Cín Dromma Snechtai
Cín Dromma Snechtai or Lebor Dromma Snechtai ("book of Druimm Snechta"; Modern Irish: Leabhar Dhroim Sneachta, IPA: [ˈl̠ʲəuɾˠ ɣɾˠiːmʲ ˈʃnʲaxt̪ˠə]) is a now lost early Irish manuscript, thought to have been written in the 8th century AD. == Name == Old Irish cín, derived from the Latin quinio "five", was a small book made of five folded vellum leaves; lebor, modern Irish leabhar, is the standard word for a book. It is "named from the place of its origin or preservation, namely Druim(m) Snechta (Drumsnat, County Monaghan), where a monastery had been founded in the sixth century." The majority consensus of scholars is that the original manuscript was compiled at Bangor Abbey, County Down, the mother house of Druim Snechta monastery.
