The First Three Commandments in the Polish Catholic Catechisms of the 1560S–1570S CHAPTER 11 Man and God: The First Three Commandments in the Polish Catholic Catechisms of the 1560s–1570s Waldemar Kowalski Catechism: A New Tool in Religious Instruction The sixteenth century brought a number of fundamental and far-reaching changes in the Polish Church’s approach to the cura animarum (cure of souls). In practice, the laity previously had cursory access to the fundamentals of the faith. From the end of the Middle Ages up until the mid-seventeenth century, elementary catechesis was limited to the repetition of the Pater noster, Credo, Ave Maria and the Decalogue before the Sunday Mass. An average priest was able to mobilize his parishioners to repeat the Ten Commandments and to memorize the relevant verses, following synodical recommendations. It was a far more difficult task, however, to explain convincingly the moral obligations arising from them. Hypothetically these rudiments of faith were taught more effectively during the second half of the sixteenth century.1 One of the expla- nations for these changes was the relative growth in the ranks of the educated laity. This was also at least partly due to the proliferation of printed catechisms. They were composed and published with a view to explaining and promot- ing the principles of the faith in opposition to Lutheran and, later, Reformed attempts to evangelize the population. The fight against ‘heresy’, the reason for which the provincial synod in Piotrków convened in 1525, was thereafter to become part of a wider reform programme within the Church.2 Such a 1 For a thorough discussion of the possibilities and limitations of religious education at the turn of the modern age, see: Bylina S., Religijność późnego średniowiecza (Warsaw: 2009) 26–38.

Indeed, it remains unclear to what extent the la- ity’s access to religious education really increased. The following presentation of the exegesis of the first three commandments in sixteenth-century Polish Catholic catechisms sheds some light on the poorly studied effectiveness of instruction in the rudiments of the faith. In sixteenth-century Poland, around twenty Catholic catechisms were pub- lished. Almost all of these were printed in Cracow, with the overall number of editions estimated at fifty (twenty-eight Latin editions, twenty-one in Polish, and one in German). The majority of these were reprints of foreign works which were popular at the time: Georg Witzel’s handbook Questiones cathe- chisticæ (1543), Petrus Canisius’s Parvus cathechismus catholicorum (1565 and subsequent eight editions), and Anthony Possevino’s Epistola de necessitate utilitateque ac ratione docendi catholici catechismi (1583). The catechism, or rather, confessional document of the Warmian (Ermland) bishop, Stanislaus Hosius’s, Confessio fidei catholicæ christiana, was first published in Cracow in 1553, and was widely circulated throughout Europe soon after.3 Some of these imports were translated into Polish, such as Jacob Ledesma’s Christian Teaching or a Small Catechism for Infants (1572). The first Polish translation of the Roman Catechism (1568) by Walenty Kuczborski is a relatively faithful rendition of the Latin original, which had been edited two years before.

  • Climatic Variability in Sixteenth-Century Europe and Its Social Dimension: a Synthesis
    CLIMATIC VARIABILITY IN SIXTEENTH-CENTURY EUROPE AND ITS SOCIAL DIMENSION: A SYNTHESIS CHRISTIAN PFISTER', RUDOLF BRAzDIL2 IInstitute afHistory, University a/Bern, Unitobler, CH-3000 Bern 9, Switzerland 2Department a/Geography, Masaryk University, Kotlar8M 2, CZ-61137 Bmo, Czech Republic Abstract. The introductory paper to this special issue of Climatic Change sununarizes the results of an array of studies dealing with the reconstruction of climatic trends and anomalies in sixteenth­ century Europe and their impact on the natural and the social world. Areas discussed include glacier expansion in the Alps, the frequency of natural hazards (floods in central and southem Europe and stonns on the Dutch North Sea coast), the impact of climate deterioration on grain prices and wine production, and finally, witch-hlllltS. The documentary data used for the reconstruction of seasonal and annual precipitation and temperatures in central Europe (Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic) include narrative sources, several types of proxy data and 32 weather diaries. Results were compared with long-tenn composite tree ring series and tested statistically by cross-correlating series of indices based OIl documentary data from the sixteenth century with those of simulated indices based on instrumental series (1901-1960). It was shown that series of indices can be taken as good substitutes for instrumental measurements. A corresponding set of weighted seasonal and annual series of temperature and precipitation indices for central Europe was computed from series of temperature and precipitation indices for Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic, the weights being in proportion to the area of each country. The series of central European indices were then used to assess temperature and precipitation anomalies for the 1901-1960 period using trmlsfer functions obtained from instrumental records.

