For this he received his Ph.D. from University College Galway in 1985; the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies at the University of Toronto published Ó Cróinín's work on that seventh-century Hiberno-Latin computistical tract which he had discovered.[2] Alongside Daniel McCarthy, Ó Cróinín published "The 'Lost' Irish 84-Year Easter Table Rediscovered" in the journal Peritia in the late 1980s, explaining the implications of his discovery for our understanding of the period.[4] Ó Cróinín succeeded Donnchadh Ó Corráin as editor of Peritia at some point in the mid-2010s.[5] Publications[edit] A list of Ó Cróinín's books follows: The Irish Sex Aetates Mundi, Dublin (1982) Cummian's letter 'De controversia Paschali' together with a related Irish compustical tract 'De rationae conputanti', edited with Maura Walsh (Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies; Studies and texts, lxxxvi), Toronto (1988) An Cúigiú Díochlaonadh, Indreabhan, Connamara (1994) Early Medieval Ireland, 400–1200, London and New York (1995)[6] The Songs of Elizabeth Cronin, Irish Traditional Singer, Dublin (2000) Early Irish History and Chronology, Dublin (2003) A New History of Ireland, volume one, Dublin (2006) Awards and honours[edit] Ó Cróinín was awarded the Parnell Fellowship in Irish Studies at the University of Cambridge for the year 2017-18.[7] Personal life[edit] He is a grandson of Elizabeth Cronin, an Irish traditional singer.[8][9] References[edit] ^ "Ó Cróinín (Dáibhí Iarla)".
