Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Metrical Dindshenchas, Vol. 3 In constructing the text of the poems I have attached rather less weight than in former volumes to the authority of the Book Of Leinster, and rather more to that of R and B (which are very closely related), especially when they are supported by H and S3. The Book of Lecan, the Book of Ui Maine, and the Stowe manuscript D H 2 are very untrustworthy guides in doubtful places. In orthography I have as a rule tried to approximate to the general practice of the Book of Leinster; but no uniform standard can be fixed, especially as the spelling is constantly varied in order to mark the rhymes.
