Subject:Medieval Ireland

The Annals of Boyle (Irish: Annála Mhainistir na Búille, IPA: [ˈan̪ˠaːlə ˈwanʲəʃtʲəɾʲ ˈnˠə ˈbˠuːl̪ʲə]), also Cottonian Annals, are a chronicle of medieval Ireland. The entries span the years up to 1253. It is considered one of the works that forms The Chronicle of Ireland, although in summary form compared to others.

Description

Robin Flower wrote in 1927:

The Annals used the Irish language, with some entries in Latin. Because the Annals copied its sources verbatim, the annals are useful not just for historians, but also for linguists studying the evolution of the Irish language.

The manuscript is now held in the British Library, under reference Cotton MS Titus A XXV.
