Trinity College Dublin MS 1317 [H.2.15B] is an autograph manuscript by Dubhaltach Mac Fhirbhisigh (murdered 1671).
The most succinct description of the manuscript is by Irish historian, William O'Sullivan: [It is] "the most personal of Dubhaltach's surviving manuscripts, including scribblings as well as texts written by himself and his grandfather, Dubhaltach Mor.
Unhappily, because written on paper, hard wear has many items in a fragmentary condition.
"This is followed by eighteen pages in Dubhlatach's handwriting, which "... has all the appearance of a student's copybook or roughwork book ...
Most of the page [page 77] is covered with all kinds of scribbling, much of it in the nature of probationes pennae which are difficult to make sence of, or, in many cases, even to read ... it is difficult to make any sence of much of it, and matters are not helped by the employment of some rather unusual tachygrams.
