St. Joseph in Italian Renaissance Society and Art
"Detecting numerous occasions when Joseph is invoked for protection from plague, foreign invasion, and threat to the Church, the author emphasizes the contemporary currency - in both theology and art - of the Maria-Ecclesia typology and concomitant conceptualization of St. Joseph as heroic protector of Mary and the Church. Here challenged are the long-held view of the saint's unimportance prior to the Counter Reformation and old assumption that pre-Tridentine images were often intended to demean him."--BOOK JACKET.
Joseph of Nazareth Through the Centuries
"A profusely illustrated book of collected essays by a distinguished group of international scholars.

Satire, Veneration, and St. Joseph in Art, C. 1300-1550
Satire, Veneration, and St. Joseph in Art, c. 1300.1550 is the first book to reclaim satire as a central component of Catholic altarpieces, devotional art, and veneration, moving beyond humor's relegation to the medieval margins or to the profane arts alone. The book challenges humor's perception as a mere teaching tool for the laity and the antithesis of 'high' veneration and theology, a divide perpetuated by Counter-Reformation thought and the inheritance of Mikhail Bakhtin (Rabelais and His World, 1965). It reveals how humor, laughter, and material culture played a critical role in establishing St. Joseph as an exemplar in western Europe as early as the thirteenth century. Its goal is to open a new line of interpretation in medieval and early modern cultural studies by revealing the functions of humor in sacred scenes, the role of laughter as veneration, and the importance of play for pre-Reformation religious experiences.
Art, Controversy, and the Jesuits
"On September 27, 1540, an international band of ten young priests led by Ignatius of Loyola received from Pope Paul III...official approval for their new religious order, the Society of Jesus. The new order grew at an amazing pace....By the year of its centenary, 1640, the Society could boast remarkable achievements....Not surprisingly, therefore, in 1640, Jesuit provinces around the world entered enthusiastically into celebration of the centenary....This, then, was the occasion for publication at Antwerp by the Jesuits of the Flemish province of the Imago primi saeculi Societatis Iesu."--Page 11.
