Description
In 1663, six years after Luke Wadding’s death, the Roman Collegio S. Isidoro had to undergo an Apostolic Visitation. The remaining acts not only show how the material construction of the church and friary had progressed since its foundation in 1622. The investigation also reveals deep dissent among the friars: on one hand, the Irish provinces were not equally represented among the leadership of the college; on the other hand, Wadding’s epigones, Francis O’Molloy and Francis Harold, seem to have polarized the community. The texts are transcribed from the copy preserved in the Vatican Secret Archives.
