Rough crowd! Per Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland Vol 124 (2004) pp 169-172; per Brian Lacey, "The Amrae Coluimb Cille has been generally thought to have been composed close to the time of death of its subject, which probably occurred in AD 593. We have been reminded, however, that this is a complex text which, lacking an adequate modern edition, has yet to be definitely dated as early as c. 600." Biography Brian Lacey was born in Dublin in 1949. He did various jobs in Ireland, Belgium, France and Greece for four years after finishing secondary education. He then studied Celtic Archaeology and Early including Medieval Irish History at University College Dublin (BA 1st class Hons, 1974; also awarded the Eugene OCurry memorial medal for Early Irish History), and obtained a D. Phil. from the University of Ulster in 1999 for interdisciplinary work relating to the heritage of St Colum Cille. From 1974 to 1986 he was a lecturer in Local Studies (archaeology and history) at Magee University College in Derry, and from 1986 until 1998 was Programme Organiser of Derry City Councils Heritage and Museum Service. During that time he set up, among other things, four award-winning museums and a municipal archive service.

However we need to distinguish between dates of manuscripts and estimates of dates when their original sources might have been written. There is no 597 AD manuscript such as you are implying, it exists in transcription from the 11th century. I apologise if people on this list don't think this distinction matters. Is it a totally accurate transcription without embellishments or errors?? > This is one of the earliest sources (not written 8th-10th centuries) > of Colum Cille's genealogy at such an early date.

What I said was that the oldest physical manuscript version of this work dates to the 11th century. Lacey (and yes I do know him as I have his book on the Cenél Conaill) isn't talking about the physical manuscript. My post was fairly easy to understand to anyone who knows what a transcription is, and all the pitfalls waiting for the modern reader. Just read back over our recent efforts at transcribing a few words from MS1467 recently, and the criticism heaped on Skene for his attempts.
