Historians Reconstruct Thousands of Medieval Documents Bombed in the Four Courts

Trinity College Dublin historians have reconstructed invaluable medieval documents destroyed during the bombardment of the Four Courts in 1922. Forty years' work by a team of researchers has led to the reconstruction of more than 20,000 hugely important government documents produced by the medieval chancery of Ireland. The Irish chancery letters are now available again in a new publicly accessible and free internet resource known as CIRCLE: A Calendar of Irish Chancery Letters, c.1244--1509 www.tcd.ie/chancery.
