Anthony Bruodin
Anthony Bruodin or Bruodine (died 1680) was an Irish Franciscan writer. He wrote works of theology, and compiled materials on Early Modern Catholic martyrology that have been criticised as exaggerated and unreliable.[1]
Life
Bruodin was born in County Clare. He became a Recollect friar and jubilate lecturer of divinity in the Irish convent of the Holy Conception of the Blessed Virgin at Prague.[2]
Works
Bruodin wrote:[2]
- Œcodomia Minoriticæ Scholæ Solamonis, Johannia Duns Scoti, sive Universæ Theologiæ Scholasticæ Manualis Summa, Prague, 1663.
- Corolla Œcodomiæ Minoriticæ Scholæ Salamonis, Doctoris subtilis; sive pars altera Manualis Summæ totius Theologiæ Speculativæ, Prague, 1864.
- Propugnaculum Catholicæ Veritatis, Pars prima Historica, in quinque libros distributa, Prague, 1668. In its fifth book he attacked Lyra Hibernica by the Irish historian Thomas Carve, in a chapter De Carve seu Carrani erroribus et imposturis. This provoked from Carve the Enchiridion Apologeticum, Nuremberg, 1670. In answer to this a tract Anatomicum Examen Enchiridii was published at Prague in 1671, by Bruodine under the pseudonym Cornelius O'Mollony.[1] A final work in the controversy was the Responsio Veridica by Carve (Sulzbach, 1682).[3]
- Armamentarium Theologicum, Prague.
Inaccuracies have been found in Bruodin's work on Irish martyrs.[4]
The author Antonius Prodinus has been taken to be Bruodin; he wrote Descriptio Regni Hiberniæ, Sanctorum Insulæ, et de prima origine miseriarum & motuum in Anglia, Scotia, et Hibernia, regnante Carolo primo rege, printed at Rome, 1721, under the editorship of the exiled son of Phelim O'Neill.[2]
