Notes in both English and Irish probably written by Patrick Pearse. Includes a sketch, possibly of the medieval Christian monastery on St. Macdara’s Island off the coast of County Galway. Also includes references to St. Enda, a sixth-century saint who founded a Christian monastic settlement on Inis Mór, and Mochuda of Lismore who ‘did fishing’.
Draft transcription (with emendations and notes) of ‘Sgéal “Sheandúin”’ (Tadhg Ó Murchadha). The transcription was probably compiled by Br. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. for his serial publication of Ó Murchadha’s text in ‘The Father Mathew Record’ (July 1924-August 1925). It appears that transcription is missing several pages.
Manuscript transcript of Robert Emmet’s ‘Speech from the dock’ (1803) by Terence MacSwiney. The text is a copy by MacSwiney of an Irish translation of Emmet’s speech made by Tadhg Ó Murchadha (‘Seandún’). The text was later bound into a volume by Br. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. Gilt title to spine reads ‘Manuscript copy by Terence MacSwiney of Robert Emmet’s speech’. A manuscript addition suggests that the original translation by Ó Murchadha was published in ‘Fáinne an Lae’ in May 1899.
