Notes: "The life (of St. Declan) herewith presented was copied in 1629 by Brother Michael O'Clery ... from an older ms. of Eochy O'Heffernan's dated 1582 ... Apparently O'Clery did more than transcribe; he reedited, as was his wont, into theliterary Irish of hisday ... The "Life (of St. Mochuda or Carthach) ... is in its present form a comparatively late production; it was transcribed by (John) Murphy between 1740 and 1750".--Introd.
