Visitatio Ecclesie S. Isidori Die 25 Augusti 1628. La fabbrica dei Frati Minori irlandesi a Roma (pp. 599-606)

Description

Sommario

This short note is part of a larger project which aims at studying in depth the 17th century history of the Roman Collegio S. Isidoro, founded in 1622 by Spanish Discalced Franciscans and occupied since 1625 by their Irish confrères, headed by Luke Wadding. It is the report of the Apostolic Visitation of 1628, transcribed in the article, which provides the very first description of the church and community at St Isidore’s at this early stage. Initiated by Pope Clement VIII between 1592 and 1600, the Apostolic Visitation of churches, colleges and religious communities in the diocese of Rome resumed in 1624, on behalf of Pope Urban VIII, by the newly established Sacred Congregation of the Apostolic Visitation and its personnel.
