<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was published in 1900 by Burns &
Oates in London. “Soggarth” was a variant spelling of “sagart” , the Irish word
for priest. The priest in question was Matthew Russell SJ, poet, pastor, and editor
of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Irish Monthly</i> from 1873 to his
death in 1912. The book is one of five collections of poems and prayers
composed by Fr Russell which we hold in the library. </span>

capture his own faith, address that of his readers, and express his sense of Jesuit
culture. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll give two examples. The
first comes from the book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Madonna: Verses
on Our Lady and the </i>Saints, and is a poem called “Memorare”. Here the poet offers
a new translation of the traditional Marian prayer as his first verse, and then
adds two further verses of his own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
engages with his readers not only in the poem, but by means of a footnote. He
is concerned that readers might not know by heart the original “Memorare”, so
in the footnote he prints the Latin version and an English translation then in
use. It is against this background that his readers could experience the new poem,
and its sentiments of personal Marian devotion. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">On the second point concerning Fr Russell’s celebration of Jesuit
culture, I found some interesting examples in the books <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Altar Flowers: a book of prayers in verse (3<sup>rd</sup> ed. 1912) </i>and
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A Soggarth’s Last Verses</i> (1911).
These includes poems celebrating Jesuit saints Ignatius Loyola and Francis
Xavier, a translation from French of “The Seven Thoughts of a True Jesuit”, a
couplet summarizing the five points of the Ignatian examen, and an affectionate
image of the industrious Jesuit community at Dublin’s Saint Francis Xavier
Church, in the autobiographical poem “The Elevens of a Long Lifetime”: </span></div>

efforts: the verses and prayers which he had penned, “accidentally” as he said, during
his life as a Jesuit priest. One of his readers was Fr Stephen Brown, our
founder, who in an account of his own spiritual reading published in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Irish Rosary</i> in 1946, referred to Fr
Matthew as “a writer who helped me greatly in early days”. </span></div>

ago, on 1<sup>st</sup> July 1937, Bunracht na hÉireann was enacted by the Irish
people. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the following year, under
this new constitution, Douglas Hyde was elected unopposed as the first
president of Ireland.</span>

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Central
Catholic Library holds a rich collection of works by Hyde, reflecting the
importance he had for the founder Stephen Brown. Brown belonged to the first
generation that benefited fully from Hyde’s pioneering work on Irish language
and literature. Linguist, poet, translator and scholar, Hyde restored to
national memory the annals, romances, folktales and mythological cycles lost because of the historical circumstances which had effected Irish language and culture .Stephen Brown collected for
the library Hyde’s poems in both English and Irish. He also acquired works such
as Hyde’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Study of Early Gaelic
Literature</i>, published in London in 1894 by T. Fisher Unwin (who would be the future publishers of Tolkien). </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As well as
writing in Irish, Hyde translated into English tales such as the “Three
Sorrows, or Pities, of Irish storytelling”. These three Gaelic tragedies
comprise Déirdre, (based on love), the Children of Lir, (based on jealousy),
and the Children of Tuireann, (based on murder). Hyde's translation was published in one volume in 1895 (again by T. Fisher Unwin).
However the stories were reprinted by Dublin’s Talbot Press in three individual
volumes, (1939, 1940 and 1941), following Hyde’s election to the
presidency.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our copies of these three translations
are each inscribed in Irish by Hyde.</span></span></div>

The Church of St Kevin in Dublin's Harrington Street marks its 150th anniversary this year. For the first lecture in our autumn series, we have invited author Adrian Kenny to talk about this church and the ancient Dublin parish which surrounds it.<br />
<br />
Adrian has researched and published a history of St Kevin's. He is a member of Aosdána, and his previous books include both fiction and autobiography, ranging from the novel <i>The Feast of Michaelmas</i> and the memoir <i>Istanbul Diary</i> to the short story collection <i>Portobello Notebook</i>. Adrian has also translated and edited for Raven Arts Press <i>Eachtra Tomás MacCasaide</i>, a text preserved in an 18th-century Irish manuscript.<br />
<br />
Adrian's lecture takes place at 6.30 pm in the library on Tuesday 13th October. All are welcome. <br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The dominant
focus of Eamon Maher’s work is the cultural, literary and historic links
between France and Ireland. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
connecting the two countries, and setting their literary art in parallel, he
has richly illuminated our understanding of their shared artistic and religious
concerns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just two examples: in his
early publications on French priest and writer Jean Sulivan (1913-1980), he
identified a parallel between the rural Brittany of Sulivan’s roots, and the
Ireland of the 1950’s. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In later work on
John McGahern, Maher explored the profound influence of 19<sup>th</sup> century
French novelist Flaubert on the Leitrim writer. </span></div>

