Catechismus Romanus ex Decreto Sacrosancti Concilii Tridentini Jussu Pii V. Pontificis Maximi Editus, in capita, §iones distinctus, variisq; SS. Patrum Sententiis, & utriusque tum novi, tum veteris testamenti auctoritatibus munitus, & omni cura emendatus. Cui etiam duo Indices adjecti: Alter erum rerum, quae ad Evangelia Dominicalia, & aliquot Festorum accommodari possunt. Alter earum, quae in toto opere continentur.
Bassani [Bassano del Grappa]: Ex Typographia Remondini. Superiorum Permissu, 1743.
8vo., bound in a 15th century Italian manuscript fragment, section taken from a New Testament Bifolium including a portion of St. Paul’s epistle to the Hebrews; the elegant black letter script rubricated in red and blue; pp. [ii, title], [iii], [lv, Index], 528; including twenty woodcut devices, to title and throughout; initials and head/tail pieces illustrating various religious scenes including the crucifixion; very clean both in and out, marginal creasing, browning, and the odd spot being the sole defects. Provenance: late 18th century inscription states that this previously belonged to the priory of Eugendorf in Germany. Additional 1960’s inscription in blue ink to front paste-down.
The Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church, here divided into 13 articles including two indexes, the Sunday gospels, and the feast days. This Latin translation was first authorised by the Council of Trent under Pope Pius V, and first published in 1566.
The Council of Trent began meeting in December 1545 under the instructions of Pope Paul III (pontificate 1534-49), to determine and define the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church against Protestant ‘heresies’, and to reform and renew the Church doctrinally and ecclesiologically in the light of recognised abuses. In its own words, the Council was called ‘for the increase and exaltation of the Christian faith and religion; for the extirpation of heresies’, and was celebrated under the sovereign pontiffs, Paul III, Julius III and Pius IV. Over two hundred and fifty bishops were present during the course of the twenty five sessions, after which it was agreed that a Catechism be published to answer the need for an authoritative statement to instruct priests and laity in the settled Catholic dogma. The Catechismus Romanus followed two years’ later, and was widely published throughout the remainder of the sixteenth century and beyond.
A charmingly-bound copy of the rites of the Catholic Faith.
