Excerpt from The Irish Ecclesiastical Record, Vol. 17: A Monthly Journal Under Episcopal Sanction; March, 1921
A celebrated kinsman of Peregrine was named David. This David has left us a fine body of Irish literature in a number of manuscripts transcribed by him. At least three of them are preserved in the Royal Irish Academy, and are numbered in that collection C.iv.3, B.iv.1, and 24.p.9. At folio 125 of the second of these manuscripts he gives his own pedigree as follows David, son of Matthew Glas, son of Dolbh, son of Paidin, son of Maoileachlainn, son of Dubhthach Og, son of Dubhthach Mor, etc.' Dubhthach Og, son of Dubhthach Mor, died in the year 1511. He is described in The Annals of Loch Cc as the sage of Eire in history, and a man of great wealth.' Of the intervening generations I find no mention. David flourished in the second half of the seventeenth century. He has entered a number of valuable items in the books he transcribed. Some of these I shall print and translate here. They throw additional light on the hard conditions under which the men of learning in Ireland had' to work.