such as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Irish Times, Doctrine and
Life, The Month</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Études
Irlandaises</i>. In 2013, he broadcast five short presentations on Jean Sulivan
for RTE Radio as part of the Living Word series. His guiding interest in the
influence of faith on 20<sup>th</sup> century literary culture is evident in work
such as his 2014 article exploring Catholic sensibility in the early novels of
Edna O’Brien. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Celebrating St Teresa of Avila</span><br />
<br />
Our spring lecture series this year takes as its motif "remembering and imagining", with the first two lectures celebrating significant church anniversaries, and the final two exploring some of the links between Christianity and the arts.<br />
<br />
For the first lecture, we have invited Fr Eugene McCaffrey to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the birth of St Teresa of Avila. All are welcome to the talk, which takes place in the library at 6.30pm on Tuesday 10th March.<br />
<br />
Fr McCaffrey is attached to the community of Discalced Carmelite Friars at the Avila Centre in Dublin<a href="http://www.avilacentre.ie/"> www.avilacentre.ie</a> In 1998 he published a book on another great Carmelite saint, Thérèse of Lisieux, in the year in which she was declared a doctor of the church.<br />
<br />
Fr McCaffrey's books on the Spanish Teresa include an introduction to her writings, brought out by the Teresian Press in 2014. This year, Columba Press has published a second book <i>Let Nothing Trouble You: Teresa - the woman, the guide, the storyteller</i>. <br />
<br />
All of these titles by Fr McCaffrey are available for borrowing from our lending library.

Our autumn lecture series this year will take as its theme the Irish priest in history and society.<br />
<br />
The first lecture in the series will take place at 6.30pm on Tuesday 30th September, and our speaker will be Felix Larkin. Felix will explore F. X. Martin's contribution to the historiography of the 1916 Rising. <br />
<br />
F. X. Martin (1922-2000) was an Augustinian priest and professor of Medieval History in University College Dublin. He is today best remembered for spearheading the campaign in the late 1970s to save the Wood Quay archaeological site in Dublin. In the 1960s and early 1970s, however, he published an impressive series of books, edited collections and essays on the 1916 Rising and related issues. He claimed - correctly - that these were 'the first attempt at a cool appraisal of the Easter Rising in the context of the Ireland of its time'. His work challenged not only the conventional historical view of the Rising, but also the view of Irish history generally that Pearse and his followers had put forward in their proclamation of the republic, read out at the GPO on Easter Monday 1916 and which had subsequently taken hold of the public mind. He is accordingly regarded as one of the 'two godfathers of revisionism', to quote Pádraig Ó Snodaigh. The main purpose of Felix Larkin's paper is to review Martin's work on 1916 and to consider its continued relevance as we prepare to commemorate the centenary of the Easter Rising. <br />
<br />
Felix M. Larkin is academic director of the Parnell Summer School. A retired public servant, he now works as a historian and freelance writer. He has written extensively on the press in Ireland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and he is a founder member of the Newspaper and Periodical History Forum of Ireland. His publications include <i>Terror and Discord: the Shemus cartoons in the </i>Freeman's Journal, <i>1920-1924 </i>(Dublin, 2009), and, as editor, <i>Librarians, poets and scholars: a Festschrift</i> <i>for Dónal Ó Luanaigh</i> (2007). Forthcoming in 2014 is <i>Periodicals and journalism in twentieth-century Ireland</i>, jointly edited by Felix Larkin and Mark O' Brien.<br />
<br />
Felix is a member of the council of the Central Catholic Library, and also serves on the statutory Readers Advisory Committee of the National Library of Ireland. His is chairman of the Sick and Indigent Roomkeepers Society, Dublin's oldest charity. <br />

