Cli D in Ireland
Author:
Westley Follett
Published:
2006
Medium: Book
Publisher:
Boydell & Brewer Ltd
The Cli D [`clients of God'], sometimes referred to as the Culdees, comprise the group of monks who first appeared in Ireland in the eighth century in association with St Mel Ruain of Tallaght. Although influential and important in the development of the monastic tradition in Ireland, they have been neglected in general histories. This book offers an investigation into the movement. Proceeding from an examination of ascetic practice and theory in early medieval Ireland, followed by a fresh look at the evidence most often cited in support of the prevailing theory of Cli D identity, the author challenges the orthodox opinion that they were an order or movement intent uponmonastic reform at a time of declining religious discipline. At the heart of the book is a manuscript-centred critical evaluation of the large corpus of putative Cli D texts, offered as a means for establishing a more comprehensive assessment of who and what Cli D were. Dr Follett argues that they are properly understood as the self-identified members of the personal retinue of God, in whose service they distinguished themselves from other monks and monastic communities in their personal devotion, pastoral care, Sunday observance, and other matters. A catalogue of Cli D texts with manuscript references is provided in an appendix.

Records of Convocation XVI: Ireland, 1101-1690
Author:
Gerald Bray
Published:
2006
Medium: Book
Publisher:
Boydell & Brewer Ltd
The convocation records of the Churches of England and Ireland are the principal source of our information about the administration of those churches from middle ages until modern times. They contain the minutes of clergy synods,the legislation passed by them, tax assessments imposed by the king on the clergy, and accounts of the great debates about religious reformation; they also include records of heresy trials in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries,many of them connected with the spread of Lollardy. However, they have never before been edited or published in full, and their publication as a complete set of documents provides a valuable resource for scholarship. This volume contains the texts of and evidence for all the Irish reforming synods from the twelfth century onwards, collated with parliamentary legislation from the same period. The peculiar nature of the Irish convocation as it developed from the time of Edward I onwards is charted in detail, and supplemented by what is known of contemporary provincial and diocesan synods. Much previously unpublished material, taken from the Armagh registers, from the survivingacts of the seventeenth century convocations and from a number of other scattered sources, is also made available.

Records of Convocation XVIII: Ireland, 1690-1869, Part 2
Author:

The convocation records of the Churches of England and Ireland are the principal source of our information about the administration of those churches from middle ages until modern times. They contain the minutes of clergy synods,the legislation passed by them, tax assessments imposed by the king on the clergy, and accounts of the great debates about religious reformation; they also include records of heresy trials in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries,many of them connected with the spread of Lollardy. However, they have never before been edited or published in full, and their publication as a complete set of documents provides a valuable resource for scholarship. This volume contains the [incomplete] acts of the lower house of convocation in the reign of Queen Anne, as well as all the material dealing with the institution's survival after 1713. Of particular interest are the correspondence surrounding the act of union in 1800 and the political manoeuverings leading up to disestablishment in the 1860s. The volume also contains extensive appendixes, including the Nova taxatio of Pope Nicholas IV for Ireland, the Valor ecclesiasticus of Henry VIII and the surviving evidence of Irish clerical taxation from the middle ages to the late seventeenth century.

There is also a complete concordance to David Wilkins' Concilia Magnae Britanniae et Hiberniae, much of which has now been replaced by this collection of records.
