Subject: RE: Innocent III Conference: news...news...
dear Brenda,
I was very interested in your note about the Innocent III event,
particularly your reference to an Irish communication. I am currently
looking at the way in which Innocent's De Contemptu mundi/De miseria
conditionis humanae circulated in late medieval Ireland, both in latin and
in a mid fifteenth century Irish translation. Did the irish contributor
make any reference to this?
Best wishes
Colman O'Clabaigh, osb
Dear Father Colman,
Gillian Murphy, formerly a student of Innocent III with me and now an MA student at University College London, hopes to go on to a doctorate on the Irish Benedictines in Germany. She examined what Innocent would have known about Irish monks in Ireland and on the Continent (even in Rome) and the provision of a triennial General Chapter for the monks of Regensburg etc following Lateran IV.
She didn't make any reference to De Miseria but your work sounds fascinating. Thank you.
