The Reception and Use of Flann Mainistrech and His Work in Medieval Gaelic Manuscript Culture

This is to certify that that this thesis has been composed by me and is entirely my own work. No part of this thesis has been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. I have published a specific case study of a text, covered primarily by Chapters 2 and 3, as ‘Flann Mainistrech's Götterdämmerung as a Junction within Lebor Gabála Érenn’, Quaestio Insularis, 13 (2012), 69–93. Where it becomes relevant, it is cited in the main body of the thesis as a secondary source. A re-print is also included (with the permission of the current editor of Quaestio Insularis) as Appendix 32
