A precise roll-call of Ireland's cathedral leadership across generations. Essential reference for Irish clergy. Compiled by Henry Cotton in the nineteenth century, Fasti Ecclesiae Hibernicae traces the ecclesiastical succession Ireland relied upon for canonical continuity: a systematic register of bishops, deans, archdeacons and cathedral officers that serves as both a historical clergy directory and a corpus of cathedral clergy records. Often catalogued under cotton fasti ecclesiae, the work's sober, documentary approach makes it an indispensable Anglican church reference and a foundational source for Irish church history, Irish diocesan history and the Church of Ireland archives. Practical as well as scholarly, it aids genealogy research Ireland by linking names to dates and offices, while offering students and tutors in academic religious studies a reliable framework for understanding church leadership Ireland. Compact in purpose yet exhaustive in reach, the volume presents appointment chronologies and institutional notes that clarify parish connections, clerical careers and diocesan patterns. As a work of its time and of lasting consequence, Cotton's methodical compilation helped professionalise how clerical succession was recorded and remains a touchstone for students of nineteenth century Ireland. Casual readers curious about local history discover unexpected human narratives in the roll-call of offices; family historians can extract precise leads for ancestry and provenance; and classic-literature collectors prize an authoritative copy of such a foundational text. Succession lists and appointment chronologies from Cotton continue to inform biographical dictionaries, parish studies and diocesan monographs, providing scaffolding for deeper inquiry into clerical networks and institutional change. This restored Alpha Editions volume honours the original voice while making the material accessible to twenty-first-century readers. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A vital reference for contemporary study.
