Scope and content
Transcription of a book entitled 'Alithinologia sive Verdica Responsio ad Invectivam mendaciis, fal[l]aciis, calumniis et imposturis foetam in plurimos Antistites, Proceres, & omnis ordinis Hibernos…' (1664) by the Rev. John Lynch, Archdeacon of Tuam. The original book is in Stonyhurst, Lancashire, which is a defence of the Old English since the time of Elizabeth, particularly in the 1640s. Lynch was born in Galway c1600 and died between 1667 and 1673 in San Malo, Brittany. His most famous work is a three volume publication, 'Cambrensis Adversus'.
The first four pages of the transcription are in the handwriting of Fr John MacErlean SJ.; the transcription itself is in a different hand, possibly that of Fr Edmund Hogan SJ.
