Donatus Mooney, OFM was elected Provincial of the Irish Franciscan Province in 1615 and in that capacity he conducted a vistitation of Francisan houses in Ireland between 1615 and 1616. He wrote his account in Louvain between 1617 and 1618. The work was bound by Anthony Purcell, OFM, who in 1617 was a young student at St Anthony's College, Louvain. The English translation of the text appeared in the Franciscan Tertiary (1894–1896); the translator of this text is signed as "L" but a full name is not recorded in the journal. A full Latin edition of the text was published by Brendan Jennings, OFM in 1934.
