sir james ware himself referred to the second part as the "saltair na rann" by óengus céile dé, after the metrical religious work of this name beginning on the first folio (fo. 19): "oengus celide, author antiquus, qui in libro dicto psalter-narran" and elsewhere, "vulgo psalter narran appellatur" ("commonly called psalter narran"). ware’s contemporaries john colgan (d. 1658) and geoffrey keating (d. 1644) also appear to have used this name for the manuscript as a whole. keating refers to this title three times throughout his "foras feasa ar éirinn", citing it as his source for the poem beginning "uí néill uile ar cúl choluim" in book iii. complicating matters, this poem is not found in rawlinson b 502, though breatnach draws attention to the loss of folios and the trimming of pages which may account for the poem's absence.
