Roaring Lions and Angry Birds
This article examines how precious Italian manufactured fabrics with Oriental-inspired beast-fight patterns were traded across Europe, worked into liturgical textiles, and appeared on paintings with Christ’s Passion. The ferocious beast-fight motifs resonated with Christ’s violent fate and His ultimate death on the cross, as the motif is also found in the Scriptures and the texts of the liturgy. Interestingly, such patterns adorn the garments of …
Preserving Fragile Wisdom
Biblical Drama and Politically Incorrect Ideas in the Dutch Reformation Era
Chambers of Rhetoric in Flanders, Brabant, Holland and Zeeland opened themselves up to the new religious ideas, especially in the 1530s. These were discussed among their members and the Scriptures were read and conversed upon. The results of their reflections were written down and performed in allegorical plays ( spelen van sinne ), biblical plays, refrains and songs. In this essay particular attention will be paid to how the staging of biblical …
Authority Revisited
In the year 1516, two crucial texts for the cultural history of the West saw the light: Desiderius Erasmus?s 'Novum Instrumentum' and Thomas More?s 'Utopia'. Both of these works dealt freely with authoritative sources of Western civilization and opened new pathways of thought on the eve of far-reaching religious and political changes.00This book volume deals with aspects of the content, reception and influence of 'Novum Instrumentum' and 'Utopia'…

The Antwerpian Printer Jacob van Liesvelt, his Widow, and their Bibles
Jacob van Liesvelt, an Antwerpian printer, was executed in 1545 for publishing without the consent of the authorities. His sad story has been retold throughout the centuries. In an early Protestant tradition, it was argued that Van Liesvelt died because of certain Reformation-minded marginal notes contained in the Bible of 1542, an argument that has been continuously elaborated upon over the years, giving rise to the myth of Van Liesvelt as the m…

The Council of Trent: Reform and Controversy in Europe and Beyond (1545-1700)
Exactly 450 years after the solemn closure of the Council of Trent on 4 December 1563, scholars from diverse regional, disciplinary and confessional backgrounds convened in Leuven to reflect upon the impact of this Council, not only in Europe but also beyond. Their conclusions are to be found in these three impressive volumes. Bridging different generations of scholarship, the authors reassess in a first volume Tridentine views on the Bible, theo…

Biblical Scholarship and the Church
Het voorwoord bij de 'Leuvense bijbel' van Nicholaus van Winghe (1548)
In September 1548, the so-called Dutch 'Louvain Bible' was issued. It was translated from the Latin Vulgate by Nicholaus Van Winghe, under the supervision of the Louvain theologians. In its extensive prologue, Van Winghe offers a good summary of the theologians' (and particularly John Driedo's) position as regards the relation between Bible and Tradition, and the legitimacy of reading the Bible in vernacular translations. In several passages, Van…

Cet article propose une étude des différentes positions de l'humaniste de Leipzig, Petrus Mosellanus, et du théologien de Louvain, Jacobus Latomus (1518-19). Le premier avance que l'homme peut se rapprocher du mystère de Dieu par l'étude des Écritures saintes, alors…
