Trent and Beyond: The Council, Other Powers, Other Cultures

Product Description

The Council of Trent, studied for centuries as a crucial episode in European history, was also a world event. This book highlights the importance of not only looking at Europe through the lens of the Tridentine decrees, but also of looking across the oceans where the Church - and the legislative texts from the Council of Trent - can be seen for the first time as truly a universal body.

Review

"This hefty volume is aimed largely at graduate students and scholars of history, and will also be of interest to specialists in theology, literature, and the study of material culture. [...]Catto and Prosperi are to be congratulated on providing scholars with a valuable set of essays on disparate topics, written by eminent scholars of several generations and nationalities." --Kathleen Comerford, Georgia Southern University, Reading Religion, 4.27.2018