One of the anthologies of French poetry held in our collection was published by Alphonse Lemerre under the title <i>Anthologie des poëtes français depuis le XVè siècle jusqu'à nos jours. </i><br />
<br />
Lemerre was born in Normandy in 1838, and from 1860 pursued his career in Paris, becoming one of the leading literary publishers of the day. He was esteemed in particular for his editions of work by the poets of the Parnassian movement. Inspired by the "art for art's sake" thesis of Théophile Gautier, these writers viewed poetry as being primarily concerned with the celebration of beauty, rather than a medium for discussing social issues or transmitting moral values. Oscar Wilde would absorb and refract into literature in English is own interpretation of Parnassian ideas.<br />
<i> </i><br />
There is no date of publication given in our anthology, but from the evidence of the poets included, it would have come out between 1880 and 1895. What <i>is </i>included on the title page is the emblem shown above: a visual and verbal hallmark which Lemerre made use of across the range of books published by his firm. The significant elements of the image are the act of digging to prepare the ground for planting, the town glimpsed in the background, and the rising sun. The Latin motto "Fac Et Spera" means "Do and Hope", and at the base of the image are Lemerre's initials, "AL".<br />
<br />
The origin of this emblem can be traced back to collections of emblems first produced in Europe in the 16th century. Patricia Flemming has explored the "Fac Et Spera" image in particular, and her article can be read at <a href="http://emblematicaonlineuiuc.wordpress.com/research-results/research-papers-2">http://emblematicaonlineuiuc.wordpress.com/research-results/research-papers-2</a><br />
<br />
The emblems were designed to communicate a message: political, amorous, or religious. The original, slightly different, version of Lemerre's image first appeared in 1615. The figure digging is a woman, possibly representing Ceres, the Greek goddess of agriculture. The Hebrew word "Adonai", another name for God, also appears in this version of the image. Fleming emphasizes that readers would have absorbed a religious message here; prosperity comes from work and from faith in God. The town is the social unit that will thrive through the working figure depicted. The sun symbolizes both prosperity and the divine presence explored through faith.<br />
<br />
Lemerre has adapted this image; filtering it through the lens of his own political, moral and literary sympathies. He believed in the French republic, supported anti-clerical positions on both freedom of conscience and the separation of church and state, and published writers for whom literature was an aesthetic, rather than a moral reality.<br />
<br />
Yet the "Fac Et Spera" emblem, which had drifted through to him from another cultural epoch, is appropriated in order to present values which Lemerre lived by and wished to be known for: a work ethic, the moral courage of hope. The Parnassians did not teach, but there were still lessons to be learned.

</tbody></table>
The Central Catholic Library is delighted to have Fr Michael Collins as one of the speakers for our spring 2014 lecture series. Fr Collins, who is attached to St Mary's Parish, Haddington Road in Dublin, published a biography of the newly elected pope last year, and is well know as a writer. Some of his previous books, available to borrow from the library, include <i>The Fisherman's Net: the influence of the papacy in history</i> (2003), and studies of Benedict XVI (2010) and John Paul II (2011). The title of his lecture, which will be take place in the library at 6.30pm on Tuesday 4th March, is <i>The Franciscan Revolution: Pope Francis and his push for change</i>. <br />
<br />
To me, one of the most interesting aspects of Jorge Bergoglio's career is the time he spent as a teacher of literature and psychology while training for the Jesuit order in the 1960's. In his biography, Fr Michael describes how Bergoglio spent 1964-5 at the Colegio de la Imaculada, (a secondary school in Santa Fé), moving to the Colegio del Salvador in Buenos Aires in 1966. While Bergoglio found psychology easy to teach, literature posed some problems for him. <br />
<br />
This is something Pope Francis takes up in his interview with Antonio Spadaro S.J. for the Italian Jesuit review <i>La Civiltá Cattolica, </i>(available in English at <a href="http://www.americamagazine.org/pope-interview">americamagazine.org</a> ). Faced with the disinterest of his young students in the required study of Spanish classics such as <i>El Cid</i>, Bergoglio adopted a creative approach. The boys could study their <i>El Cid</i> at home, while in class he would discuss with them the authors they were interested in; so allowing them to develop their tastes in a natural rather than an imposed way. He also encouraged creative writing, and sent two stories by students to the major Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, who was inspired by them to contribute an introduction to a story collection by the whole class. <br />
<br />
Going back to Fr Michael's account, there might seem to be a discrepancy between the creative teaching strategy adopted by Bergoglio, and the recollections of his students, who, according to Fr Michael, remember both their teacher's self-discipline and his strictness with them. At its best, education leads not just to the mastery of a subject but also to the successful transmission of ethical values, and Fr Michael underlines Bergoglio's awareness of this. Yet perhaps there is no discrepancy here. Asked in the Spadaro interview about his favorite artists, the pope mentioned composers and painters but spoke also of his appreciation of fiction, in the form of both novels and films. He loves Cervantes, Dostoevsky and Manzoni, Fellini's <i>La Strada, </i>and the films of Rossellini; writers and directors who all, whether by word or image, explored the way we live, how we live and why. In encouraging his students' sensitivity to fiction, Bergoglio had them enter a psychological space in which ethical and human values are evoked, experimented with, explored.<br />
<br />
As a teacher, Jorge Begoglio trusted the link between literature and life. <br />

