Scope and content
The honorary Doctor of Literature degree was awarded to Mary Anne Hutton by the National University of Ireland on 26 October 1933. It is believed to have been awarded in recognition for her contribution to Irish scholarship through her translation of the Tain Bo Cuailgne (The Tain). The degree is held in its original leather scroll case and was transferred to the Archives with similar scroll cases containing greetings on the installation of the first Chancellor. The scroll case also contains a single-page highly-decorated manuscript of unknown origin, which includes the Paternoster, Ave Maria and Gloria Patri.
