Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a critical evaluation of the Roman Martyrology, a liturgical text listing the saints commemorated by the Catholic Church, with a focus on the revisions made under Pope Gregory XIII and Pope Urban VIII. The author examines the historical context and motivations behind these revisions, shedding light on the complex interplay between scholarship, piety, and ecclesiastical authority in the shaping of the Martyrology. Through meticulous analysis of primary sources and scholarly literature, this book contributes to our understanding of the evolution of the Martyrology and the criteria employed in determining which saints are included or excluded. It also explores the broader implications of these revisions for the study of hagiography and the history of the Church. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between the French monarchy and the Roman Catholic Church during a period of religious and political turmoil in the late 16th century. The author examines the complex interplay of papal authority, royal power, and the evolving religious landscape of France. The book analyzes the monarchy's efforts to maintain control over the Catholic Church within its borders while navigating the challenges posed by the Protestant Reformation. It highlights the role of Cardinal Alessandro de' Medici, the papal legate to France, in mediating between the French crown and the Holy See. Through a close examination of primary sources, the author brings to life the various perspectives and motivations of the key players involved in this historical drama. The book sheds light on the diplomatic negotiations, political maneuvers, and theological debates that shaped the relationship between church and state during a pivotal era in French history. Ultimately, the book argues that the monarchy's successful assertion of its authority over the French Catholic Church laid the foundation for the country's subsequent development as a centralized and predominantly Catholic nation.

Paris, Aux frais de la Société typographique des livres de l?Office ecclésiastique, 1664 ; 3 parties en 2 volumes in-folio, 6 ff.n.ch. + 212 + 2 ff.n.ch. + 207 pp. + 2 ff.n.ch. + 140 pp., plein veau blond ancien de la fin du XVIIe ou du début du XVIIIe siècle, triple filet doré en encadrement sur les plats, grand chiffre doré ?S. & F.? au centre des plats, dans une couronne de feuillages, dos à nerfs ornés de fleurons à la tulipe, petits fers, points et volutes dorés, pièces de titre et de tomaison de maroquin rouge, gardes de papier marbré, tranches dorées. Reliures frottées, avec usures et petits manques aux coiffes, mors et coins. Les 2 volumes. Belle et imposante édition parisienne du Pontificale Romanum de Clément VIII, révisé sous l?autorité d?Urbain VIII, publiée en 1664 par la Société typographique des livres de l?Office ecclésiastique, importante association de libraires-imprimeurs parisiens constituée par ordre du Roi. Le Pontificale Romanum rassemble les cérémonies solennelles dont l?accomplissement relève principalement de l?évêque. La première partie traite notamment des ordinations, de la consécration des évêques, de la bénédiction des abbés et abbesses et des couronnements royaux. Les suivantes réunissent les principaux rites de consécration et de bénédiction : églises, autels, cimetières, cloches, vases et ornements liturgiques, ainsi que diverses cérémonies épiscopales. L?édition est particulièrement remarquable par la qualité et le luxe de son exécution typographique, ainsi que par l?abondance de son illustration : un grand titre gravé par Michel van Lochom, 157 grandes vignettes gravées sur cuivre dans le texte et quelque 90 grandes lettrines gravées. Véritable mise en images du cérémonial, ces compositions représentent avec précision les ordinations, consécrations épiscopales et monastiques, couronnements du roi et de la reine, consécrations d?églises et d?autels, bénédictions et autres fonctions pontificales. La première partie comporte à elle seule 69 grandes scènes, dont plusieurs signées Léonard Gaultier et une Picquet. De nombreuses pages présentent en outre la notation en plain-chant des parties chantées des cérémonies. Les pages 67 à 70 du second tome sont entièrement manuscrites, en imitation exacte des pages imprimées, dont elles reproduisent fidèlement le texte et la mise en page ; un espace a été laissé vierge à l?emplacement d?une gravure. Cette intervention paraît avoir été réalisée au moment de la reliure. Cachets de bibliothèques ecclésiastiques sur les titres, initiales « S. & F. » à l?encre sur le titre. Bon exemplaire, hormis les défauts d?usage signalés à la reliure. 1664.…

220 x 350 (8 5/8 x 13 3/4"). Single column, 25 lines, in a papal chancery hand. Elaborate lettering all across top line of text, especially the first initial, and at lower right corner. Lower margin with several signatures in ink; verso with brief notes in ink; remains of hemp tie for appended seal (which has been cut away). Soft creases from folding (four vertical, one horizontal), a handful of letters obscured (apparently intentionally) in the first and second lines, very minor soiling to recto (the verso, being the hair side, with overall darkening, as usual), but generally in excellent condition, the script being done in a strong hand with intriguing scribal flourishes. This Papal Bull grants a marriage dispensation between Centio(?) Balzani and Margarite Brancazze, setting aside the impediment of consanguinity. Like others of its kind, the document takes its name from the lead seals, called "bullae," that were issued with official documents of the papacy (lacking in the present example) as a way of ensuring their authenticity. Apart from the very rare Solemn Privilege (like Innocent III's famous granting of England in 1214 to his involuntary vassal King John), there are three categories of Papal Bulls: Simple Privileges (also called Solemn Letters), Letters of Grace (which confirm privileges and rights, but are somewhat smaller), and Mandates, which are differentiated by their use of hemp ties as opposed to silk, as is the case here. An online search finds nothing about the couple named in the bull, but the document reveals that they were petitioning for a dispensation because they fell into the third and fourth degrees of consanguinity, meaning that they shared at least one common ancestor. Although marrying within four degrees of consanguinity was prohibited by the church, it was not uncommon for the Holy See to issue dispensations allowing such marriages to take place--particularly for the privileged classes. Two place names have been erased on this document, obscuring both the name of the archbishop to whom the bull is addressed, and the residence of Margarite. However, we acquired this document along with two similar bulls relating to Naples, and it would seem likely that the present item relates to the same city (we can see that both obscured names begin with an "N"). Pope Clement VIII (born Ippolito Aldobrandini, 1536-1605), led the Catholic Church from 1592 until his death. He is known for presiding over the final phase of the Counter-Reformation, approving the revised Vulgate Bible, and mediating peace between France and Spain, including the reconciliation of King Henry IV of France with the Catholic Church.…
