'From the Russell Library…' (2009)

Woods, Penny

'From the Russell Library…' (2009)

Woods, Penny

Abstract:

In 1808 the following story about a Maynooth student appeared in Watty Cox’s 'Irish Magazine and monthly asylum for neglected biography': A Hungarian, who translated some of Ovid's elegies into Greek verse, travelled through these countries in 1802. He had been in both the English universities, in Edinburgh, and at the College in Dublin [TCD]; at each of which places he conversed with the cleverest men in the Greek and Roman tongues. After spending some time in Dublin College, curiosity led him to Maynooth. It was during the summer recess, and most of the professors were from home. He met a lad about twenty years of age, with whom he entered into conversation. He asked several questions concerning the internal economy of the college; and, among the rest, if there was a professor of Greek on the establishment. The young lad, indignant at the affront offered his Alma Mater, spoke to him in that language with the greatest fluency. The Hungarian was struck with wonder, a...

Finding Furlong: insights into the library of a nineteenth century theologian (2015)

O'Dwyer, Mick

Abstract:

The Russell Library at Maynooth University is home to many unique treasures. In amongst cuneiform tablets from the Babylonian period, incunabula from 1470 onwards, and medieval manuscripts, resides a lesser known collection of significant importance – the Furlong Collection. Comprised of the personal library of the former Bishop of Ferns, Thomas Furlong (1802-75), this collection is a unique treasure of the Russell Library.

Hyperspectral image analysis for questioned historical documents. (2010)

Hyperspectral image analysis for questioned historical documents. (2010)

Shiel, Patrick

Abstract:

This thesis describes the application of spectroscopy and hyperspectral image processing to examine historical manuscripts and text. Major activities in palaeographic and manuscript studies include the recovery of illegible or deleted text, the minute analyses of scribal hands, the identification of inks and the segmentation and dating of text. This thesis describes how Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI), applied in a novel manner, can be used to perform quality text recovery, segmentation and dating of historical documents. The non-destructive optical imaging process of Spectroscopy is described in detail and how it can be used to assist historians and document experts in the exemption of aged manuscripts. This non-destructive optical method of analysis can distinguish subtle differences in the reflectance properties of the materials under study. Many historically significant documents from libraries such as the Royal Irish Academy and the Russell Library at the National University of Ire...

The Irish in Asturias: the footprint of the Irish College, Salamanca, 1913–1950 (2012)

Richardson, Regina Whelan

Abstract:

Traces the history of the clerical students and rectors of the Irish College, Salamanca (Colegio Real de Nobles Irlandeses) on their summer vacations on the northern coast of Spain. The article draws chiefly on rectors’ reports to the Irish hierarchy in the Salamanca Archive, held in St. Patrick’s College, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland and on the papers of Alexander McCabe, rector of the College from 1935-49, held in the National Library of Ireland.. A summer house (Casona de Verines) was purchased in the early 1920s and thereafter the holidays were spent in Pendueles, Asturias. This article augments the small body of work that has been published to date on the 20th century history of the Irish College, Salamanca, it documents the Irish presence in Asturias, adding further details to our knowledge of the evacuation of the students on the outbreak of the Spanish civil war. It recounts some of the impressions and experiences of Alexander McCabe as an eye witness to the civil war...

The Salamanca Archive & the Irish Colleges in Spain: New Online Catalogue and Current Research (2014)

Leyden, Susan; Richardson, Regina Whelan

Abstract:

Migration has always been a big factor in Irish history and from 1600 to 1800 continental Europe was the main destination for tens of thousands of Irish migrants. Significant groupings of Irish migrants and exiles were seeking religious refuge, due to a series of penal laws directed towards Catholics and in operation in Ireland from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. These laws precluded the establishment of Catholic seminaries in Ireland as they forbade any type of Catholic teaching or education as well as encouraging the banishment of Catholic clergy in general. Various European cities and towns could provide places of support for the education and well-being of Catholic seminarists. Quickly, a network of Irish colleges began to emerge on the continent predominantly in Belgium, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal which educated both clergy and laity. The Irish colleges had the specific task of educating and training students for the priesthood and for the Irish Mission.

The Salamanca Archives (1995)

Richardson, Regina Whelan

Abstract:

An overview of the Salamanca Archive held at St. Patrick’s College, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland, within the context of the history of the Irish Colleges in Spain. From the late 16th century, Irish colleges grew up on the continent in countries where trade links with Ireland were already well established and where there was support for Catholic reform. Young men, seeking an education for the professions or training for the priesthood, gravitated to university centres in France, Spain, Portugal, and the Low Countries where small colleges were established to provide their formation .The archives of the Irish College in Salamanca came to Maynooth on the closure of the college in 1951. They comprise some 50,000 administrative documents dating from the foundation of the college in 1592 to the mid- 20th century. The collection also includes some papers from other Irish colleges on the Iberian Peninsula: Lisbon (flourished 1590-1834), Valladolid (founded 1592), Santiago de Compostela (fl...
