Unnecessary mysteries

"formerly known as the Book of Noughaval": Where and what is Noughaval? Why was it called so? Why changed?
"genealogy": Whose genealogy?
"Áed Ua Crimthainn": who's that? a concise paragraph summarising the article Áed Ua Crimthainn would tell the reader.
"annals recorded in the manuscript": Annals of Terryglass, perhaps?
"A note in the manuscript suggests as many as 45 leaves have been lost": what does the note say?
"A diplomatic edition was published by the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies in six volumes over a period of 29 years:" What's a "diplomatic edition"? 29 years? Can the reader have a bibliographic footnote?--Wetman 14:56, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

I believe the annals are in fact a poem, Do Flaithesaib Hérend Iar Creitim. Whitley Stokes called it "annals from the Book of Leinster". Diplomatic edition is a redirect to a relevant article. The book has a lot of genealogies in it. Easy enough to someone to add something on Áed. No idea on the other name or the missing pages though.

The wiki article Kevin of Glendalough says this was written about 1131; the article on the book says "second half of the 12th century". Sarah777 (talk) 18:38, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
