In 1577, at the age of 63, Adriaen Coenensz from Scheveningen, a Dutch fishing port, started his Vis booc. Over a period of three years he collected all kind of information about the sea, the coasts, and coastal waters, fishing grounds and marine animals: 410 pages written by an expert. Throughout his life he had earned his living from the sea, as fisherman, as wreck master of the county of Holland, and from 1574 as official fish auctioneer at Scheveningen. Coenensz made nearly every page into a miniature work of art by framing his texts and illustrations by borders, edges and cartouches painted in water colour. He must have realised the special value of his book, as appears from the minutes of the court sessions in Leiden from 1583. They contain a note indicating that Coenensz asked permission for his book and his collection of dried fish ‘to be shown on the coming free annual fair and the festival of the relief of the city [3 October], receiving from every person five cents and from those wanting to see the book twenty-five’. So looking at his book was five times as much as marvelling at his dried fish. Coenensz certainly cashed in on his knowledge. On the reverse of folium 11 he even promoted it: 'Whoever reads or studies it May spread the word to Another that he may see and hear'. One of the marvels of the sea that the inhabitants of Leiden could admire in the book was ‘The true Portrait and size of this whale that has been captured on the ij of July AD m.d.lxxvij’, painted in water colour over two pages. Coenensz had drawn this whale after an engraving that had appeared in the same year (1577). Drawing and caption record an event that would also be considered newsworthy in our own time: a whale cast ashore. The whale depicted here landed in shallow waters, the Scheldt near Doel above Antwerp, and attracted a lot of attention. A few years later Coenensz made a second book, based on this manuscript, the whale manuscript, which is now in Antwerp; a third, also with drawings of whales, is part of a collection in Cologne.

Title A name given to the resource Station Island Archaeological Survey Subject The topic of the resource Lough Derg--Station Island--Archaeological survey--Summary Description An account of the resource It is traditionally believed that a monastic settlement was founded on the nearby Saint’s Island (formerly St. Dabheog's Island) in the fifth century by St. Patrick who installed Dabheoc as the first abbot (see DG101-001001-/002-/003-/004-/005-/006-/008-). The primary concern of the monastery was to minister to the needs of the pilgrimages to the ‘cave’, known as St. Patrick's Purgatory, on Station Island. Some sources suggest that the original cave had been located on Saint's Island and that the pilgrimage was later transferred to its present location (Leslie 1961, 9-10). The Lough Derg pilgrimage was famous throughout Europe in the middle ages and a large literature grew up around it (Curtayne 1976; Harbison 1991). Several unsuccessful attempts were made to quash the pilgrimage and include legislation, papal prohibitions, adverse propaganda and the destruction of physical structures. In 1494 a Dutch Augustinian wrote to Pope Alexander V pronouncing the site 'a sham'. The Pope subsequently ordered its closure (Harbison 1991,59). In 1497 the cave was supposedly demolished, as a 'fictitious thing', on St. Patrick's Day ... by authority of Pope Alexander VI (MacRitchie 1901, 85). However, the Annals of Ulster recorded for the year 1497 that the 'demolished' purgatory was not the real one prompting the suggestion that the Augustinian canons closed down a 'false' cave, thus conveniently allowing the pilgrimage to the original to continue (Harbison 1991, 59). In 1632 the Protestant authorities decreed that all buildings on both Station Island and Saint's Island should be demolished and the masonry thrown into the lake because of the 'extremely abusive and superstitious' nature of the pilgrimage: this task was successfully executed by the Anglican Bishop of Clogher (Pinkerton 1857, 67-9). Despite the obliteration the pilgrimage survived and even flourished (Campbell 1789, 151), except for the subterranean purgatory element. This was replaced by an aboveground building, as indicated on the plan of the island published in 1666 (Carve 1666) and mentioned in subsequent written accounts. The pilgrimage was again closed down in the 1780s on the pretext of dangers that might befall pilgrims as a result of overcrowding (Harbison 1991, 60). Once more these measures foiled and the pilgrimage to St. Patrick's Purgatory continues to thrive into the 21st century. The structure named ‘Caverna Purgatory’ on Carve’s 1666 map no longer exists as the entire island has been subject to continuous development and building activities over the past two centuries. The location indicated here can only be considered as indicative of its former presence on the island. Even the existing so-called penal beds cannot be considered of any great antiquity. Miscellaneous ecclesiastical remains on the island include a cross-shaft (DG101-004002-), the broken head of a cross (DG101-004003-) and a small font (DG101-004001-). (Carve 1666; Campbell 1789; Curtayne 1976; Lacey et al. 1983, no. 1592, pp. 280-2; Picard and de Pontfarcy 1985; Dowd 2015, 217-20).

