Thousand-year-old manuscript returns to Ireland for UCC exhibition

A nearly 1,000-year-old manuscript known as The Annals of Inisfallen will be displayed at University College Cork (UCC) from now until November. Handwritten in Irish and Latin, the 57 vellum leaves document Ireland's history from before Saint Patrick's arrival up to the 15th century. The manuscript includes accounts of Viking raids, early Jewish communities in Ireland, natural phenomena like comets and heavy snowfall, and notable figures such as kings and poets. It was originally copied in the monastery of Lismore and later moved to Inisfallen Island in Killarney, where it remained for centuries. The exhibition highlights the manuscript's significance as a historical record of Ireland's political, religious, and cultural development over time.
