"The Dean of Lismore's Book: A Selection of Ancient Gaelic Poetry by Maclauchlan et al." is a Scottish manuscript compiled in eastern Perthshire during the first half of the 16th century. Assembled primarily by James MacGregor, Dean of Lismore, this multilingual collection preserves ancient Gaelic poetry alongside works in Scots and Latin. The manuscript contains bardic verses from both Irish and Scottish traditions, patronized by the Campbells of Glen Orchy. Remarkably, it includes poetry by at least four women, featuring laments, courtly verse, and surprisingly explicit content that challenges medieval literary conventions.
