Caithréim Chellacháin Chaisil ("The Victorious Career of Cellachán of Cashel")[note 1] is an Irish tract from the first part of the 12th century.
The tale is ostensibly a biography of Cormac's 10th century ancestor Cellachán Caisil, but in reality a propaganda tract.
[1] It is written as an Eóganacht riposte to the Dál Cais/Uí Briain chronicle, Cogad Gáedel re Gallaib, but reflects the current political situation where former rivals Dál Cais and Eóganachta are allied against Tairrdelbach Ua Conchobair, with an emphasis on collaboration between Cellachán Caisil and Cennétig mac Lorcáin against their common foe, the Vikings.
[2] A copy of Caithréim Chellacháin Chaisil is contained in the Book of Lismore, as well as in several other manuscripts.
[3] The most recent edition of Caithréim was made by the Norwegian scholar Alexander Bugge in 1905.
