Document Details : Title: Aspects of Irish Clerical Education (1558-1603) Author(s): O'CONNOR, Thomas Journal: Lias Volume: 49 Issue: 1 Date: 2022 Pages: 1-25 DOI: 10.2143/LIAS.49.1.3291721 Abstract : Prior to the 1590s foundation of the Protestant Trinity College in Dublin and its Catholic continental rivals in Lisbon, Salamanca and Douai, Protestant and Catholic reformers competed for clerical recruits from the same traditional priestly families, with varying levels of success.
