Refugees, religion and diplomacy in early modern Europe

这个项目调查了在亨利八世与罗马决裂后的一个半世纪中，天主教流亡者和难民在英罗马外交中的作用。它结合了早期现代外交和天主教拒绝者的文献，利用了PRO 31/9和31/10中罗马图书馆163卷未编录的抄本的非凡资源，其中包括教皇官员的大量信件，罗马和杜埃英语学院的文件，以及许多流亡者的信件。探索个人、机构和调解人在外交中的角色，该项目评估了他们在16世纪和17世纪关键转折点的活动。

This project investigates the agency of Catholic exiles and refugees in Anglo-Roman diplomacy in the strained century-and-a-half following Henry VIII's break with Rome. It bridges the literatures on early modern diplomacy and Catholic recusants, drawing on the extraordinary resource of the 163 volumes of uncatalogued transcripts from Roman libraries in PRO 31/9 and 31/10, which include extensive correspondence from papal officials, documentation from the English Colleges in Rome and Douai, and many letters from exiles. Exploring the roles of individuals, institutions and mediators in diplomacy, the project assesses their activities at key turning points in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
