Dear all,
Thank you so much for the generous response to my query about the
works I could not identify from my library catalogue. It was truly a case
of 'cast your bread upon the waters and it shall come back to
you...buttered!' The catalogue is from the franciscan friary in Youghal,
Co. Cork and was compiled at various stages between 1491 and 1523. There
are about 152 books in the collection making it the largest of any of the
collections to survive from the period in Ireland. Unfortunately none of
the books
have survived. There are a number which I have come across which could be
from the library but they do not have shelf marks or book marks and so
I cannot identify them with certainty.
I am using the text to illustrate the intellectual and pastoral
role of the friars in late medieval Ireland for a PhD thesis I am doing
for University College, Galway, (National university of Ireland) but I
hope to publish the catalogue, along with two others as soon as I
finish the doctorate.
Again, many thanks,
Colman O'Clabaigh, osb.
