Nicholas Wiseman, cardinal and archbishop of Westminster, was born on 2 August 1802 in Seville. Following the death of his father, James, his mother moved with Nicholas, and his brother James, to Ireland, where they were placed in a boarding
school near Waterford. In March 1810, they were enrolled in St Cuthbert's College, Ushaw where Nicholas was singled out for special attention by John Lingard, who served briefly as vice-president and then acting president of the college. In the
autumn of 1818, Wiseman was part of a contingent of ten English students sent to the English College in Rome (the first English students to enrol since its ransacking by the French revolutionary army in 1798). He was ordained there in 1825 and
appointed to the position of rector only three years later. In the same year he published his first major work,
Horae Syriacae which established his scholarly reputation. Pope Leo XII was influential in Wiseman being awarded a professorship in the Roman (later the Pontifical Gregorian) University. He was elected to the Royal
Asiatic Society and in 1831 was made an honorary member of the Royal Society of Literature. During the 1830s, Wiseman spent a great deal of time in England and joined Daniel O'Connell and Michael Joseph Quinn in establishing a Catholic quarterly
magazine, the
Dublin Review. In 1840 he was elevated to the episcopate as bishop in
partibus infidelium of Melipotamus. He was also appointed coadjutor to Bishop Walsh, now vicar apostolic
of the new central district, and president of Oscott College near Birmingham, attracting the attention of John Henry Newman and others associated with the Oxford Movement. Five years later, it was to be Wiseman who confirmed Newman in Oscott chapel.
In 1847, Wiseman was influential in persuading Pope Pius IX to restore the hierarchy in England and Wales. This was re-established three years later. Consequently Wiseman, who was then vicar apostolic of the London District, was elevated to the
status of archbishop of Westminster. In spite of a tendency towards controversy, Wiseman's achievements as archbishop included founding an Academia of the Catholic Religion in 1861 and encouraging Herbert Vaughan in the establishment of a college
for training foreign missionaries, an effort that led to the foundation of the College of St Joseph, Mill Hill. Wiseman died on 15 February 1865 at his London home in Portman Square.
Papers of Nicholas Wiseman, including correspondence covering most of the major events of Wiseman's life, from his early years as an academic scholar to his elevation to the archbishopric of Westminster. The papers are particularly rich in
Catholic affairs and chart the growth of the Catholic religion during the early and mid-nineteenth century. Other papers include a volume of letters received by Wiseman from various popes and notable European Catholic monarchs, series of lectures,
sermons, articles and notes on various aspects of theology and church history, as well as a series of papers originally owned by the Rev William Thompson of Esh Laude detailing his relationship with Wiseman.