<br />
Christopher Moriarty was literally immersed in the River Liffey when he fell into its waters at the age of three! Somewhat later he obtained a Master's degree for a study of the fishes of the Blessington Lakes, and later contributed some chapters to <i>The Book of the Liffey</i>, edited by Elizabeth Healy and published by Wolfhound Press. <br />
<br />
He has been writing articles and books on Irish heritage topics for nearly fifty years, including a regular article in <i>The Sacred Heart Messenger</i> since 1993. Other books include <i>Down the Dodder, On Foot in Dublin and Wicklow, </i>and<i> Exloring Dublin</i>. Christopher is writing a new book about the Liffey which he hopes will be published in 2014. <br />
<br />
All are welcome to the talk, which begins at 6.30pm. <br />

The most interesting translation we have is shown above. It is a selection of the letters printed in Dublin in 1768. The title page assures us that the translation is "from the French of the last Paris edition", but, as was frequently the case in this period, the translator is not named. Also in our collection is a <i>Dictionary of Madame de Sévigné, </i>compiled by Edward Fitzgerald, who recorded his interest in "writing out for my own use a Dictionary of the Dramatis Personae figuring in the Corrrespondence". His work was edited by his great-niece Mary Eleanor Fitzgerald Kerrich, and published in two volumes in 1914. <br />
<br />
There are also some key essays about Madame de Sévigné included as prefaces to both French and English editions. A selection from the correspondence published by Garnier Frères in Paris in 1886 has an essay by the critic Sainte-Beuve. And Somerset Maugham writes the introduction to a selection translated by Violet Hamersley and published in London in 1955. <br />

