Concise Oxford Companion to Irish Literature, The, January, 2000 by ROBERT WELCH

>Ó Dálaigh, Donnchadh Mór ( fl. 1220), poet. Donnchadh Mór was trained in bardic learning , but also in the subjects taught by the monastic schools [see monasticism ], not yet extinguished. He is chiefly noted as a religious poet, and, while more than 160 religious poems have been attributed to him (if somewhat dubiously), he has only one extant secular poem to his credit, a piece on the Uí Mhorna of east Ulster.
