This manuscript is housed at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, and its catalogue designation is TCD 592 (T). It was published face a face with the other medieval manuscript of the same title (Rawlinson B 490) by the EETS with marginal glosses in 1898. This is the first time it is presented with full critical apparatus, however. / It is likely that T is a late fifteenth century copy of an early fifteenth century translation which was probably done by James Yonge, a Dublin notary working for James Butler, the fourth earl of Ormond. This conclusion was reached mainly because the two surviving medieval manuscripts of this work are both paired by their respective scribes with Yonge's established version of Secreta Secretorum. / Besides an apparatus criticus and textual linguistic and explanatory notes, there is an introduction describing the date, origin, authorship, and historical background of the piece with a chapter discussing Giraldus Cambrensis, author of Expugnatio Hibernica upon which T is based, and his interest in the prophetic material of Merlin Silvester. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 54-03, Section: A, page: 0927. / Major Professor: Eugene J.
