Described as the “best major work of parody” in the Irish language, Aislinge Meic Conglinne, is a Middle Irish tale of anonymous authorship, generally believed to have been written in the late 11th early 12th century.

The translation is taken from the vellum codex known as the ‘Leabhar Breac‘ or Speckled Book, compiled from various sources in the 14th century. The codex is now preserved in the Royal Irish Academy, and was published in facsimile in 1876.