This chart of Europe was drawn by Grazioso Benincasa at Ancona in 1470. It illustrates the detailed complexity of late portolan charts. Constantinople is in the centre, Crete at the foot and the intervening archipelago practically calls out for the fuller treatment provided by contemporary books of islands. The use of red to distinguish the more important place-names is a common feature on portolan charts. Authorship of this portolan is confirmed by the inscription at the neck: Gratiosus Benincasa Anconitanus Composuit Ancone anno domini mcccclxx. Die viii Octubrie. Benincasa was one of the most active 15th century Italian chart makers. The Bay of Cardigan is not shown on this map, the Welsh coast and that of northern England is a smooth curve, dating this chart to pre 1550. Scotland is an island, the knot tying England and Scotland is typical of Benincasa, who reproduced the standard nautical chart with this new feature. Ireland is shown with the fabled land mark, the Purgatory of St Patrick, an inland loch with many islands. The text records that there are 368 islands. A dark red circle to the left of Ireland is marked “Brazill”, known to exist due to classical legend, the location and form however are obviously as yet unknown. [Anthilia] is marked under the skin of the neck. This chart is interesting in that it shows the expansion of Portuguese knowledge of the coast of Africa. Spain and Portugal were hunting for the New World. The east coast of England is the most accurate area of Britain depicted on this chart. Crosses around the coast indicate rocks, a peril to ships. London is marked in red and the Thames is indicated.

There would be an incongruity in the latter, — a want of character. It would be as if an artist, painting this landscape, thought fit to decorate these islands with elms or beeches. You would see at once, from the character of the scenery, that the thing could not be, — it would be out of character. In nine cases out of ten, the legend is simply an attempt made by an unlettered, but imaginative people, to account for natural appearances by supernatural agency ; therefore the natural appearances must exist.' 'I understand you,' said the Captain : 'you mean, for instance, that when the charitable monk is said to have crossed the Erne on a supernatural pathway, there must be a pathway of some sort to account for the legend.' 'Exactly so,' said the Parson. 'We, with our knowledge, can account for that pathway, by the very natural solution, that the debris washed down by the river in its furious passage from Belleek to Clogh-or must settle as soon as they have cleared the gorge, and are carried into stiller water ; and wherever they do settle there will be a ford. But, in earlier times, men were ignorant of the doctrines of specific gravity, and had recourse to the supernatural ; hence the Ballagh na Monach.' 'Or again, the other day, when the weather fell so calm at Lough Melvin, the Scholar, a stranger to the place, was struck at once with the resemblance of that reef of rocks to a ruined bridge. Had he seen the moon shining along it, the resemblance would have been stronger. Hence the legend. Had there been no such resemblance, there would have been no such legend : had that resemblance existed in this lake, the legend would have been of a darker and gloomier character.'"

