the second manuscript opens with a series of middle irish religious poems entitled "saltair na rann" ("the psalter of the verses"), followed by a recension of the irish "sex aetates mundi" ("the six ages of the world") and the poem "amra coluimb chille" ("song for columba"). the manuscript contains many leinster narratives belonging to the cycles of the kings, some of which are grouped in a section which is headed "scélshenchas laigen", beginning with "orgain denna ríg". among these is "tairired na n'déssi", the best preserved copy of the "a" version of the work known as "the expulsion of the déisi". another secular group of leinster texts, but written in verse, is the selection of poems collectively referred to as the "laídshenchas laigen". other verse texts include the wisdom poems "immacallam in dá thuarad" ("the colloquy of the two sages") and "gúbretha caratniad" ("the judgments of caratnia"). the manuscript is also one of two pre-norman sources for irish genealogical texts, the other being the book of leinster. these genealogies, which come at the end in a sizeable section of some 30 folios, are mainly associated with leinster, but others are integrated. importantly, some material of early irish law is preserved, such as the tract "cóic conara fugill" ("the five paths of judgment"). for a select but more detailed list of the contents of the manuscript, expand the following table:
