Description

Thaddeus was a fi fteenth-century bishop of Cork who was honoured in both Ireland and Italy.

He led a remarkable life - he was made bishop twice, and was beatifi ed in 1895 - but is now all but forgotten. In Searching for Thaddeus, art historian Patricia Curtin-Kelly tells the tale of this re markable man, and discusses the many works of art - found mainly in churches acro ss County Cork and in Ivrea, Italy - that bear witness to the high esteem in which he was held.

Searching for Thaddeus features numerous photographs of the remarkable artworks which celebrate "Blessed Thaddeus" - painti ngs, stained-glass windows and reliquaries - and the churches in which they can be seen.

It is a highly read able book about a remarkable son of Cobh.
