  • Calendar of Seventeenth- and Eighteenth- Century Documents at the Archives of the Irish College, Rome2 (With Index)
    Vera Orschel with John J. Hanly1 Calendar of seventeenth- and eighteenth- century documents at the archives of the Irish College, Rome2 (with index) General introduction This is a calendar of documents concerning the seventeenth- and eighteenth- century administrations of the Irish College in Rome, contained in a series of 27 bound and unbound volumes, and in some folders with loose material at the College archives. Of the original 28 volumes, 26 remain there, one is lost, and another was only recently located at the Archives of the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples (hereafter Propaganda Fide). This introduction is followed by a list of the volumes, a calendar of the volumes and loose leaves and two appendices, the fi rst containing material already printed in Spicilegium Ossoriense and the second containing docu- ments with complementary content at the archives of Propaganda Fide. The documents under examination date more precisely to the period 1628–1798, that is the period from the foundation of the College until its closure by the French Republic of Rome.3 Although they are sometimes referred to as ‘the Jesuit documents’, the Jesuit administration of the Irish College does not fully coincide with these years: Luke Wadding, head of the Irish Franciscan community in Rome (founded 1625) and co-founder of this (diocesan) College, remained its administrator until College man- agement passed to the Society of Jesus, in execution of a clause in the will of the College’s other founder and fi nancial patron, Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi, who died in 1632.4 His will was contested by the Franciscans but in 1635 the court of the Sacra Rota found in favour of the Jesuits, who then managed College affairs until 1772.

Four different rankings had given Cambridge the top position. Times Higher Education puts us sixth (incomprehensibly, after Oxford). While all league tables are suspect, we can surely trust the consistency of Cambridge’s position in the world’s top ten. Still more trust can be put in the Tompkins table of Tripos rankings that have placed Trinity top in 2011, since Tripos marks are measurable in a way that ‘quality and satisfaction’ can never be.

  • Allan Siddall
    ALLAN SIDDALL A CRICKETER IN THE EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE 1879 - 1904 R. S. Richardson PREFACE Family stories, passed down from one generation to the next, are fascinating to most of us. We want to believe them, but can we be sure of their authenticity? Has the story become distorted over the years? Is there any evidence? If only we could go back in time and see for ourselves. We have a number of family stories. Some are humorous, some sad. There are tales of opportunities missed, of success and accounts of hard times. Amongst the stories there are those of skill and prowess in sport, and two of these stories have always intrigued me. Both concern the legendary cricketing successes of Great-Grandmother‟s brother, Allan Siddall. My Grandfather Arthur Richardson had named his youngest son Allan Siddall Richardson. Why? Grandad said that no finer man had lived than Allan, and what a great cricketer he had been! This booklet is an attempt to discover if there is some truth behind the Allan Siddall stories. THE SIDDALL STORIES The first story reveals that Allan had been a farmer at Barmby Moor in the East Riding of Yorkshire. In the summer months he had risen early to work the land, and then he had spent the afternoons playing cricket. As a young man he had earned money as a practice bowler for Lord Hawke, the famous Yorkshire County Cricket Club captain. When his Lordship wanted batting practice he summoned Allan to bowl against him. Lord Hawke put up a single stump whilst he batted and rewarded him with half a crown (25p in today‟s money) whenever Allan struck the stump.
