Summary:"This calendar is a comprehensive research tool and finding aid, listing for the first time in one volume over 2,600 documents exchanged between the Jesuit Curia and superiors of the Jesuit Irish mission between 1566- and 1752, now preserved in Rome and Dublin. Whether sent from Rome or the missionary fields in Ireland, these documents are alive with news of particular ministries and administrative maters, persecutions and the dangers of communication, the shifting alliances of friends and foes at times of war, and the diplomacy and flexibility required to direct Jesuits in the field. The documents calendared here provide a window onto life in Ireland and onto Irish connections with the continent in the dramatic religious and political environments of early-modern Europe." --Book jacket.
