The Threnodia Hiberno-Catholica (1659) and the Irish Franciscan community in the Tyrol

Tjoelker, Nienke, “The Threnodia Hiberno-Catholica (1659) and the Irish Franciscan community in the Tyrol”, Renæssanceforum 10 (2016): 173–191.

abstract:

This article focuses on Maurice Conry’s Threnodia Hiberno-Catholica (1659) and the Irish Franciscan community in the Tyrol. Conry's work is an example of many Latin works written by Irish exiled clergy on the Continent in the mid-seventeenth century. In this contribution, after outlining the authorial issues, a summary of the contents of the Threnodia is given and then placed in the context of the expatriate clerical Irish of the 1650s. The piece concludes with a section on contemporary reactions to itinerant Irish friars, mainly from within mendicant circles.

Historiografie en polemiek in John Callaghans Vindiciae catholicorum Hiberniae

Tjoelker, Nienke, “Historiografie en polemiek in John Callaghans Vindiciae catholicorum Hiberniae”, Kelten: Mededelingen van de Stichting A. G. van Hamel voor Keltische Studies 53 (February, 2012): 2–4.

Irishness and literary persona in the debate between John Lynch and O’Ferrall

Tjoelker, Nienke, “Irishness and literary persona in the debate between John Lynch and O’Ferrall”, Renæssanceforum 8 (2012): 167–192.

abstract:

In 1664, the Irish priest John Lynch published his Alithinologia as a refutation of a report by the Capuchin Richard O'Ferrall in 1658. Their debate provides two interesting examples of polemical texts written by Irish authors in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The style of both authors reflects their identity, that of an ardent Gaelic supporter of Rinuccini (O'Ferrall) and that of Old English cleric who supports the faction trying to achieve a peace agreement with the English as soon as possible (Lynch). This contribution will sketch the historical background of their debate, and contrast the authors in relation to their background, the content of their works and the form and style of their writings.

John Lynch’s Alithinologia (1664): Ciceronian disputation and cultural translation in the early modern period

Tjoelker, Nienke, “John Lynch’s Alithinologia (1664): Ciceronian disputation and cultural translation in the early modern period”, in: Astrid Steiner-Weber [gen. ed.] (ed.), Acta Conventus Neo-Latini Upsaliensis: proceedings of the Fourteenth International Congress of Neo-Latin Studies (Uppsala 2009), Leiden, Boston: Brill, 2012. 1119–1129.

abstract:

An analysis of the Latin of the Alithinologia can help to contextualise Irish Latin works among contemporary writings from the continent and develop a detailed analysis of the impact of humanist Latin upon the origins of national identity in Ireland in the early modern period. It gives a short analysis of Lynch's Latinity in the Alithinologia, under the headings of orthography, morphology, syntax, vocabulary and style. That Latin style is still an important point of discussion in Lynch's time and can be illustrated by its own frequent criticism of barbarisms in O'Ferrall's work in the Alithinologiae Supplementum. Two aspects stand out in Lynch's style in the Alithinologia. Firstly, Lynch intends to write in a highly rhetorical style, in a moderate Ciceronian, or eclectic Latin style, in order to achieve a 'true account'. The classical and ecclesiastical education that Lynch received show the learning of the renaissance, as modified by the counter-reformation.
