'' Edited and published by William M. Hennessy in 1866, it is accorded to be one of the more valuable Irish annals by virtue of its computistical data which were frequently distorted in other such compilations.
''[[Gilla Críst Ua Máel Eóin]] has been associated with the text as its compiler,<ref>[[George Thomas Stokes|Stokes, George Thomas]]: ''Ireland and the Anglo-Norman Church. A History of Ireland and Irish Christianity from the Anglo-Norman Conquest to the Dawn of the Protestant Reformation'' (1889), p 360: "...The ''Chronicon Scotorum'' was originally compiled about the year 1150 by Christian Malone, Abbot of Clonmacnis,..."</ref> but if so, it was continued at some point after his death. His actual role in relation to the Chronicon is uncertain.