Six centuries separate Dante, the greatest of Italian writers, from Marcel Proust, perhaps the greatest of the French. Dante died in 1321, and Proust in 1922. Yet both, in specific places in their work, imagined memory as a book.<br />
<br />
The illustration shows the opening page of Dante's <i>Vita Nuova</i> or <i>New Life</i>, a collection of poems with prose introductions in which the poet explores his love for Beatrice Portinari, and the new life which began when he first saw her. This edition is part of the Central Catholic Library's Dante collection, and was published in London by the Chiswick Press in 1892. Our collection includes a number of editions of Dante's works in both Italian and English versions, as well as criticism and commentary ranging from the nineteenth to the present century.<br />
<br />
Dante begins the <i>Vita Nuova</i> with an explanation; in the book of his memory he has found a page of written words under the heading "Here begins the New Life". He now intends to create a real book out of all these words. He wants to perpetuate the words so that the extract from the book of his memory relating his love for Beatrice is incarnate in paper and ink. The book of memory contains the text to be written. The writer becomes the scribe who will copy it.<br />
<br />
In a related way, Proust, in his novel <i>In Search of Lost Time</i>, speaks of the "livre intérieur", the book within the mind. He says that the writer's task is to translate the "unknown signs" of this book. Proust conceives of a book generated by and held in the writer's consciousness; a book which will cross a membrane between worlds, becoming substantial on the writer's desk.<br />
<br />
The concept of memory as a book, enduring across six centuries to link Proust back to Dante, shows how deeply wedded literary culture has been to the medium of the physical, individually bound book, the <i>livre-objet</i>. It's as if we have been thinking in books; as if they express for us not just what we think, but how we think as well. <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">"The World of Imagery" by Stephen J. Brown, with a dedication to the author's father. </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
In founding his Catholic library, Fr Stephen Brown incorporated all of the self-evident subject areas: from sacred scripture to the church fathers, from christology to theology , from church liturgy to the traditions of the spiritual life. However, his library also holds books in areas which might surprise those new to the library, and perhaps even those who feel they already know it well.<br />
<br />
Brown published his first article about the library in the Irish Jesuit review <i>Studies</i> in 1922. He stated his intention that there would be "few departments of human interest that would be unrepresented", and he listed the subject areas which the collection would include, and on which his classification scheme would be based. Section 26 in his scheme is assigned to <i>Belles Lettres</i>, comprising fiction, poetry, essays and plays. <br />
<br />
And so the Central Catholic Library has substantial holdings in English, Irish, French, Spanish, Italian and German literature, as well as books from linguistic traditions such as Breton. Over the summer, I hope to present examples from these holdings on the blog.<br />
<br />
But how did Stephen Brown arrive at the inclusion of literature whose primary aims are aesthetic, within a collection whose primary aim was religious? One possible answer can be found in a study called <i>The World of Imagery</i>, which Brown was working on in the early years of the library's existence, and which he published in 1927.<br />
<br />
In this book he sets out to explore visually descriptive or figurative language, "to map it out, to trace its main features". It might be thought that the sole focus of his exploration would be imaginative literature, especially poetry and literary prose, and of course he gives a lot of attention to both. For instance, in his discussion of images in which aspects of the natural world, such as the sun, are personified and given human qualities, he cites Shakespeare's <i>Richard II</i>, where Henry Bolingbroke, besieging Richard at Flint castle, says: "See, see, King Richard doth himself appear / As doth the blushing discontented sun, / From out the fiery portal of the East, / When he perceives the envious clouds are bent / to dim his glory".<br />
<br />
But the interesting thing is that for Brown, to map imagery is to map culture as a whole. He writes that imagery "has significance for Language, Literature, and Art" but also for "the domain of thought", including theology and philosophy. The human capacity to make images seems to have formed, for Brown, a kind of substratum uniting all the various aspects of cultural endeavor. The accommodation of the aesthetically motivated work is guaranteed in his scheme by a cultural phenomenon, imagery, which is also a feature of sacred scripture, of theology, of christology, and so on.<br />
<br />
Brown's planning of the library, together with the classification scheme he wrote for it, (including section 26), represent a cultural philosophy still evident in his library's collections over ninety years later.

The final lecture in this year's spring series will be given by noted Irish historian Patrick Maume. Patrick will speak about the Great Irish Famine; dealing specifically with contemporary press coverage by Catholic convert and journalist Frederick Lucas, founder of <i>The Tablet</i>.<br />
<br />
Currently a researcher with the Royal Irish Academy's <i>Dictionary of Irish Biography</i>, Patrick Maume has published on many aspects of Irish political and literary history. His books include studies of Daniel Corkery, Margaret Cusack (the "nun of Kenmare"), and John Sarsfield Casey. In <i>The Long Gestation</i>, he analyses Irish nationalist political culture in the period from 1900 to 1918. Patrick Maume has also published on media history in Ireland, including the histories of the <i>Irish Independent </i>and the <i>Dublin Evening Mail. </i><br />
<br />
Patrick's current projects include research into the role of Frederick Lucas and the <i>Tablet </i>in Irish affairs in the 1840's and 1850's.<br />

