Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of the proceedings and decisions arising out of a general chapter of the Dominican order held in Avignon in 1561. General chapters were regular assemblies of leaders from across the Dominican order that provided an opportunity to discuss and debate a wide range of topics of fundamental importance to the order. The decrees, confirmations, and reformations recorded in this book provide valuable insights into the operation and concerns of the Dominican order in the sixteenth century, including but not limited to the role of the order's Master General, the responsibilities of provincial leaders, and their respective duties to the friars of their jurisdiction. The book also speaks to the need for reform and renewed discipline, offering unique insight into the challenges facing the Catholic Church and its religious orders during this turbulent period of church history.
