an Irish divine of some celebrity, flourished in the College of St. Isidor at Rome, Italy, in the second half of the 17th century, as professor of theology. He wrote Sacra Theologia (Rome, 1666, 8vo): Lucerna Fidelium (1676, 8vo), a Roman Catholic Catechism in Irish: Grammatica Latino-Hibernica compendiata (1677,12mo). Shingel, who gives an abstract of the last work in his Archeaological Britannica, says that it was the most complete Irish grammar then extant, although imperfect as to syntax, etc. See Ware, Writers of Ireland, volume 2.
