Subject Index of the Calendar of Ormond Deeds

Subject Index of the Calendar of Ormond Deeds

Niall C.E.J. O’Brien

This subject index of the six volumes of the Calendar of Ormond Deeds as edited by Edmund Curtis and published by the Irish Manuscripts Commission between 1932 and 1943 is not exclusive but is an index of subjects observed while studying the volumes over the years. Additional subjects can be added to this index. All six volumes were published with and index of people and places but the study of medieval history sometimes demands the investigation of subjects like castles, mills, churches, gardens, orchards, etc., and this index will hopefully help medieval historians to dig deeper and gain a better understanding of medieval life.

All numbers in this index refer to document numbers with some references to page numbers. The index to the first volume of the Ormond Deeds had numbers that referred to document numbers while in the other five volumes the indexes referred to page numbers.
