Architectural Plans and Drawings
(1995)
Seymour, Valerie
Abstract:
In this essay I propose to discuss some of the architectural plans and drawings in the library collections and their relation to existing buildings. These drawings are the work of architects Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-52) and James Joseph McCarthy (1817-82) in the main, and illustrate the mid-nineteenth- century building programme at Maynooth. Pugin's influential writings on architecture, ornament and all matters Gothic, which are well represented in the collections, will also be discussed.

THE BIBLE IN MAYNOOTH

THE BIBLE IN MAYNOOTH
(1995)
Seymour, Valerie
Abstract:
The story of the Bible in Maynooth mirrors the separate yet parallel development of the translation, publishing and dissemination of the Scriptures by the two main Christian denominations in the post-Reformation period. Before the middle of the fifteenth century manuscript bibles were for the exclusive use of the clergy and nobility. The Latin Vulgate version reigned supreme, well under Church control. Some hundred editions of the Vulgate were printed by the end of the fifteenth century. Many vernacular versions emerged in Europe from the mid-1450s onward. There were over 75 versions of Scripture in German,French, Dutch, Italian and Spanish before 1540. In the same period some 50 English versions were printed.2 The emergence of these vernacular versions in European languages represents another strand in bible production. For a short period there were many versions of the Vulgate and increasing numbers in the vernacular being produced simultaneously. The bible collections in Maynooth...

The Pamphlets Considered
(1995)
Woods, Penny
Abstract:
Take a sheet of paper, demy, pot or royal, with eight pages printed on each side; fold it once, twice and a third time; stabstitch along the back fold to hold it together-and you have a pamphlet, in its simplest form. A slightly longer text, and an extra half-sheet, or a second and third, folded to match, can be incorporated. The title-page must serve as cover for there is no binding. It is left to the title to bait the reader.

The religious mind of Maynooth's Gaelic manuscripts

The religious mind of Maynooth's Gaelic manuscripts
(1995)
Ó Dúshláine, Tadhg
Abstract:
By a happy coincidence the byline for Maynooth College's bicentenary celebrations, 'for faith and fatherland', is a precise description of that last great flowering of native spirituality during the Baroque Age (1600-1700). James Fitzmaurice Fitzgerald, leader of the 1579 rebellion, insisted that 'zeal for God's honour and their own country' was the rebels' prime motivation, just as Hugh O'Neill declared in 1615 that all his acts of defiance against the crown were 'in defence of the Catholic faith and of his fatherland'. From the defeat at Kinsale in 1601 to the Famine of1847-8, the old Gaelic order suffered political, military, social and economic disaster. Paradoxically, and perhaps consequentially, no other period produced such a volume of native poetry and prose, of such literary and intellectual merit. The native bardic tradition, isolated for the most part from the mainstream of the medieval Continental tradition by the conserv...
