Hibernia Dominicana
The first Dominican friars in Ireland arrived in 1224. To mark the 800th centenary of this event, we have compiled an open-access resource for Irish Dominican history, including many rare and out-of-print works. It is our hope that this database, which will be expanded over time, will stimulate a new wave of research on the long and varied story of the Irish Dominicans.
