The Red Book of Ossory is a medieval manuscript produced in Kilkenny, Ireland, and kept in St Canice's Cathedral. The manuscript contains a number of texts in Latin and in Anglo-Norman. The sixth gathering of the MS contains the Proverbes de bon enseignement by Nicholas Bozon.[1] The Latin religious lyrics in the manuscript were intended to replace more secular songs in the vernacular, and were composed by Richard de Ledrede, Bishop of Ossory.[2]
