Gaelic Manuscript


Cín Lae – Gaelic Mauscript

 


Page prior to repair

We carried out extensive conservation repairs on this manuscript, normally housed in special collections, UCC. Upon completion of  repairs the un bound manuscript was returned for digital imaging.
The diary is an account of the Irish Confederate Wars from the outbreak of rebellion in 1641 until Feb. 1647, written by Tarlach O Mealláin.

Once conservation repairs were completed  the diary was scanned and is now available online on the website - Irish Scripts on Screen.




Rebinding of this manuscript is scheduled for 2013
