S datary and confidential adviser of the pope Giberti had not http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ A enjoyed full opportunities for carrying out his aims, but as bishop of Verona his work possessed the element of permanence. To the historian of the religious movements of the time Giberti is deeply interesting, but to the end somewhat of a problem. On the one side he touches the new opinions of the age, the revived Auguatinian theology, the new fervour of love and devotion ; on the other he belongs to the party which triumphs in the council of Trent, the. party which combines sweeping reform in ecclesiastical at Brunel University on July 20, 2015 discipline with the most resolute attitude of opposition to heresy and all that seemed likely to endanger the unity of the catholic church. Giberti is mentioned by Caracciolo in his Vita Pavli IV. as one of the earliest members of the Oratory of Divine Lwe. This society first met during the pontificate of Leo X in the church of SS. Silvestro and Dorothea in the Traatevere, near the site of the ancient inn dedicated by Calixtus I to the service of the ' true God,' and the place where, according to tradition, St. Peter suffered martyr- dom. Amid the indifference and semi-paganism of the Roman curia and people a few earnest men, mourning over the loss of all religion, and seeing the handle thus given to the opponents of the church, burned to make their own religion fervent and deep, that they might stimulate others to follow their example. While the clergy were indifferent what hope was there of the laity ? Spiritual faculty could only develop through exercise. They met, therefore, to hear and discuss readings from the Scriptures, and to join in divine worship and prayer. Their starting-point for reform was, therefore, inward and spiritual. If men could only be stirred up to care for spiritual things, all elBe would come. The true remedy for the decay of religion must be positive rather than negative. Luther and Melanchthon, Colet and Erasmus all had thiB same fltarting-point, however different their ultimate goal. Men who 1903 GIAN MATTEO GIBERTI 267 diverged as profoundly afterwards as Gasparo Contarini and the future strenuous upholder of the Inquisition, Gian Pietro Caraffa, were fellow members now of this society.1 It seems probable that Giberti was one of the moving spirits in the formation of this society, for he gave it its name,' and Ballerini tells us that he had a strong bent for religion from his boyhood, since, as we noticed before, he was with difficulty prevented by his father from joining a religions order. The society quickly increased until it numbered fifty or sixty members, and found imitators in many other cities, such as Vicenza, Verona, and Naples. There were other signs of a religious movement in Leo X's reign, which stood quite apart Downloaded from from any revolt against authority, for it was at this time that Erasmus was bringing out at Basle his edition of St. Jerome's works and his Novum Instrumcntum, dedicated, with permission, to the pope himself. http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ It was two members of the Oratory of Divine Love who became the founders of the new Order of the Regular Clerks or ' Theatines,' aa they were at first called in derision, which received formal recognition in the second year of the pontificate of Clement VII. The first impulse came from Gaetano da Thiene, a scion of a noble family of Vicenza, but Gian Pietro Caraffa was the third member, and the first to be elected head of the order. The final step of procuring the papal diploma, by which the new society was at Brunel University on July 20, 2015 formally established, was hindered for some time by a certain part of the rule which enjoined living on alma and yet forbade mendi- cancy. In this difficulty Giberti proved a powerful friend, and on the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross his efforts were at last crowned with success, and a crowd assembled in the Vatican to hear the diploma of Clement VII recited before the most sacred and ancient altar of St. Peter's,' after which the fathers of the new order took their solemn vows and elected Caraffa as their first head. This morning (writes Sanga to Mentebuona on 14 Sept. 1524) the bishop of Chieti with three companions has taken the vows in St. Peter's— that is, to be vested as a priest, to keep the three vows, and to live to- gether as canons regular. May God give them perseverance; and if I believed I had it too perhaps you would see me run there one day. But those vows arc too difficult; yet to that of poverty I am well accustomed, and also to that of obedience, having been so many years in servitude. So that I should have to struggle with one alone, which is certainly in my belief the most difficult. 1 Contarini was certainly an early member, but not as early a one as Caracciolo states in his Vita Pauli IV^ for Dittrich (Oasparo Cotdarini, p. 215) shows that he did not know S&doleto, who was certainly one of the earliest members, before 1524. 1 Billerini, Vita Giberti, cap. L p. 5, prefixed to his edition of Giberti's works. 1 Caracclolo, Vila Pauli IV. p. 197. 268 OIAN MATTEO GIBERTI April Caracciolo tells us also that Giberti was very anxious to become a Theatine himself, but that neither the pope nor the Sacred College would allow him to withdraw from public affairs. The new order was quite after Giberti's heart. It was an attempt to meet the need of a cultivated and spiritual clergy, without which the laity could not be won back to religion. Their duties included preaching, visiting the sick, and administering the sacraments, and it was they who first began the custom of frequent communions. Thus the order of the Regular Clerks aimed at doing for the people at large what a few earnest men had tried to do for themselves in the Oratory of Divine Love.* Downloaded from There had been for some time a powerful undercurrent of revived religious feeling in Italy, which was partly the result and partly the cause of the study of the sacred texts in their original languages, which the classical revival had brought in its train." The Greek psalter and the Hebrew Bible had been published in http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ the fifteenth century, and we are told that Bembo's mother had attended readings from the Bible given by a doctor of theology at Bologna.6 A cry for reform in ecclesiastical dis- cipline, which was one symptom of this undercurrent, was being raised not only by German ' heretics,' by popes,7 and by re- ligious ecclesiastics themselves, such as Giberti, but by civil rulers. It was the count in command of the garrison of Naples who besought St. Cajetan to establish a branch of his new society in at Brunel University on July 20, 2015 that city, and it was the citizens of Verona, acting through the civil government of Venice, who begged Clement VII to appoint to their vacant diocese a man capable of carrying out the much-needed work of ecclesiastical reform. The papacy responded to this desire for reform by selecting such men as Caraffa, Gregorio Cortese and Fregoso, Giberti and Sadoleto, Morone and Contarini to fill vacant sees. It was in the August of 1524 that Giberti was most un- willingly compelled to accept the bishopric of Verona.8 His reluctance, it would seem, arose not from any dislike of episcopal work as such, but partly from a sense of his own unworthiness, for, * Mamenbrecher in his Oeschichte der katholischen Reformation (NOrdlingan, 1880), p. 280, calls it a seminary for bishops. * See Pastor's account of the religions spirit which accompanied what he calls the • true ' Renaissance, as manifested in private diaries and educational treatises: History of the Popes, vol. ii. (ed. Antrobus, 1891). ' See De Leva, Storia docum. di Carlo V, iii. 840. ' In 1460 Pins II even drew np a bnll to enforce his scheme of reform, bat it was never issued. Sixtas IV had drawn np a bnll on the same subject also, bat it had fallen to the ground, owing to the opposition of the Sacred College. See Pastor, iii. 275. * Lettered* Prmeypi, i. 124 (Venice, 1681), Giberti to the Florentine envoys at the imperial court, dated August 1524. He notifies his election and at the same time says that he has thus been obliged to refuse the see offered him by Francis I, as he ' could not hold two at once.' We have also his letter to the doge himself, Andrea Oritti, on the same occasion. 1908 OIAN MATTEO OIBERTI 269 like Gasparo Contarini, he had a very high ideal of what a bishop should be, and partly from an unwillingness to accept work which, since he would not be allowed to reside in the diocese, he could not perform to his own satisfaction. His first act after his elevation was to appoint Gian Battieta Mentebuona as his agent to proceed in the same month of August first to Venice and then to Verona to do all the necessary acts in his name with regard to taking posses- sion of the benefice.9 Mentebuona had already proved himself serviceable to the pope, and must have had a reputation for a good deal of tact, since he was chosen for the delicate mission to the marquis of Pescara at the time of the conspiracy of Girolamo Downloaded from Morone.

