Annals Of InisfallenThe Annals of Inisfallen are a chronicle of the medieval history of Ireland. There are more than 2,500 entries spanning the years between AD 433 and AD 1450, but it is believed to have been written between the 12th and 15th centuries. It was written by the monks of Inisfallen Abbey, on Innisfallen Island on Lough Leane, near Killarney. As well as the chronological entries, the manuscript contains a short, fragmented narrative of the history of pre-Christian Ireland, known as the pre-Patrician section. This section has many elements in common with Lebor Gabla renn. The annals are now housed in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. In 2001, Brian O'Leary, a Fianna Fil councillor in Killarney, called for the annals to be returned to the town. See also External links
