Edward J. Quigley

Born in Killeevan, County Monaghan, Edward Quigley was ordained in 1897 as a priest of the Diocese of Clogher. He contributed to theological and religious journals and wrote several devotional and instructional works.

His best-known book is The Divine Office: A Study of the Roman Breviary, a detailed guide to the history, structure, and use of the Roman Breviary. The book remained widely available long after its original publication and has continued to find readers through public-domain editions.

Reliable biographical details on his life appear to be limited in the sources I could confirm, so this overview focuses on the parts of his career that are clearly documented: his clerical work, his religious writing, and the lasting readership of his study of the Divine Office.
