On Wednesday 14 November the Irish Manuscripts Commission launched the latest volume in the Calendar of Papal Registers series. This volume – No. 23, Part 1 – covers the papacy of Clement VII. The volume, edited for publication by Dr Alan Macquarrie, was launched at a magnificent reception hosted by the Irish Ambassador to the Holy See, His Excellency Mr Derek Hannon. Pictured right are: (Top) IMC Chair, Professor John McCafferty with the display of CPR volumes published by IMC since 1970 and some other related works which was prepared by Monsignor Charles Burns; (middle) the Vatican Librarian and Archivist, His Excellency The Most Reverend José Tolentino Mendonça, talking with Ambassador Hannon; and (bottom) members of the CPR Editorial Board (Professor Eamon Duffy, Monsignor Charles Burns and Professor John McCafferty) with the editor, Dr Alan Macquarrie.
