Louvain, Belgium in the early seventeenth century to collect the lives of the saints developped into a major historical and genealogical project which involved locating, collecting, and transcribing materials on the secular and ecclesiastical history of Ireland. Dispersal of the original and much larger collection of Irish and Latin manuscripts from Louvain began in the late eighteenth century with the French revolution. The collection was moved for safekeeping to St Isidore's College, Rome in 1792 where it remained until 1872 when it was moved to the Franciscan Friary at Merchants' Quay Dublin, again for safe-keeping, then to Section A (hence the name) of the newly established Franciscan Library at Dún Mhuire, Killiney in 1946, and, finally to University College Dublin in November 2000.Breathnaíonn sé gur scríobhaí Brussels 20978-9 an príomh lámh atá anseo agus is cosúil gur scríobadh í i gCo. Fhear Manach sa bhliain 1618 (féach ar B. Ó Cuív, Éigse 9 (1959-60) 173 ff.). I dtosach báire bhí sé ar intinn na bProinsiasach Éireannach a bhí i Lováin sa Bheilg ag tús an 17ú haois beathaí na naomh a bhailiú.Tháinig an scéim sin chun chinn mar scéim mhór stairiúil agus ghinealaigh, a aimsigh, a bhailigh agus a tras-scríobh a bhí ar stair shaolta agus eaglaisiúil na hÉireann. Thosaigh scaipeadh an bhunbhailiúcháin dena lámhscríbhinní Gaeilge agus Laidineacha, a bhí níos leithne, ó Lováin ag deireadh an 18ú haois le Réabhlóid na Fraince. Bogadh an bailiúchán go Coláiste Naomh Isidore, An Róimh sa bhliain 1792 chun go mbeadh sé sábháilte agus d'fhan sé ansin go dtí 1872 nuair a bhogadh é go dtí Mainistir na bProinsisach, Cé na gCeannaithe, Baile Átha Cliath. Bhí sé i Leabharlann na bProinsiasach, Dún Mhuire, Cill Iníon Léinín, Co. Bhaile Átha Cliath sa bhliain 1946 agus faoi dheireadh bogadh é go dtí Coláiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath i Samhain 2000.Co FermanaghBelgiumItalyDublinAn IodáilCo.
