About this book
Reviews
“This collection suggests an ambitious research agenda for historians of Irish clerical networks. In highlighting the importance of Roman archives, it points up current deficiencies in Irish historiography and professional training. … The establishment of an Irish clerical prosopography (an impossibly ambitious goal?), would facilitate this grand enterprise.” (T. O’Connor, British Catholic History, Vol. 34 (4), 2019)
