Patrick Delany (1685/6–1768), an Irishman, attended school at Trinity College in 1701 and was elected scholar in 1704.[1] He went on to get his Masters in 1709 and he began preparing for ordination.[2] By 1728, he had received the chancellorship for the Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin and later added St. Patrick’s, the second-largest cathedral in Dublin.[3] In 1744, he accepted an appointment as the dean of Downs where Delany tried to rectify the wickedness he saw among the people—gambling; excess eating, drinking, and dress; cheating; avarice; and pride.[4] Delany died at Bath, in England, at the age of 82, and was buried in Glasnevin graveyard in Ireland.[5]
The writer of many tracts and pamphlets, Delany composed The Doctrine of Abstinence from Blood Defended to explain his reasoning in support of vegetarianism.[6] Delany examines several Bible verses beginning with the story of Noah’s Ark to express his belief that abstinence from blood is clarified in the Bible.[7] Knowing his subject was unpopular, he even states in the preface that this pamphlet will go against many theological views, and that many scholars will disagree completely.[8]
