Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Containing the Rise, Growth and Present State of the English Congregation of the Order of St. Benedict: Drawn From the Archives of the Houses of the Said Congregation at Douay in Flanders, Dieulwart in Lorraine, Parin in France, and Lamspring in Germany, Where Are Preserved the Authentic Acts and Original Deeds, Etc; An: 1709 The following work is offered to the public as a contribution to the history of the Catholic Church in England during the seventeenth century. There is, indeed, a good deal told us in it concerning the history of the Benedictines in England before that period, but the chief value of these Chronological Notes consists in the information which they contain on the reestablishment of the English Benedictines under the first of the Stuarts, and the chief events in connection with their body down to the death of James II. Till very recently the supply of works illustrative of the condition of the Catholic Church in this country subsequent to the Reformation has been extremely scanty. The Collections of Dodd, the Memoirs of Missionary Priests by Bishop Challoner, Mr. C. Butler´s Historical Memoirs of English Catholics, the antidotal and Supplementary Memoirs which Dr. Milner published on the same subject, and the various writings of the late Dr. Oliver, were the best known, and indeed, almost the only works on our history accessible to the Catholic Student. But with the publication of the late Canon Tierney´s edition of Dodd´s Church history, a new era may be said to have commenced, and the interest excited by his most valuable notes, consisting as they so often did of extracts from the almost forgotten manuscript treasures still in the possession of Catholics, has never since died out. To the influence of this newly-awakened spirit of enquiry and research we probably owe the publication of many able and interesting articles in the Rambler and other Catholic serial publications, of the Records of the English Province of the Society of Jesus, edited by the Rev. H. Foley, S. J., of Mrs. Hopes Franciscan Martyrs, and of several other works of the same kind. Simultaneously with this desire to promote a more general interest in the history of our catholic forefathers, there has arisen a wish for the reproduction and publication of the original records from which the works above enumerated drew their information. What the Calendar of State Papers and the numerous historical publications issued under the direction of the Master of the Rolls, have done for the general history of our country, has been done in some measure for Catholic history, by Mr. Lewis´ translation of Sanders´ History of the Schism and by the First and Second Douay Diaries edited by the Fathers of the London Oratory.