  • Poor Relief and the Church in Scotland, 1560−1650
    George Mackay Brown and the Scottish Catholic Imagination Scottish Religious Cultures Historical Perspectives An innovative study of George Mackay Brown as a Scottish Catholic writer with a truly international reach This lively new study is the very first book to offer an absorbing history of the uncharted territory that is Scottish Catholic fiction. For Scottish Catholic writers of the twentieth century, faith was the key influence on both their artistic process and creative vision. By focusing on one of the best known of Scotland’s literary converts, George Mackay Brown, this book explores both the Scottish Catholic modernist movement of the twentieth century and the particularities of Brown’s writing which have been routinely overlooked by previous studies. The book provides sustained and illuminating close readings of key texts in Brown’s corpus and includes detailed comparisons between Brown’s writing and an established canon of Catholic writers, including Graham Greene, Muriel Spark and Flannery O’Connor. This timely book reveals that Brown’s Catholic imagination extended far beyond the ‘small green world’ of Orkney and ultimately embraced a universal human experience. Linden Bicket is a Teaching Fellow in the School of Divinity in New College, at the University of Edinburgh. She has published widely on George Mackay Brown Linden Bicket and her research focuses on patterns of faith and scepticism in the fictive worlds of story, film and theatre.

  • William Herle's Report of the Dutch Situation, 1573
    LIVES AND LETTERS, VOL. 1, NO. 1, SPRING 2009 Signs of Intelligence: William Herle’s Report of the Dutch Situation, 1573 On the 11 June 1573 the agent William Herle sent his patron William Cecil, Lord Burghley a lengthy intelligence report of a ‘Discourse’ held with Prince William of Orange, Stadtholder of the Netherlands.∗ Running to fourteen folio manuscript pages, the Discourse records the substance of numerous conversations between Herle and Orange and details Orange’s efforts to persuade Queen Elizabeth to come to the aid of the Dutch against Spanish Habsburg imperial rule. The main thrust of the document exhorts Elizabeth to accept the sovereignty of the Low Countries in order to protect England’s naval interests and lead a league of protestant European rulers against Spain. This essay explores the circumstances surrounding the occasion of the Discourse and the context of the text within Herle’s larger corpus of correspondence. In the process, I will consider the methods by which the study of the material features of manuscripts can lead to a wider consideration of early modern political, secretarial and archival practices. THE CONTEXT By the spring of 1573 the insurrection in the Netherlands against Spanish rule was seven years old. Elizabeth had withdrawn her covert support for the English volunteers aiding the Dutch rebels, and was busy entertaining thoughts of marriage with Henri, Duc d’Alençon, brother to the King of France. Rejecting the idea of French assistance after the massacre of protestants on St Bartholomew’s day in Paris the previous year, William of Orange was considering approaching the protestant rulers of Europe, mostly German Lutheran sovereigns, to form a strong alliance against Spanish Catholic hegemony.

  • Foreign Artists in 16Th Century London Transcript
    Foreign Artists in 16th Century London Transcript Date: Monday, 1 March 2010 - 12:00AM Location: Museum of London Foreign Artists working in London 1500-1520 Dr. Tarnya Cooper 1/3/2010 This lecture explored why foreign artists were employed in London and provided a brief survey of their work across a period 1500-1520. Instead of looking at the work of individual artists, it looked at key themes (The work of native English painters, the dominance of the one genre of portraiture, the persistent court patronage of foreign artists, the transmission of skills and direct compositions between foreign and English painters, and finally the near dominance of Netherlandish painters in the Jacobean period). It also touched upon the extent to which foreign artists helped to direct taste in England Or conversely, whether foreign artists were adjusting their style or practices to meet the demands of English patrons. The story of painting in England in the sixteenth century is a largely a narrative about immigration. This is true from the early 1500s when independent easel painting and portraiture was only just making its appearance in northern Europe. The early part of the century saw numerous craftsmen's and talented painters travel from Germany, the Netherlands and less often France and Italy to work in England. The most famous of such painters was Hans Holbein who arrived in 1526 for a short visit and returned in 1532 until the end of his life. While Van Dyck arrived in England 1620 for a brief stay, and returned in the 1630s. Yet the history of painting in between the death of Hans Holbein in 1543 and the arrival of Anthony Van Dyck in England in 1620s has traditionally been seen as fallow ground for art historians.