The second lecture in our spring series, coinciding with the Year of Faith, will focus on the pivotal place of the Fathers of the Church in helping to form and articulate the faith of the early Church.<br />
<br />
The lecture takes place at 6.30pm on Tuesday 19th March in the library. <br />
<br />
Our speaker, Finbarr Clancy S.J., emphasizes that, in a time where we are celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council, we do well to remember Pope John XXIII's advocacy of returning to the sources of Christian tradition, as well as reading the signs of the times in the light of the gospel. The Fathers have always been a fertile source of inspiration for all that is best in theology and the life of the Church.<br />
<br />
Fr Clancy is currently Professor of Theology at the Milltown Institute in Dublin, where he also serves as Rector of the Ecclesiastical Faculty and Acting President. He has also lectured on Patristics in St Patrick's College, Maynooth. He acts as Chairperson of the Patristric Symposium, an interdisciplinary group of scholars who meet regularly to discuss the Church Fathers and organise seminars and conferences on Patristic studies.<br />
<br />
Fr Clancy has published widely on Patristic topics. He devoted two studies to the Church Fathers on the Eucharist in connection with last year's International Eucharistic Congress, held in Dublin. He is particularly interested in the Latin Fathers such as Cyprian, Augustine and Ambrose, and in the liturgical poetry of St Ephrem the Syrian. He lectures in Patristics, sacramental theology and systematic theology, and maintains a keen interest in ecumenical dialogue between the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches.<br />
<br />
In tandem with the lecture, our honorary librarian Peter Costello has organised an exhibition presenting the work of the Church Fathers in word and image. The exhibition can be viewed during library opening hours: 11am-6pm (Monday to Friday) and 11am-5.30pm (Saturday).<br />
<br />
For those interested in exploring the thought of the Fathers, the library holds a rich collection of Patrisitic writings, including the ongoing series of new English translations published by the Catholic University of America Press. <br />

As Saint Patrick's Day falls on Sunday this year, and Monday will be a bank holiday, the library will be closed from 6pm on Friday 15th March, re-opening after the weekend at 11am on Tuesday 19th March. <br />
<br />
Enjoy the Feast Day, and the weekend!

<br />
In his first apostolic blessing, Pope Francis noted that it had been the duty of the Conclave to give Rome a Bishop, and ironically they had gone to the ends of the earth to get one!<br />
<br />
After offering a prayer for Bishop Emeritus, Benedict XVI, Pope Francis continued: " And now, we take up this journey : Bishop and People... A journey of fraternity, of love, of trust among us. Let us always pray for one another. Let us pray for the whole world, that there may be a great spirit of fraternity. It is my hope for you that this journey of the Church, which we start today...will be fruitful for the evangelization of this most beautiful city."<br />
<br />
Before giving his blessing, Pope asked a favour of the assembled audience, saying "And now I would like to give the blessing, but first, first, I ask a favour of you : before the Bishop blesses his people, I ask you to pray to the Lord that he will bless me: the prayer of the people asking the blessing for their Bishop."<br />
<br />
Pope Francis then gave his own blessing to all those in St Peter's Square, and to the world.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The first lecture in our spring series will explore the traumatic events of 1913 from the perspective of Dublin's Catholic archbishop, clergy and religious. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Our speaker, Thomas Morrissey S.J., was formerly director of Dublin's National College of Industrial Relations. He has published over thirteen works relating to church and social history. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">His books include biographies of Archbishop William Walsh, the trades unionist William O'Brien and the journalist and politician William Martin Murphy; three figures active in Dublin during the 1913 strike. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />Fr Morrissey's lecture takes place at 6.30 pm on Tuesday 12th March. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Our first speaker, on 12th March, will be Fr Thomas Morrissey SJ. In this centenary of the 1913 Dublin strike and lockout, Fr Morrissey will discuss the event from the perspective of Dublin's Catholic archbishop, clergy and religious. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Turning to the Year of Faith, we will focus on the Fathers of the Church with a talk by Fr Finbarr Clancy SJ on how the Fathers continue to inform Catholic belief and practice. Fr Clancy will speak on 19th March. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In tune with ongoing debates about the relationship between religion and science, Dr Don O' Leary of University College Cork will offer a presentation entitled "The Roman Catholic Church and Science: conflict or complexity?" This talk will be on 9th April. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And finally, on 23rd April, historian Patrick Maume will present his research on the founder of the <i>Tablet</i>, Frederic Lucas, and the ways in which Lucas reported on the Great Irish Famine. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">All four lectures will take place at 6.30pm in the library. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">“And without letters what
is life?” once asked the great sixteenth-century humanist scholar Erasmus,
whose contribution to European literary culture includes biblical translation,
works of devotion, educational texts, satire and social commentary. Originally
from Rotterdam, his true home, as James McConica has said, was “the one he
constructed with his pen”. </span></span></div>

