In 1592 the mayor of Dublin granted the site of All Hallows to Adam Loftus, archbishop of Dublin, Provost of Queen Elizabeth's College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity. James Ussher (1625–56), Archbishop of Armagh, whose most important works were "Veterum Epistolarum Hibernicarum Sylloge", published in 1632, and "Brittanicarum Ecclesiarum Antiquitates", which appeared in 1639, left his valuable library, comprising several thousand printed books and manuscripts, to Trinity College, Dublin, and his complete works were published by that institution in twenty-four volumes. In the 1700's the area to the NE of the quadrangle was divided into a large Square, called Library Square (Simpson, L 2002, 195-236).
