Trinity College Dublin (Irish: Coláiste na Tríonóide, Bhaile Átha Cliath), abbreviated as Trinity or TCD, and officially titled The College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin,[22] is the sole constituent college of the University of Dublin in the Republic of Ireland.[23] Founded by Queen Elizabeth I in 1592 through a royal charter,[24][25] it is one of the seven original "ancient universities" of Great Britain and Ireland.[26] During the following centuries, Trinity contributed to the flourishing of Irish literature during the Georgian and Victorian eras, in addition to areas of the natural sciences, medicine, and law.[27][28][29][30]

Functionally largely synonymous with the University of Dublin,[31] Trinity was founded to consolidate the rule of the Tudor monarchy in Ireland, with its first Provost, Adam Loftus, christening it after his alma mater, Trinity College, Cambridge.[32][33] Built on the site of the former Priory of All Hallows demolished by King Henry VIII, it was the Protestant university of the Ascendancy ruling elite for two centuries,[34][35][32] and thus was associated with social elitism for most of its history.[36][37][38] Academically, Trinity has three faculties comprising 25 schools.[39] The Royal Irish Academy of Music and the Lir Academy are affiliated institutions.[40][41] Trinity College Dublin is one of the two sister colleges of both Oriel College, Oxford, and St John's College, Cambridge,[42] and through mutual incorporation, graduates of the three universities can conditionally be conferred with Oxon, Cantab, et Dubl academic degrees.[43][44][45][46]

The college contains several landmarks such as the Campanile, the GMB, and The Rubrics,[47] as well as the historic Old Library. Trinity's legal deposit library serves both Ireland and the United Kingdom, and has housed the Book of Kells since 1661, the Brian Boru harp since 1782, and a copy of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic since 1916.[48] A major destination in Ireland's tourism,[49] the campus receives over two million visitors annually,[50] and has been used as a location in movies and novels.[51] The university was also involved in the First World War,[52] noticeably in the Defence of Gallipoli at the Dardanelles.[53][54][55]

Trinity is known for its rigor in literature;[56][57] it has produced some of history's foremost literary figures, including Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, Bram Stoker, Samuel Beckett, J. S. Le Fanu, and Oliver Goldsmith, as well as the writers of the Game of Thrones series. Trinity researchers invented the steam turbine, the hypodermic needle, and linear algebra, discovered clofazimine and avermectin, and performed the first artificial nuclear reaction and nuclear transmutation. Alumni and faculty include 56 Fellows of the Royal Society, 14 Chief Justices of the Supreme Court, 28 Lord Chancellors of Ireland, 6 Copley Medalists, 8 Nobel Laureates, and 63 Olympians,[58][59] along with 79 Fulbright Scholars,[60] 65 Mitchell Scholars,[61] 152 Laidlaw Scholars,[62] and 8 Schwarzman Scholars.[63]

The name is, of course, a reference to the Christian doctrine that defines God as three consubstantial entities (via a tribute to Trinity College, Cambridge).
    The Trinity was the patron of The Dublin Guild Merchant, primary instigators of the foundation of the University, the arms of which guild are also similar to those of the College.
