Description
First edition of this rare translation of the pseudo-Augustinian Meditationum Liber, an eleventh-century devotional text very popular in the Middle Ages.The translator, John Martin, was an Augustinian friar who became a fervent activist within the Society of United Irishmen. His political conversion (and this book) coincided with the outbreak of the rebellion of 1798, in which he took a number of increasingly dangerous commissions from the Dublin United Irish Committee, but he has been largely neglected in the historiography of the rebellion; his stance suited neither loyalists nor rebel apologists, and he remains an enigmatic figure.Daire Keogh, '"The most dangerous villain in society"; Fr. John Martin's Mission to the United Irishmen of Wicklow in 1798', Eighteenth-Century Ireland, 7, (1992), pp. 115-135.ESTC records copies at the British Library, National Library of Ireland, and Illinois only.
