Medieval and Manuscripts

Book of Leinster

The Book of Leinster (Middle Irish: Lebor Laignech pronounced [ˈl̠ʲeβəɾ ˈl̪aɣʲnʲəx], LL) is a medieval Irish manuscript compiled c. 1160 and now kept in Trinity College Dublin. It was formerly known as the Lebor na Nuachongbála ("Book of Nuachongbáil"), a monastic site known today as Oughaval. In 2023, Trinity College started an extensive restoration project to make the manuscript available for public viewing. Fragments of the book, such as the Martyrology of Tallaght, are in the collection of University College Dublin.
