Tá 9 lámhscríbhinn Ghaeilge i gcartlann na nÍosánach in 35 Sr. Líosan, íochtarach, Baile Átha Cliath. Ní fios go cruinn conas a tharla ansin iad. Bhí IL 6 agus 7 i seilbh an Athar Eoin Mac Fhir Léinn, S.J., de réir dealraimh. Bhí IL 5 i seilbh an Athar Éamann Ó hÓgáin, S J. Tá stampa ar IL 2 agus 9 a chuireann in iúl go rabhadar araon tamall i Meiriceá. Deir an tAthair Aubrey Gwynn, S.J., go bhfuair sé féin IL 1 sa Leabharlann sa teach agus gur thaispeáin sé don Athair Mac Fhir Léinn í agus gur fhéach seisean chuige gur cheangail Colm Ó Lochlainn í i gComhartha na dTrí gCoinneal. Ceanglaíodh IL 8 ansiúd leis. Bhí sí seo tráth i seilbh Sheáin Uí Chatháin i nDubhghlas i gCo. Chorcaí, agus, níos déanaí, i seilbh an Athar Patrick Kenyon. Seachas an méid sin níl le rá ach gur bhailigh an chuallacht léannta seo na lsí seo de réir a chéile agus gur thugadar togha na haire dóibh.