  • Portrait of Queen Elizabeth I (1533–1603) with a Hidden Serpent
    Portrait of Queen Elizabeth I (1533–1603) with a hidden serpent By an unknown artist Oil on panel, c.1580s–90s Given by the Mines Royal, Mineral and Battery Societies, 1865 The portrait and its condition This display has provided a rare opportunity to show this portrait in its unrestored condition. Due to loss of paint from the surface, it is now difficult to see how the painting would have originally looked. The composition was based on an existing portrait formula and numerous versions of this portrait type would have been painted, although very few survive today. Elizabeth is shown wearing the Lesser George, the medal signifying membership of the Order of the Garter, on a ribbon around her neck. A portrait underneath The recent technical analysis has shown that the portrait of Elizabeth has been painted over an unfinished portrait of an entirely different sitter. X-ray shows a female head in a higher position, facing in the opposite direction to the portrait of Elizabeth. The eyes and nose of the face underneath can now be seen where paint has been lost from Elizabeth’s forehead. The lips and headdress can also be seen, as can the ruff which was positioned underneath Elizabeth’s chin. The identity of the original sitter remains a mystery but the unfinished portrait appears to have been very competently painted, probably by a different artist. The original sitter appears to have been wearing a French hood of a type that was fashionable in the 1570s and 1580s, suggesting that there may have been a period of a few years before the panel was re-used.

  • Piratical Colonization: Piracy's Role in the First
    PIRATICAL COLONIZATION: PIRACY’S ROLE IN THE FIRST ENGLISH COLONIES, 1550-1600 by Austin F. Croom March, 2019 Director of Thesis: Wade G. Dudley Major Department: History This thesis analyzes the importance of piracy to the beginnings of English overseas expansion. This study will consider the piratical climate around the British Isles in the sixteenth century, and the ways in which this context affected the participants in the first English colonial projects. Piracy became inseparably associated with nearly all of the Elizabethan overseas expeditions, contributing experienced seamen to the cause and promising to fill gaps in the financial strength of the expeditions. Ultimately, piracy proved difficult to control, and sabotaged the efforts of the Elizabethan colonial promoters.

  • 2. Swedish Monetary Standards in a Historical Perspective1
    2. Swedish monetary standards in a historical perspective1 Rodney Edvinsson 2.1. Introduction Since 1873 the krona (crown, abbreviated SEK), divisible into 100 öre, has been the main monetary unit in Sweden. Before that date Sweden had various domestic cur- rencies that were used as means of payment. In various periods there was a fluctuat- ing market exchange rate between these currencies. Inflation figures, for example, will therefore differ depending on which monetary unit one follows because the value of some currencies fell more over time than the value of others.2 This chapter classifies the monetary standards in Sweden from the Middle Ages to the present, and gives an overview of the various currencies that were in use. A com- modity standard was in place during most of Sweden’s history, while the fiat stan- dard is a rather late innovation. The classification into monetary standards is also related to the issue of debasement under the commodity standard and the mecha- nisms behind the rise of multiple currencies. Exchange rates of coins often deviated somewhat from the theoretical exchange rates based on the relations between their intrinsic metal values. The monetary history of Sweden provides examples of imme- diate as well as protracted adjustments of exchange rates and prices in response to debasement. The term “Sweden” used in this book could be questioned from a historical per- spective. Up to the 17th century, the monetary history of various regions within the present borders of Sweden coincided with Denmark’s. Since Finland was part of the kingdom of Sweden-Finland up to 1809, the monetary history of Sweden and Fin- 1 I want to thank especially Jan Bohlin, Bo Franzén, Klas Fregert, Cecilia von Heijne, Lars O.
