|ShortDescription=The prose history of Ireland completed by Geoffrey Keating (Seathrún Céitinn) in ''c''. 1634. Comprising an introduction, two books and appendices, it narrates the history of the island from the time of Creation to the Norman conquest in the 12th century. As set out by the vindicatory introduction (''an díonbhrollach''), the work was written in response to the cultural biases of Anglo-centric writers (e.g. William Camden and Edmund Spenser).<!--- It contains a vindicatory introduction (''an díonbhrollach'') consisting of 9 subdivisions (''ailt''), Book I (52 subdivisions), Book II (34 subdivisions) and a collection of appendices, mainly genealogies and synchronisms. --->