  • Printers and Power in Early Sixteenth-Century Rome
    chapter 8 The Rise of the Stampatore Camerale: Printers and Power in Early Sixteenth-Century Rome Paolo Sachet More than any other early modern power, the sixteenth-century Catholic Church is generally identified with a strict, if not reactionary policy towards printing. As part of its struggle against the Reformation, the papacy developed a vast and centralised system of ecclesiastical censorship. While it failed to be as universal as originally envisaged, it had serious ramifications on the culture of Catholic countries, beginning with Italy. An ever-growing number of studies is devoted to this subject, benefiting from the opening of the archive of the Roman Inquisition in 1998 and from the ground-breaking critical edition of the Indexes of Forbidden Books.1 By contrast, almost all of the Church’s attempts to harness printing as a means of communication in support of its own cause have been largely overlooked. This observation is especially true for the very heart of Catholicism, the city of Rome. In the capital of the Papal States, how- ever, cardinals and popes did employ local publishers to print an array of scholarly books to challenge Protestantism mostly in the patristic and histo- riographical fields. As I have illustrated elsewhere, these innovative attempts took place long before the establishment of the Typographia Vaticana in 1587.2 1 To cite only the most relevant contributions, see Gigliola Fragnito, La Bibbia al rogo: la cen­ sura ecclesiastica e i volgarizzamenti della Scrittura (1471–1605) (Bologna: Il Mulino, 1997), as well as her Proibito capire: la Chiesa e il volgare nella prima età moderna (Bologna: Il Mulino, 2005); Vittorio Frajese, Nascita dell’Indice: la censura ecclesiastica dal Rinascimento alla Controriforma (Brescia: Morcelliana, 2006); Peter Godman, The Saint as Censor: Robert Bellarmine between Inquisition and Index (Leiden/Boston: Brill, 2000); Ugo Rozzo, La lette­ ratura italiana negli Indici del Cinquecento (Udine: Forum, 2005).

