An Historical Account of the Diocese of Down and Connor, Vol. 2: Ancient and Modern (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from An Historical Account of the Diocese of Down and Connor, Vol. 2: Ancient and Modern
I have kept as close as possible to the footmarks of such safe guides as Dr. Reeves and Mr. Benn, when they preceded me in their topographical researches; and I have obtained valuable assistance from the notes in the Rev. George Hill's edition of the Montgomery mss. The present Volume concludes the account of the parishes of the diocese of Down, and it is probable that another volume of similar size will suffice for that of the diocese of Connor, and for the few biographical anecdotes of the bishops which have escaped the ravages of time. Although it is intended that these three volumes should form one work, yet each of them as treating of a certain number of parishes, is complete in itself.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich history of the Diocese of Down and Connor, a region in Northern Ireland with deep roots in Irish Christianity. The author takes us on a journey through time, exploring the region's churches, monasteries, and schools, from their earliest foundations to the turbulent period of English rule and the Reformation. The book offers a detailed account of the rise and fall of various religious houses, including the Dominican Priory of Newtownards and the ancient Abbey of Moville. We encounter colorful figures from the past, including Saint Finnian, founder of Moville, and Saint Columbkille, one of his most famous pupils. The author illuminates the intricate web of local traditions, legends, and historical incidents that shaped the region's cultural landscape. We encounter fascinating tales like the legend of the Cathach, a sacred relic said to have been a copy of the Psalms transcribed by Saint Columbkille, and the story of Marianus Scotus, a renowned scholar who studied at Moville. The book examines the conflicts between different religious orders, such as the Dominicans and Franciscans, and explores the challenges faced by the Catholic faith in Ireland during a period of intense persecution. The book offers a unique perspective on the history of a specific region in Ireland, revealing the intricate connections between religious institutions, local communities, and the broader historical events that shaped the nation.
