Catholic Record Society: Douai College Documents 1639-1794, Volume 63

London, Catholic Record Society, 1972. First Edition. Hardcover. Blue cloth. xii, 467p. Light signs of shelf wear. Otherwise, a clean and tight book in very good condition. The Catholic Record Society (Registered Charity No. 313529), "the premier Catholic historical society in the United Kingdom", founded in 1904, is a scholarly society devoted to the study of Reformation and post-Reformation Catholicism in England and Wales. Particularly active members in its early years were Joseph Gillow, J. H. Pollen, and Joseph S. Hansom. The society was initially established as a text publication society, with the aim of publishing Catholic historical records. Only later did it become a more general historical society. It has been credited with making much otherwise obscure archival material more readily available. This book contains documents giving us historical insight into the Douai College. The English College was a Catholic seminary in Douai, now in France (also previously spelled Douay, and in English Doway), associated with the University of Douai. It was established in about 1561, and was suppressed in 1793. It is known for a Bible translation referred to as the Douay-Rheims Bible. This book includes a Douai Diary, lists of students and financial matters, a personal diary, records of provosts and deans, and other pertinent college-related materials. .

Catholic Record Society: Lisbon College Register 1628-1813, Volume 72

London, Catholic Record Society, 1991. First Edition. Hardcover. Blue cloth. xvii, 252p. Light soiling on cover. Otherwise, book is tight, clean, and in very good condition. The Catholic Record Society (Registered Charity No. 313529), "the premier Catholic historical society in the United Kingdom", founded in 1904, is a scholarly society devoted to the study of Reformation and post-Reformation Catholicism in England and Wales. Particularly active members in its early years were Joseph Gillow, J. H. Pollen, and Joseph S. Hansom. The society was initially established as a text publication society, with the aim of publishing Catholic historical records. Only later did it become a more general historical society. It has been credited with making much otherwise obscure archival material more readily available. This book is a register of the students at Lisbon College. The English College, Lisbon (Portuguese Convento dos Inglesinhos) was a Roman Catholic seminary that existed from the 17th century to the 20th century. In 1624 a college for English students wishing to study for the Catholic priesthood, and for mission work in England, was founded in Lisbon by Pedro Coutinho, a member of a prominent family. It was known as SS. Peter and Paul's (with greater formality the Pontifical English College of Sts Peter and Paul - Lisbon). It was awarded the same rights and privileges as the English College, Rome and was one of the Pontifical Colleges in the sense of being centrally controlled from Rome, one of the substantial group of institutions set up with the aim of maintaining the Catholic faith in England, Ireland, and Scotland. The moving force behind the foundation was the priest William Newman (1577-1640), though he never became head of the College. Newman had been entrusted with property from the estate of the late Nicholas Ashton, a Catholic chaplain in Lisbon. Initial progress was slow after a papal brief of Pope Gregory XV in 1622, with only a church erected on property given by Coutinho, who also gave endowment. Richard Smith, the Catholic bishop in England, took a hand and sent one of his archdeacons, Joseph Haynes (also Hynes, Harvey). The foundation was supported by the arrival of group of students and teachers from the English College, Douai in 1628, the first president being Haynes. Haynes, however, then died quite suddenly, shortly after the college opened in 1629. The second president was Thomas White, alias Blacklow, with William Clifford as vice-president. He was at the College for three years from 1630. His rules for its governance brought it under the Bishop of Chalcedon (the title used at the time by the Catholic bishop in England). Pursuing further funding and students in England, he was dissatisfied at the results and resigned. .

Catholic Record Society: St. Gregory's College, Seville, 1592-1767, Volume 73

London, Catholic Record Society, 1992. First Edition. Hardcover. Blue cloth. vIii, 223p. Bottom edge bumped. Otherwise, book is tight, clean, and in very good condition. The Catholic Record Society (Registered Charity No. 313529), "the premier Catholic historical society in the United Kingdom", founded in 1904, is a scholarly society devoted to the study of Reformation and post-Reformation Catholicism in England and Wales. Particularly active members in its early years were Joseph Gillow, J. H. Pollen, and Joseph S. Hansom. The society was initially established as a text publication society, with the aim of publishing Catholic historical records. Only later did it become a more general historical society. It has been credited with making much otherwise obscure archival material more readily available. This book contains Murphy's historical introduction to St. Gregory's, followed by the student register. The English College of St Gregory was a Roman Catholic seminary in Seville, Spain. It was founded by the English Jesuit Robert Persons in 1592, when Roman Catholicism was illegal in England, to provide his native country with priests. The dedication of the college to St Gregory recalls the Gregorian mission of AD 596. In 1596, in Seville, Persons wrote Memorial for the Reformation of England, concerning how England might be returned to the Roman Catholic faith. The institution was short of funds, but it was supported by the Jesuits until the order was expelled from Spain in 1767. Its assets were then transferred to the English College, Valladolid, which had also been founded by Persons. This continued to function under the protection of the Spanish crown. .
