Muriel McCarthy & Ann Simmons, editors

Reviews

‘Those interested in library history can profit here.’ Clare O’Halloran, Irish Historical Studies.

‘The essays are written by eminent scholars and historians and as such are a major addition to the study of the history of the Church … [this book] contains thirteen papers relating to both the life and work of Narcissus Marsh, archbishop of Dublin (1638-1713) and to the founding of his public library (1701) in Dublin …the volume is a collection of papers from a conference in 2001 held to mark the tercentenary of Marsh’s Library in Dublin … the volume overall is a welcome insight into the study of the period and it places an historic Irish institution within its intellectual, religious and cultural context', Susan Parkes, Recusant History (October 2009)
