Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Italic title Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Redirect-distinguish-text Шаблон:Infobox manuscript Шаблон:Location map The Great Book of Lecan or simply Book of Lecan (Шаблон:Lang-ga) (RIA, Шаблон:Abbr 23 P 2) is a late-medieval Irish manuscript written between 1397 and 1418 in Castle Forbes, Lecan (Lackan, Leckan; Irish Шаблон:Lang), in the territory of Tír Fhíacrach, near modern Enniscrone, County Sligo. It is in the possession of the Royal Irish Academy.[1] Another date estimate puts the range from Шаблон:Circa–1432 or possibly even a little later.[2] David Sellar, who was the Lord Lyon King of Arms in Scotland, concluded that it dates from the early 15th century.[3]

Шаблон:Lang is written in Middle Irish and was created by Ádhamh Ó Cuirnín, Murchadh Ó Cuindlis, and an anonymous third scribe[2][4] for Giolla Íosa Mór Mac Fhirbhisigh. The material within was transcribed from the Book of Leinster, latter copies of the Book of Invasions, the Dinsenchas, the Banshenchas, and the Book of Rights.[1]

At one stage it was owned by James Ussher. After it was seized from Trinity College Dublin by troops under the command of Sir John Fitzgerald, 2nd Baronet, in 1689 during the Williamite War in Ireland, James II of England deposited it at the Irish College, Paris.[5] In 1787, the Chevalier O'ReillyШаблон:Clarify returned it to Ireland, where it was at one stage in the possession of Charles Vallancey, who passed it on to the Royal Irish Academy.[6]

There were originally 30 folios; the first nine were apparently lost in 1724. These contained a large section devoted to the pedigrees and history of the Norse and Norse–Gaelic families of Ireland, which are nowhere else preserved.[7]

The pages are covered in a greasy substance which makes them transparent and reduces their legibility.[1]