page of our copy of John Jortin’s biography of Erasmus, published in two
volumes in 1758-60. The copy is in a rather orphaned state, lacking its cover
and title page. The author and publications details were established following a
lead from a publisher’s catalogue bound in with the text. The copy
contains the original two volumes bound as one; badly bound, as one block of pages has been inserted in the wrong place. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Nevertheless, the sewn
binding, the quality of the watermarked paper, and the layout of each page, all make this 250 year old book a
pleasure to look at and read. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">One of the interesting
additions to the text is a two-page spread displaying samples of the
handwriting of Erasmus and some of his many correspondents. The language in
which they wrote to each other was Latin: also the language of Erasmus’s works.
Jortin comments in the biography that Erasmus “...had spent all his days in
reading, writing, and talking Latin”, and notes that “Erasmus, in the earlier
part of his life, carefully studied the Greek and Latin grammar, read lectures
upon them, and translated Greek works into Latin”. As a humanist scholar,
devoted to the wisdom of classical antiquity, Erasmus saw Greek and Roman literature
as part of God’s divine plan: its significance completed in Christ’s
Incarnation as defined and explored in Scripture. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Erasmus signs the note by
him included in the samples with “Erasmus Rott. mea manu”: a fitting
signature also to the entire body of work from the hand of this dedicated citizen of the
Republic of Letters</span>. </span></div>

Her topic will be the Dublin-born painter Aloysius O'Kelly (1853-1936).<br /><br />Professor O'Sullivan's extensive research on O'Kelly culminated this year in the publication of her book <span style="font-style: italic;">Aloysius O'Kelly : Art, Nation, Empire </span>which combines a biography of the painter with an illustrated catalogue of his work.<br /><br />O'Kelly's <span style="font-style: italic;">Mass in a Connemara Cabin</span> (shown above) is perhaps one of his most familiar images today. The story of how an Edinburgh priest, alerted via an internet article that Prof. O'Sullivan was trying to locate this painting, contacted her to say that he had a work signed by O'Kelly hanging in his sitting-room, is well known. The archbishop of Edinburgh, once the work had been identified, generously offered it on permanent loan to the National Gallery in Dublin.<br /><br />Interestingly, as Fintan Cullen has noted, the painting was originally exhibited in the Paris Salon of 1884: the first painting of an Irish subject to be included since the Salon's inauguration in the early 18th century. <a href="http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/weekend/2010/0501"><br /></a>Teresa Whitingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02842052617092549470noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-45088172392170294.post-48572933001141451362010-11-04T08:23:00.000-07:002010-11-04T08:48:37.552-07:00Our Newman Lecture<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqVSDlhcXwWhrxDugkWqk3Ob8IxDbybdqLA3fW7_iD1jWKwvBZaMpv_z4gC6pMvv8oSoDChsGuMpfyLQfAZ1G937h7Al5N93lFwiEM0wI47vd6SCo606ym5XMJhtQWqURocfGrkONN2A/s1600/Newman2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 275px; height: 183px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqVSDlhcXwWhrxDugkWqk3Ob8IxDbybdqLA3fW7_iD1jWKwvBZaMpv_z4gC6pMvv8oSoDChsGuMpfyLQfAZ1G937h7Al5N93lFwiEM0wI47vd6SCo606ym5XMJhtQWqURocfGrkONN2A/s320/Newman2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535721970197561362" border="0" /></a><br />As announced in my last posting, Dr Teresa Iglesias was due to give a lecture on Newman on October 19th. She had to withdraw at the last moment, and Dr Angelo Bottone kindly agreed to replace her. (Copies of Teresa Iglesias's edition of Newman's <span style="font-style: italic;">Idea of a University </span>are available for loan from our Lending department).<br /><br />Dr Bottone focused on Newman's Dublin writings, and on his general experiences as founding rector of the Catholic University. The talk drew on Dr Bottone's recently published book <span style="font-style: italic;">The Philosophical Habit of Mind : rhetoric and person in John Henry Newman's Dublin writings". </span>If you would like to know more about Angelo's work as a lecturer and author, see his blog at <a href="http://www.bottone.blogspot.com/">www.bottone.blogspot.com</a><br /><br />Our Newman exhibition, with a number of first editons and some interesting visual material on display, continues until 21st November, due to public interest.Teresa Whitingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02842052617092549470noreply@blogger.com0
