Calendery of Kilcormack, MS
« on: Sunday 04 August 19 02:56 BST (UK) »
"Calendary of Killcormack, MS."  Has anyone ever heard of it?

I can find two references to it.  One is in John O'Donovan's letters, where he says "the calender" when talking about Kilcormac, and wonders if there is mention of something in it.  Another is "Calendary of Killcormack, MS" in The History of Ireland: From the Earliest Period to the Year 1245 by John d' Alton. 1845

It seems to be some sort of annal relating to the area of Fearcal in the 1400s and 1500s.  I don't know what exactly is in it, but I was hoping that it contained local stuff not in the Annals of the Four Masters, or perhaps more details on the stuff in it which touches on the area.

Trouble is, I can't seem to find any other mention of it.

I've possibly found it.  I think it might be this thing called the Obits of Kilcormick

It seems to be a little spotty, missing at least one thing in the Annals of the Four Masters.  A pity, I was hoping it would at least include more placenames.  For instance, who was at what castle.
