  • annals of themselves "Nobody has yet discussed the problems arising out of the extensive genealogies of the Irish Saints which have come down to us. The principal reason for this is the absence of a printed collection of them. The highest importance is accorded them in our ancient manuscripts. Readers will have noticed in the annal entries that ecclesiastics and men of learning generally get the leading mention. Something similar is to be observed in the genealogical treatises to which Dr. MacNeill so properly draws attention." : Paul Walsh, Comments on the Foregoing Article, in Studies: An Irish Quarterly Review Volume 13, Number 50, June 1924, pp 189-200, The Educational Company of Ireland, Dublin (1924)
