Telling the truth is dangerous: How Robert Dudley Edwards changed Irish history forever. By Neasa MacErlean . Pp 279. London: Tartaruga Books. 2025. €14 paperback
Looking at the Wood, Seeing the Trees and More: Australia-New Zealand Tree-Ring Science Conference, January 2025
The Australia-New Zealand Tree-Ring Conference was held January 21–23, 2025, at Waipapa Taumata Rau/University of Auckland, in Aotearoa/New Zealand. It was intended to provide an opportunity for the Australian and New Zealand dendrochronological researchers to meet, present current research, and discuss the challenges and opportunities in working with Southern Hemisphere tree species, but it was open to others outside of Australasia, including so…
St Patrick’s Purgatory: Theology and History in the Reformation and Counter-Reformation
Patrick’s purgatory in Lough Derg, Donegal, is one of the great medieval pilgrimage sites. On the extreme edge of Europe, it physically embodied the theological idea of purgatory, offering pilgrims a this-worldly encounter with its horrors. Despite Protestant efforts to destroy it, it survived the Reformation and posed a classic challenge for Protestant and Roman Catholic historians. For the latter, it exemplified the continuity of Catholicism in…
The Church of Ireland: Power and distance in the early-seventeenth-century Atlantic
The complex identities of the Church of Ireland – independent of the Church of England but often treated as if it were subservient, like the ambiguities of the Irish state – part English colony, part-independent kingdom, have confused both contemporaries and historians. This chapter examines the position of the Church of Ireland from the wider perspective of Atlantic Protestantism. Using the example of John Winthrop who, before he decided to emig…
Puritanism from the Outside
Puritanism has, rightly, been seen as a primarily English phenomenon. But puritan ideas can also be studied in very different contexts, as they spread throughout the English-speaking religious world. This article seeks to “decentre” puritanism by examining it from the perspective of the other two national churches in Britain and Ireland – those in Scotland and Ireland. Taking Patrick Collinson’s definition of puritanism—that it was not something …
The Cost of Democracy: The Church of Ireland and Its Ritual Canons, 1871-1974
In 1870, disestablishment suddenly turned the Church of Ireland from a state church into a democracy, governed by its "parliament," the General Synod. The empowerment of the laity left it with a distinctive, indeed unique, feature among the churches of the Anglican communion-a set of disciplinary canons designed to exclude high-church ritualism from its worship. Passed in 1871, these canons, the most radical of which included a ban on the use of …

Neutron Tomography as a Valuable Tool for the Non‐destructive Analysis of Historical Bronze Sculptures
This paper explains, with the example of a Roman object (the ‘Mars from Oberweningen’, Switzerland), why neutrons can be used preferentially for the non‐destructive analysis of metallic objects of relatively large size. This method is superior to the conventional X‐ray tomography method due to the higher penetration ability in metals such as copper, tin and even lead. With this method, differing materials can also easily be differentiated. In thi…
The Great Parchment Book of Waterford: Liber Antiquissimus Civitatis Waterfordiae Edited by N. J. Byrne
British Interventions in Early Modern Ireland
This book offers a perspective on Irish History from the late sixteenth to the end of the seventeenth century. Many of the chapters address, from national, regional and individual perspectives, the key events, institutions and processes that transformed the history of early modern Ireland. Others probe the nature of Anglo-Irish relations, Ireland's ambiguous constitutional position during these years and the problems inherent in running a multipl…

Dependent or Independent? The Church of Ireland and Its Colonial Context, 1536–1649
The Church of Ireland, was in many ways a clone of the Church of England. The Irish reformation legislation which established the Church of Ireland was largely a copy of Henry VIII's acts establishing the Church of England. And many English politicians and clergy thought of the Church of Ireland as wholly dependent on the Church of England. But for those clergy who were born in Ireland, or who made their careers there, there was an alternative vi…

There is a marked difference between the history of the Church of Ireland in the sixteenth century and in the early seventeenth century. The historian of the early Reformation in Ireland has to deal with shifting religious divides and, in the Church of Ireland, with a complex and ambiguous religious entity, established but not necessarily Protestant, culturally unsure, politically weak, and theologically unselfconscious. By contrast, the first pa…
