Leabhar Clainne Suibhne

Leabhar Clainne Suibhne ("The Book of Clan Sweeney") is the title of a 16th century Donegal manuscript written in Irish. While there is a substantial amount of religious material, it is principally interesting for containing a historical tract concerning the Clan Suibhne. It is now held in the library of the Royal Irish Academy as MS No. 475.
