    The Threnodia Hiberno-Catholica (1659) and the Irish Franciscan

    THE THRENODIA HIBERNO- CATHOLICA (1659) AND THE IRISH FRANCISCAN COMMUNITY IN THE TYROL By Nienke Tjoelker This article focuses on Maurice Conry’s Threnodia Hiberno-Catholica (1659) and the Irish Franciscan community in the Tyrol. Conry's work is an example of many Latin works written by Irish exiled clergy on the Continent in the mid-seventeenth century. In this contribution, after outlining the authorial issues, a summary of the contents of the Threnodia is given and then placed in the context of the expatriate clerical Irish of the 1650s. The piece concludes with a section on contemporary reactions to itinerant Irish friars, mainly from within mendicant circles. The Threnodia Hiberno-Catholica, sive Planctus Universalis Totius Cleri et Populi Regni Hiberniae was published under the pseudonym of F. M. Mori- sonus, ordinis observantiae, S. Theologiae Lector, Praefatae Crudelitatis testis ocularis in Innsbruck, 1659. Although often mentioned by historians as an important source for our knowledge of the atrocities of Cromwell against the Irish in the 1650s, little research has been done into this work since Brendan Jennings published his edition of the work in 1947 with a short introduction.1 In this article, I will address the question of why this book was published in Innsbruck, and not in any of the more famous Irish centres on the conti- nent, such as Prague, Paris, or Louvain. The historical context of the Irish Franciscan community in the Tyrol (modern day Tirol in Austria, and Südti- rol and Trentino in Italy) seems to me a gap in the existing research on Irish exile communities on the continent.

    I. The Irish Franciscan college of St. Anthony at Louvain was granted a bull of foundation by Pope Paul V on 3 April 1607. This small house in what is now Leuven, Belgium, became one of the most intense centres of Irish engagement with Europe. Its history, both that of the friars who inhabited the college itself and that of the soldiers, diplomats and merchants who supported it, is also the story of Ireland’s decisive step into Europe. St. Anthony’s College owed both its foundation and location to Florence Conry a Franciscan friar and future archbishop of Tuam. Conry, a native of the townland of Figh part of the civil parish of Tibohine, barony of Frenchpark, Co. Roscommon, belonged to the learned family of the Uí Mhaoil Chonaire and had been trained in seanchas or traditional learning before leaving to study in Salamanca. He later entered the Franciscan order and, apart from a short return to Ireland as ‘confessor, adviser and favourite’ of Red Hugh O’Donnell just before the battle of Kinsale in 1601, spent his life in the Spanish dominions. The combination of Gaelic sensibility, Spanish courtiership, political astuteness and Latinate scholarship found in Conry helps explain the choice of Louvain as a novitiate-in-exile and house of studies for the Irish Franciscans. Founded in 1425, Louvain’s medieval university had developed into one of the intellectual powerhouses of Europe. Given its short distance from the border with the Protestant Netherlands the university had become one of the key centres of counter-reformation thought which, when combined with its proximity to the vast printing presses of Antwerp made it an ideal training ground for priests for the Irish mission.

Miss Charlotte Brooke's " Irish Poetry," a volume of translations of her own from the Irish, led the way in the year 1789, and was followed by Hardiman's " Irish Minstrelsy," in 183 1 , with metrical translations by Thomas Furlong, Henry Grattan Curran, and John D 'Alton. Both these volumes contained the Irish originals, as well as the translations from them, and both volumes were extremely valuable for their preservation of those originals, but suffered from the over ornate, and, indeed, often extremely artificial English verse into which they were translated.

Recognising the many methodologies that make up historical research, the series presents innovative and interdisciplinary work that is conceptual and interpretative, and expands and challenges the common understandings of the Irish past. It showcases new and exciting scholarship on subjects such as the history of gender, power, class, the body, landscape, memory and social and cultural change. It also reflects the diversity of Irish historical writing, since it includes titles that are empirically sophisticated together with conceptually driven synoptic studies. 1.

    Tuileagna Ó Maoil Chonaire and the Book of Pottlerath Pádraig Ó Macháin One of the Finest Literary Artefacts Associated With

    Tuileagna Ó Maoil Chonaire and the Book of Pottlerath Pádraig Ó Macháin One of the finest literary artefacts associated with Kilkenny is Leabhar na Rátha or the Book of Pottlerath. This fifteenth-century Gaelic manuscript, miscellaneous in contents, comprises sections written for Éamonn Buitilléar and his uncle, the White Earl, Séamus Buitilléar (†1452), the latter the subject of a study by Gearóidín de Buitléir published elsewhere in this volume. Unlike many another Gaelic manuscript, it was received into an institutional library at the relatively early date of 1636, when, as a spoil of conquest, it was donated to the University of Oxford by Archbishop William Laud, whose name it now bears in the Bodleian Library: Laud Miscellany 610.1 Of a number of scribes who worked on the manuscript, two identify themselves as Seaán Buidhe Ó Cléirigh and Giolla na Naomh Mac Aodhagáin, both members of renowned families of seanchaidhe. Later additions and re-inkings, dating from the time when the book was in the possession of the Earl of Desmond, are signed by members of another similarly famous family, Sioghraidh and Torna Ó Maoil Chonaire. Such was the prominence of the Í Mhaoil Chonaire in the late middle ages that many of the surviving manuscripts from that time bear traces of their influence. It is scarcely surprising, therefore, that a seventeenth- century representative of the family should show an interest in examining and recording the contents of this book during a visit to Oxford in 1673. Cataloguing of Gaelic manuscripts only began in earnest towards the close of the nineteenth century, but the first stirrings in this regard can be traced to the seventeenth century, generally prompted by the enthusiasm of Ascendancy antiquarians.2 It may be claimed that an early cataloguer was Tuileagna Ó Maoil Chonaire (alias Tully Conry), who read and described the Book of Pottlerath and other manuscripts at Oxford in August 1673.
