The idea of foundation, originating with Pope Gregory XIII, was revived, 1625, by the Irish bishops in an address to Pope Urban VIII. Founded, 1628, by Cardinal Ludovisi, it became known as the nursery of bishops; in 1798 it was closed by order of Napoleon, but revived by brief of Pope Leo XII, 1826. The present building dates from 1835.
