Description
The Clonmel Minute Book records details of the town’s administration between 1608 and 1649. Through it we can see the town’s institutions and their workings, its officers and their operations, and the various groups of people that made up the community. It also sets out the arrangements for the defence of the town during the civil wars of the mid-seventeenth century. The edition adds greatly to our understanding of urban communities in early modern Ireland.
