Reviews

‘This book is the first comprehensive history of the Franciscans in Ireland to be published … this book provides a full account of the Irish Franciscans in terms of the history of the order and its legacy, religious, cultural and material', Books Ireland (December 2009).

'This collection of essays, arranged chronologically, explores how Irish Franciscans have made history and how they have written history. The book deals with two anniversaries – the foundation of the Irish College at Louvain (Belgium) and the foundation of the Order itself almost 400 years earlier', Michael Merrigan, Ireland’s Genealogical Gazette (December 2009).

‘[This book] is the work of a team working under skilled editorial guidance … the book is produced and illustrated with all the exemplary care that readers and scholars have come to expect from the publishers. The book can be recommended, and anyone with an interest in modern Irish history will be well rewarded … this is a richly detailed book', Peter Costello, The Irish Catholic (Jan 2010).

‘Part I of this volume forms a sequential overview of the history of the Irish Franciscans and the Poor Clares, while Part II offers more detailed examinations of the legacies bequeathed by the generations of Irish Franciscans considered in part I in terms of scholarship, architecture, metalwork and missionary activity … this is a handsomely illustrated and attractively produced volume', Geraldine Parsons, The Tablet (19 June 2010).

‘This collection surveys the Irish Franciscan experience … the collection combines useful surveys with specialist topics (e.g., chalices, architecture) … recommended', T.P. Power, Trinity and Wycliffe College - University of Toronto, Choice (September 2010).
