Abstract

The genealogical section of the Psalter of Cashel was probably drafted c.900 by Cormac mac Cuilennáin, the bishop-king of Cashel. For Munster it draws mainly on records compiled c.740. The Psalter was updated c.1000. After a limited update c.1015 the Psalter was further edited by northern scholars in the eleventh century. Copies reached Leinster in the twelfth, and were included in Rawlinson B.502 and the Book of Leinster. The main stages of compilation are reflected in changes in genealogical doctrines, as the secular genealogies and the genealogies of the saints of Munster show. This section of the Psalter probably contained narrative material as well.