  • Gian Matteo Giberti, Papal Politician' and Catholic Reformer
    24 Jan. Downloaded from Gian Matteo Giberti, Papal Politician' and Catholic Reformer. http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ PART I. IAN MATTEO GIBEETI, bishop of Verona, scholar and G stylist, patron of men of letters, ambassador, confidential adviser of a pope during a critical period in the history of the papacy and of Italy, bishop and reformer, is one of those men who were famous in their own generation but who have been forgotten by posterity. The veil of oblivion has fallen so closely round him that the historical reader knows him only through a few brief at University of California, San Diego on June 13, 2015 references in Tiraboschi, Eanke, and Gregorovius. Yet it may be not without interest to try to lift that veil and see the man as he appeared to his contemporaries. The father of Gian Matteo Giberti belonged to an ancient and wealthy Genoese family,1 and had probably led a stirring and adventurous life, for he was first captain of the Genoese galleys and afterwards entered the service of Julius II and Leo X. Of the bishop's mother we know nothing but the fact that Franco Giberti met her during a visit to Palermo, and that Gian Matteo was born there out of wedlock in 1495.1 We do not even know of what race she came, and the population of Palermo, in common with the rest of Sicily, was very mixed and included many GreekB. We imagine that she was a woman with a strong bent for religion, since the boy lived with her till his twelfth year, and even as a boy was noted for a rare earnestness.

  • Confraternal Gleanings from Post-Tridentine Piacenza: Bishop Paolo Burali D’Arezzo and the Confraternity of the Most Holy Sacrament
    Confraternal Gleanings from Post-Tridentine Piacenza: Bishop Paolo Burali d’Arezzo and the Confraternity of the Most Holy Sacrament Serena Quagliaroli1 Summary: This article focuses on the situation in the diocese of Piacenza during the episcopate of Paolo Burali d’Arezzo (r. 1568–1576) by placing his work within the post-Tridentine context. One of the most important objectives of the Church after the Council of Trent was the recovery of a closer relationship between the clergy and the faithful and it was pursued through the establishment and renewal of confraternities. In Piacenza, Bishop Burali encouraged the founding of many lay associations and took care to amend and revitalize existing ones, such as the Confraternity of the Most Holy Sacrament. For the one in the cathedral, documentary sources give us much useful information that allows us to speculate on the decorations (no longer extant) in the chapel dedicated to the Most Holy Sacrament executed by Giulio Mazzoni (1519–ca. 1590). Archival sources and local historical-artistical guidebooks allow us to propose a comparison between what Mazzoni achieved in Piacenza and Rome. This article offers a first glimpse into the situation in the diocese of Piacenza in the post-Tridentine period through an analysis of the city’s lay confraternities. The decision to use confraternities as privileged sub- jects of analysis is founded on the awareness of the growing importance that confraternity studies has enjoyed over the last few decades, espe- cially in the lively academic discussions carried

  • Gian Matteo Giberti>
    1908 489 Gian Matteo Giberti> Papal Politician and Catholic Reformer. PABX HE. f I \ H Hi subject of the reform of the church had engaged the JL attention of the papacy several times from the later part of the fifteenth century onwards. The question was discussed in the first consistory of Paul II, and under Pius II and SixtnB IV a project of reform took concrete shape, and was even embodied in a bull, which unhappily, owing to opposition in the Sacred College, was on neither occasion publicly issued. But in all these cases the reform intended was one in discipline and morals only. The papacy had grasped the idea that reform in these matters would take away from heretics matter for cavilling, and also be less dangerous if guided by the head of the church. But there was no idea of a change in doctrine or government. The fact, however, that Paul HI not only promoted men to the purple simply on a Consideration of merit, but chose men who believed in some of the cardinal doctrines of the Beformation, makes the reform begun by him demand our more serious attention. The first of the new cardinals promoted by Paul m was the learned and noble Venetian Gasparo Contarini, and others were subsequently proposed by him. In the autumn of 1585 Contarini informed Pole that the pope and the Sacred College showed them- selves inclined for reform. In December he wrote to Sadoleto asking him to return to Borne to help in the work of preparing for a general council.

Crocifisso di San Marcello a Roma, one of the most prominent lay religious associations in sixteenth- century Italy. Divided into four main chapters, the dissertation first develops the innovative theory of conspicuous devotion through a documented examination of the company’s religious rituals and urban processions during the Catholic Reformation. The following chapters apply the theory to analyses of the confraternity’s commissions in the Cappella del Crocifisso in San Marcello and the nearby Oratorio del Crocifisso, in which Perino del Vaga (1501–47), Daniele da Volterra (1509–66), Giovanni de’ Vecchi (ca. 1536–1615), Cesare Nebbia (ca. 1536–1614), and Niccolò Circignani (ca. 1517/24–after 1596) painted. Challenging traditional interpretations of Central Italian painting from 1520 to 1590, the object-focused project argues that conspicuous meaning and form served conspicuous devotion to both instruct and inspire, in accordance with the reforms of the Catholic Church.
