Benedict / Alexia Grey, trans. 330 $aAt a time when England was an officially Protestant country to translate Catholic works, thereby helping to propagate the faith, was a brave act and to actually identify oneself in print, as did Cary, as 'a Catholique, and a woman' was a risky assertion of political opposition. One of Cary's daughters asserts that Cary's translation of Cardinal Du Perron's Reply was largely motivated by a desire to convert scholars at Oxford and Cambridge. With her translation in 1630 she sought to reactivate a polemical war which had peaked in 1616 and she intervened in political debate that was far from resolved, and that would issue in revolution, regicide and restoration in the years to come. Although few copies escaped the burning ordered by Archbishop Abbot, at least ten survive. The copy reproduced here is from Cambridge University. Alexia Grey (baptised Margaret) joined the monastery of the Immaculate Conception in Ghent in 1629 at the age of twenty two or three. Hers was not the first translation of Benedict's Rule but by that time a 'reformation' and more than a century had rendered earlier translations unavailable. Her work was an important contribution to sustaining conventual life for Englishwomen abroad. Grey's translation is sometimes bound, as in this volume, with Statutes compyled for the better observation of the holy rule of S. Benedict. The fine copy reproduced here is from the Downside Abbey in Bath. 410 0$aEarly modern Englishwoman.$pPrinted writings, 1500-1640,$nSeries 1, Part 2 ;$vVolume 13. 606 $aChurch and state$zEngland 606 $aLoyalty oaths$zEngland 606 $aCatholics$zEngland 606 $aChurch and state$zFrance 606 $aCatholics$zFrance 606 $aLoyalty oaths$zFrance 615 0$aChurch and state 615 0$aLoyalty oaths 615 0$aCatholics 615 0$aChurch and state 615 0$aCatholics 615 0$aLoyalty oaths 676 $a274.2/06 701 2$aBenedict$cSaint, Abbot of Monte Cassino.$0403373 701 $aCarey$b Elizabeth$cLady,$f-1618.$01211012 701 $aCullen$b Patrick$f1940-$0198021 701 $aDolan$b Frances E$g(Frances Elizabeth),$f1960-$01030478 701 $aGray$b Alexia$01014093 701 $aTravitsky$b Betty$f1942-$0221137 701 2$aDu Perron$b Jacques Davy$f1556-1618.$0160366 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154874603321 996 $aRecusant translators$92795053 997 $aUNINA
