And here is what wiki tells me ...

The original Old Irish text, "Rop tú mo Baile", is often attributed to Saint Dallán Forgaill in the 6th century.[4] However, scholars believe it was written later than that. Some date it to the 8th century;[5] others put it as late as the 10th or 11th century.[6] A 14th-century manuscript attributed to Adhamh Ó Cianáin contains a handwritten copy of the poem in Middle Irish, and is held at the National Library of Ireland.[7] A second manuscript is at the Royal Irish Academy, dating from about the 10th or 11th century.

PS, in fact there are four OT names, apart from Miriam, which are kind of near synonyms to Mary. Abby = Abigail is one of them. The full list is: Jael, Ruth, Abigail and Judith. Jael and Judith because they killed men who by tyranny and fighting against God's people were images of Satan, whom Mary defeated. Ruth because she married an old man, and is ancestor of Christ. Abigail because she prevented King David of killing an Israelite./HGL

PPS, in case someone misunderstood the title, I love it even more now I know it is a Catholic lorica./HGL
