Irish Voices from the Spanish Inquisition

Thomas O'Connor teaches history in Maynooth University, Ireland. He has authored several works on the Irish abroad, including a book on Irish Jansenists, and edited or co-edited four volumes of essays on the Irish in Europe. Currently co-editing two collections on Catholic colleges abroad, he is editor of Archivium Hibernicum and directs Maynoooth's Irish in Europe Project.

"This book accomplishes the admirable feat of both illuminating a topic that remains obscure and using well-known sources in surprisingly new ways. ... this is a very important book that helps establish a framework for future research. It is without a doubt a must-read for students of early modern history and the history of migration more generally." (Freddy C. Dominguez, Irish Theological Quarterly, Vol. 82 (2), May, 2017)
