Palaeographical description:
Contents:
Description includes two lengthy narratives of the Fenian tradition, Cath Finntrága and Acallam na Senórach

Although coverage is progressive rather than comprehensive, *selgā aims to serve as a common framework that allows for overviews of ‘texts’ (in the broadest possible sense) as they occur in manuscript sources. There are two main ways in which such information can be obtained:

> Tables of contents

Progress in this area is being made piecemeal. Full and partial tables of contents are available for a small number of manuscripts.

> Semantic queries for texts

Where entries on texts are annotated with information about particular manuscript witnesses, these manuscripts can be queried for the texts that are linked to them.
