A New Year gives us the opportunity to grapple with two things which, by and large, are not the easiest of soul-mates. The two things to which I refer are realism and COPY DEADLIINE idealism.

[email protected] Page 2 January 8, 2021 The new series, designed by Dublin’s Vermillion Design company, pays homage to the Church of Ireland’s break from the Church of England and the State when it was officially disestablished on January 1, 1871. The act, along with the introduction of Home Rule and the Land Act under then British Prime Minister William Gladstone was among his efforts to deal with the so-called ‘Irish question’ while removing the status of a State church “that had commanded the allegiance of only a minority of the population,” according to An Post. Commemorative postage The Most Revd Dr Michael Jackson, Archbishop of Dublin and Bishop of Glendalough, gave his blessing to the new series. He said: "Disestablishment has enabled the Church of Ireland to be free to shape its own future.

  • The Meanderthalltale of the Scandinavian Kingdom of Dublin in Joyce’S Notetaking
    GENETIC JOYCE STUDIES – Issue 16 (Spring 2016) The meanderthalltale of the Scandinavian Kingdom of Dublin in Joyce’s notetaking Viviana Mirela Braslasu and Robbert-Jan Henkes The Scandinavian Kingdom of Dublin, written as a meandering series of footnotes and side notes and appendixes, reminiscent of the Night Lessons chapter in Finnegans Wake, looms large in Joyce’s 1930 notebook VI.B.29. The merchant-historian Charles Haliday published his account of Dublin as a Viking seaport in 1881 (republished 1884, M. H. Gill & Son, 50 Upper Sackville Street, Dublin), but it’s not only about the era of the ninth century till 1014, when the Vikings after the battle of Clontarf were sent back to sea. We learn immediately that the pyramids in Egypt were called, in the middle ages, ‘the seven granaries of S. Joseph’ and almost one-third of the book is taken up by equally heavily footnoted appendixes, about the ancient name of Dublin. Haliday’s reveling in details and his unique inability to stick to the story is one of the things that must have appealed to Joyce in the book. In VI.B.29, Joyce read only up to page 173, but that was, as Vincent Deane mentions in his introduction, because Joyce had already read the book in the Spring of 1925 and made notes in VI.B.7. 1 A random double page of The Scandinavian Kingdom of Dublin It now turns out that Joyce not only made notes in VI.B.7, but also in the next notebook, the non- extant VI.D.2 of April-May 1925, and (on rereading a passage) in Notebook VI.B.8 of July- September of that year – with in Notebook VI.B.9 of June-July 1925 perhaps an intermediate insight.

  • Archbishop Diarmuid Martin First in Series of Five Distinguished Guests to Be Interviewed
    PRESS RELEASE Monday, 19th September National Library launches Inspiration Proclamation public interview series -Archbishop Diarmuid Martin first in series of five distinguished guests to be interviewed- The National Library of Ireland (NLI) has today (19.09.16) announced a series of public interviews ‘Inspiration Proclamation’ with historian and broadcaster Dr John Bowman. The series will consider the relevance of the 1916 Proclamation and five prominent figures from Irish life will share their unique insights and thoughts during their own hour-long public interview. The series commences this week with the Archbishop of Dublin, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin and continues through October and November with: historian Professor Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh; novelist, dramatist and screenwriter, Roddy Doyle; novelist, memoirist, playwright, poet and short story writer, Edna O’Brien; and professor of Irish studies at St Mary’s University in London and former president of Ireland, Dr Mary McAleese. Speaking today, Dr Sandra Collins, Director of the NLI said: “As 2016 draws to a close, it is time to reflect on the 1916 Proclamation - is it seen now as an inspirational text or as a historical document? This series of public interviews in the National Library of Ireland, with a diverse and distinguished list of speakers in discussion with Dr John Bowman, will be an important part of that reflection. The series aims to engage, inspire and provoke discussion. The events are free and open to the public but we expect great interest and booking is essential. The National Library’s year-long programme of events and exhibitions to commemorate 1916 has attracted strong public interest with more than 100,000 visitors to date.” Dr John Bowman, historian and broadcaster added: “In 1916, the National Library was an intellectual and social hub at the heart of Ireland and the Inspiration Proclamation series of public interviews is one example of how the Library continues to honour this tradition.

PHILIP DE LAS CASAS was born in the city of Mexico. Brought up piously, Philip at first showed little care for the pious teaching of his parents, but at last resolved to enter the Reformed Franciscan Convent of Santa Barbara at Pueblo. He was not yet weaned from the world and soon left the novitiate. Grieved at the inconstancy of his son, de las Casas sent him to the Philippine Islands on a business errand. In vain did Philip seek to satisfy his heart with pleasure. He could not but feel that God called him to a religious life. Gaining courage by prayer, he entered the Franciscan Convent of Our Lady of the Angels at Manila, and persevered, taking his vows in 1594. The richest cargo that he could have sent to Mexico would not have gratified his pious father as much as the tidings that Philip was a professed friar.
