The Canons and Decrees of the Sacred and Oecumenical Council of Trent
The Council of Trent was, perhaps, the most important of the modern General Councils of the Roman Catholic Church. This Council was authorized by the Pope Paul III and opened in the Austrian city of Trent, December 13, 1545. It lasted, with interruptions, until December 4, 1563. The Canons and Decrees of this Council are the church's own authorized confession of its faith and its discipline. The present edition of the above Canons and Decrees contained in this work is a verbatim reprint of the London edition of 1848 by the Roman Catholic Bishop J. Waterworth, without notes, additions or omissions of any kind. - Preface.
The Matter of Piety
The Matter of Piety provides the first in-depth study of Zoutleeuw’s exceptionally well-preserved pilgrimage church in a comparative perspective, and revaluates religious art and material culture in Netherlandish piety from the late Middle Ages through the crisis of iconoclasm and the Reformation to Catholic restoration. Analyzing the changing functions, outlooks, and meanings of devotional objects – monumental sacrament houses, cult statues and altarpieces, and small votive offerings or relics – Ruben Suykerbuyk revises dominant narratives about Catholic culture and patronage in the Low Countries. Rather than being a paralyzing force, the Reformation incited engaged counterinitiatives, and the vitality of late medieval devotion served as the fertile ground from which the Counter-Reformation organically grew under Protestant impulses.
