Yellow Book of Lecan

Yellow Book of Lecan [Ir. Lebor Buide Lecáin]. One of the great medieval Irish manuscripts, including the complete version of Tochmarc Étaíne [The Wooing of Étaín], Aided Óenfhir Aífe [The Tragic Death of Aífe's Only Son], Scéla Cano meic Gartnáin [The Story of Cano mac Gartnáin], Togail Bruidne Da Derga [The Destruction of Da Derga's Hostel], and a version of Orgain Denna Ríg [The Destruction of Dind Ríg], as well as a version of Táin Bó Cuailnge [Cattle Raid of Cooley]. Although the Yellow Book was compiled at Lecán (now Lacken), near Inishcrone, Co. Sligo, c.1390, narratives within the collection can be dated centuries earlier from internal evidence; Aided Óenfhir Aífe, for example, appears to be 9th-century. See The Yellow Book of Lecan, ed. Robert Atkinson (Dublin, 1896). A selection of poems from the manuscript appears in The Yellow Book of Lecan, ed. Lambert McKenna for the Irish Texts Society (Dublin, 1939–40).