Text Any textual data included in the document "'This lake has its legends, I suppose?' said the Captain. 'Of course it has,' said the Parson ; 'and of course they take their tone from its scenery. I will tell you one that is peculiarly characteristic ; it is called "the March of the Dead Maguires." The lake is, as you see, of a rounder form than most lakes ; and whether it is from that cause, or whether there is anything peculiar in the shape of the hills that surround it, I do not know, but in certain winds there is a heavy roller of a wave that runs along its shores, and looks as if it were sweeping round and round the lake, setting all the reeds and bulrushes in motion, and dragging, as it were, the great beds of lake-weed after it. 'Now the legend is, that the great Maguire, of whom I told you last night, when he saw his island sunk, took it as a sign of Heaven's displeasure ; and giving up all thoughts of resistance, dispersed his clan, and retired with a few faithful followers to Lough Derg. His intention was to pass the remainder of his life in the religious seclusion of the Purgatory ; but whether he had been rejected by the church, or whether he had committed any particular crime, or whether a peculiar mode of purgation had been prescribed to him, I do not know, but, as he crossed the lake, a furious tempest arose, and he and his people were overwhelmed in the dark waters. And it is said that, from that time to this, whenever any misfortune threatens Ireland, the dead Maguire winds his ghostly bugle, and summons to his train not only those of his own clan who fell in the wars or perished afterwards in the horrible massacres of Cromwell, but also all those of his name who have died in arms against the Sassenagh from time immemorial ; and the whole train of spirits, thousands upon thousands, each in the dress and arms of its own century, march round and round the lake under its waters, heaping up the waves before them, and leaving traces of their past age in the broad stains of blood among the trampled weeds.'"

Text Any textual data included in the document "I have argued with a Dr of Salamanca about Oral tradition; he produced logic and ingenious subtlety; I produced facts, that had fallen under my own eye; he adduced the accuracy of the Antediluvian pedigrees and other traditions; I produced the inaccuracy of what Oral tradition has preserved in Donegal in 1835, a more tangible epoch (era). He urged the perfection of the human memory; I urged the imperfection of my own, and the acknowledged treachery of those men of genius and sound learning, and quoted the vulgar and common place proverb 'Vox audita perit, litera scripta manet.' He argued from the immutability of the tradition of the Church; I from the forgeries of the middle ages and strikingly from these about Lough Derg in particular; from the fact that no six persons will (or can) separately relate the same story in the same words, order, or detail, and from the difficulty with which a case of open robbery can be proved to the satisfaction of men of wisdom and acquaintance with the laws of nature and Society.

Text Any textual data included in the document "Finn Mac Cooil and his heroes were one day walking on the strand of this Lough, and Fin's notice was attracted by a large bone out of which a white little maggot was peeping, which when he observed, he put his thumb of knowledge in his mouth and squeezed it, and then stood for a short time over the bone in an attitude of surprise. Conan, the only coward in his service, came up to him and asked why he looked so seriously at the bone of an old horse. Fin replied, 'If this bone were thrown into the lake, that little maggot would grow the size of a monster and do much injury.' Conan, the Stolid took up the bone in his hand and addressing the little maggot said: 'Me-thinks thou hast not got the germs of a big beast, pity that thou shouldest not get enough to drink' with this, he flings the bone up into the air with all his might, and it fell almost in the middle of the Lough, which was then styled Lough Finn from the brightness of its waters. Cursed fool said Fin to Conan thou shalt yet pay dearly for that rash deed. The Devil may care said Conan. With that they passed away from the mountains in pursuit of Red Deer. In 12 months after they passed by the margin of the same Lough, an lo! they beheld with astonishment a multiform monster with three humps on its back resembling three round hills (cors), rising above the water making towards them with amazing rapidity and roaring most hideously. The alarmed Fingalians took flight leaving Conan a fearful distance behind. He was overtaken by the monaster and swallowed, arms and all! Conan felt the scorching heat of his stomach, and feeling that it was a very gloomy lodging he bethought him of a plan by which, if he could not effect his escape, he might at least be revenged of the Monster to whose strength he contributed so much. He took his meadog or side knife and cut thro' the monster's stomach and side which caused him to make for the shore again and vomit the soldier out. In passing through the lake he bled so profusely that it seemed all blood, and it continued so for a long time, which induced Fin to change the name of Loch Finn to Loch Derg."
