Opis

A pivotal moment in Irish history, the evolution of the Counter-Reformation church--with the papal nuncio GianBattista Rinuccini at the heart of the turbulent events of the 1640s--formed an important prologue to the Cromwellian conquest. This book offers a scholarly reappraisal of the man and his role in shaping the religion and history of Ireland.

Recenzje

Dr Tadhg Ó hAnnracháin is to be commended not only for his choice of subject but for his persistence in seeking to extract meaning on the Counter Reformation in Ireland from most unpromising sources ... The outcome from Ó hAnnracháin's investigation is an original and, in several respects, a startling book.
