The Book of Trinity College Dublin 1591–1891 is a tercentenary history of Ireland’s most famous university, founded by royal charter under Queen Elizabeth I. The volume records the college’s three centuries of growth, its buildings, its distinguished members, and its place in Irish and British intellectual life.
From its Elizabethan origins through the upheavals of Irish history, the college’s story is bound up with the Crown that established it. The book is both an institutional history and a celebration, richly furnished with detail on the foundation’s royal beginnings. This free EPUB download preserves the complete commemorative volume.
