This is the earliest chapter act book in Ireland and contains the basic material not only for the history of the cathedral but for charting the progress of the reformation in Dublin. This text, newly edited by Raymond Gillespie, will be of central importance to any reading of the most crucial years of religious reform in Ireland.
'This is an excellent edition and a welcome third volume in an ambitious project of publication of the history of one of Dublin's two great cathedrals', John McCafferty, Journal of Ecclesiastical History.
