Catholic Reformation in Ireland : the mission of Rinuccini, 1645-1649

Bok av Tadhg Ó hAnnracháin
The evolution of the Counter-Reformation church in Ireland is central to Irish history. The papal nuncio GianBattista Rinuccini was at the heart of the turbulent events of the 1640s, a decade which formed a prologue to the Cromwellian conquest. This book offers a scholarly reappraisal of the man and his role in shaping the religion and history of Ireland.
