Irish
Archives
|
The
forthcoming volume of Irish Archives has as its main theme the momentous events of 1607
and their profound consequences for Irish history and archives,
namely: the Flight of the Earls and the
foundation of St Anthony’s College/the Irish College in Louvain from
where the Franciscan scholar Mícheál Ó Cléirigh, returned to
Donegal and together with monastic colleagues, compiled the Annals
of the Four Masters between the years 1632 and 1636. Content will include articles and reviews on topics ranging from the Historical
Manuscripts Commission and the Franciscan manuscripts to ‘Writing
Irish History: the Four Masters and their World’, an exhibition
opening in the Long Room of Trinity College Library in October and the
music symposium, Musical
Journeys with the Flight of the Earls held in the
DIT Conservatory of Music and Drama last February.
The
tercentenary commemorations coincide with the celebration of the 50th
anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome and we are deeply
grateful to the generosity of the European
Parliament Information Office in Ireland in whose Molesworth Street
premises the journal will be launched by MEP Seán Ó Neachtain on
Friday 12 October next. All ISA members are welcome to attend the event and will
receive their invitations in the coming weeks.
To discuss contributions, please contact the
editor, Elizabeth McEvoy.
