Maynooth College 1795-1995 by Patrick J Corish
Maynooth College was founded in 1795 when revolutionary developments in Europe had closed the continental seminaries. Maynooth rapidly developed into a seminary larger than any that had existed before. By 1853, it was claimed that more than half the priests of Ireland had been educated at Maynooth. The continuing growth of the student body allowed it to develop university status. For two hundred years, therefore, Maynooth has played a pivitol role within the Catholic Church in Ireland often reflecting the political and social evolution of Ireland itself.
Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Maynooth College from 1947 to 1973 and of Modern History from 1873 to 1988, Monsignor Corish is a native of Wexford. He is author of 'The Irish Catholic Community','The Irish Catholic Experience', Editor and a contributor to 'A history of Irish Catholicism' and a contributor to 'A New History of Ireland'.
