the notes are quite lengthy and should take longer to transcribe than
the English text. Except for the part of the introduction specific
to the "Life of Declan" and a few notes transplanted in brackets to
the body of the text I have not transcribed them. Due to inexperience
with the Irish language and its alphabet/font I have decided not to
attempt to transcribe the Irish text. Hopefully someone with the
appropriate talent and interest will undertake that task some day.
I have corrected the errata as indicated in the source and a few
obvious printer errors. Please note that this text is full of
variant spellings of names and words sometimes inconsistently
applied.
