CARVE, THOMAS. - Irish prelate and historian, b. at Mobeman in County Tipperary in 1590, d. around 1672. Initially chaplain of an Irish regiment in the service of Ferdinand II of Austria, he was appointed in 1640 chaplain-general of all English, Irish and Scottish forces in the imperial armies.
His most remembered work is the Itinerarium (part 1, 1639; 2nd, 1641; 3rd, 1646). Written "under the tents of war," as he said in the dedication to the Marquis of Ormonde, it is a rich source of information and news about the Thirty Years' War. Reprinted in London in 1859 in an edition of only 102 copies, it is now very rare, as are all his other minor writings, among which is also a history of Ireland from 1148 to 1650.
