Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Embassy in Ireland of Monsignor G. B. Rinuccini, Archbishop of Fermo, in the Years 1645-1649: Published From the Original Mss, in the Rinuccini Library
Among the mss. In the Rinuccini library this work exists, with the title, De haeresis Anglicanas in Hiberniam intrusione et progressu et de bello Catholico ad annum 1641, capto, exindeque per aliquot annos, gesto commentarius. It is in six vols. Folio, with pages numbered from 1 to Of this History, a copy exists in the library of the Earl of Leicester, at Holkham, in England - see the Transactions of the Royal Society of Literature, vol. Ii., p. Ii., page 358, London, 1834, where it is incorrectly attributed to Monsignor Rinuccini. The writer, in fact, towards the end acknowledges that he had compiled it at Florence from authentic documents collected by the nuncio with the intention of writing the history himself, had not death intervened in the year 1653. Some persons believe this commentary, written in good Latin, to be the work of Thomas Coke, the learned editor Of Dempster's Etruria Regale. I cannot prove or disprove this Opinion, but this I know, that the Rinuccini ms. Is the original autograph and, from the preface written by Arch. M. Salvini, it is evident that the nuncio intended it for publication. The char acter of the handwriting of the commentary is assuredly not Italian, and suggests the probability of its being the work of some learned Irish monk.
