'An Irish Grammer, composed by the reverend father Cornelius Flagherty, Lector to the Irish College in Rome ... in the year ... 1653.' But the volume contains in reality 1. (fol. 3) 'Brief and plain rules for the reading [i.e. pronunciation] of the Irish language', and 2. (fol. 23) an Irish-Irish vocabulary. This appears to be a copy of the original.
