Church, artefact and religious routine in the sixteenth-century Low Countries at Ghent University (2013–2017), which was generously sponsored by the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO). Finishing it would not have been possible without the invaluable help and unremitting support of some very special people, and these words of gratitude are not merely customary, but heartfelt. First and foremost, I warmly thank my two promotors, Anne-Laure Van Bruaene and Koenraad Jonckheere, for their trust in my ability to bring the project to a good end. They wisely steered me through the Scylla and Charybdis of doctoral research, and provided me with the most useful suggestions and advice. They were not only devoted and helpful promotors, but also the kindest people to work with. Subsequently reworking a hefty dissertation into a readable book would not have been possible without the expert judgment of the members of my doctoral committee – Frederik Buylaert, Maarten Delbeke, Reindert Falkenburg, Maximiliaan Martens, Eddy Put and Hugo van der Velden – and the critical eyes of editors Tine Meganck, Herman Roodenburg and Frits Scholten. I acknowledge every single one of them for pushing me to sharpen my arguments, and for encouraging me to get rid of textual dead weight. The church of Zoutleeuw has become very dear to me through the wonderful discoveries I made with Ward Hendrickx as my knowledge- able guide, and he and Guido Coningx (De Vrienden van Zoutleeuw) were always willing and able to provide me with any requested bits of information. My archival research was greatly facilitated by the expert help of Eddy Put and Marc Carnier (Rijksarchief Leuven), Gerrit Vanden Bosch (Aartsbisschoppelijk Archief Mechelen) and Robrecht Janssen (Vlierbeek). I was introduced to the court of the Archdukes by René Vermeir and Luc Duerloo, Frederik Buylaert took me on a trip through the wondrous world of the nobility, and Erik Aerts enlightened me on previously unknown principles of inflation and real wage indexes. It was a privilege to enjoy the hospitality of the Rubenianum and its wonderful team, and I particularly thank director Véronique Van de Kerckhof for kindly inviting me to make use of the institution’s facilities. Emanuelle Mercier, Ingrid Geelen and Géraldine Patigny from the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage in Brussels (KIK-IRPA) very generously shared their own research data with me, as did Jan x acknowledgements van Herwaarden on Zoutleeuw as a destination for judicial pilgrim- ages and Dagmar Germonprez on the financial support from Albert and Isabella. It would not have been possible to interpret the Latin sources I used without the generous help and translating skills of Monique Van Melkebeek, Jetze Touber, Pieter Byttebier and Roman Roobroeck. Thomas Jacobs was the kindest help for English issues. I also warmly thank Jacques Toussat for the drawing reconstructing Saint Leonard’s chapel and for unbegrudgingly reworking it time and again to include the slightest details, Hans Blomme for providing the maps, and Justin Kroesen, Elizabeth Mattison, Friso Lammertse, Maarten Bassens, Jeroen Reyniers and Suzanne Laemers for provid- ing me with proper and indispensable images. On a more personal level, I should thank my colleagues from the Department of History at Ghent University who made the office a warm and welcoming home from the very first day; as an art histo- rian I have not once felt like the odd one out. Conversely, I am also immensely grateful to my art historical mates, who never abandoned me in spite of my historical escapades, not even when I started mak- ing graphs. Many of these colleagues have become deeply appreci- ated friends, and I thank all of them as much for the stimulating discussions as for the shared sorrows of the burdens and more pro- saic aspects to doctoral life. Because of their collegiality and friend- ship my mental well-being remained firm, even after the intellectual and emotional rollercoaster of writing this book. The same goes for all of my other friends elsewhere in the Low Countries, whom I also thank for the necessary distractions throughout the sometimes stressful times.

  • Adam and Eve: Shameless First Couple of the Ghent Altarpiece
    Adam and Eve: Shameless First Couple of the Ghent Altarpiece Linda Seidel Jan van Eyck’s depictions of Adam and Eve were marveled at for their lifelikeness before the close of the century in which they were painted, and on subsequent occasions in the following hundred years (Figure 1). Yet interest in their astonishingly realistic anatomy did not engage sustained discussion until the twentieth century, testimony to both the complex history the Ghent Altarpiece experienced during the intervening period and the figures’ particular fall from grace.1 Documents report that the Altarpiece, which from the outset was on restricted view in the private chapel at the Church of St. John for which it had been made, was subject to additional events that impeded its accessibility. These included wars, during which the Altarpiece was dismembered and hidden, and changes in taste that resulted in the removal of the Adam and Eve and their replacement by properly clothed copies (Figure 2).2 Only in the twentieth century, when Jan’s Adam and Eve were placed on public view in independent exhibitions and then returned to their original positions on the reconstructed Altarpiece, did conversation about their remarkable bodies emerge as a topic in the scholarly literature.

  • Alfonso De Castro on Vernacular Bible Translation and Christian Education
    Journal of Early Modern Christianity 2020; 7(1): 61–84 Dries De Crom* Alfonso de Castro on Vernacular Bible Translation and Christian Education https://doi.org/10.1515/jemc-2020-2018 Abstract: Alfonso de Castro (1495–1558) is known as a staunch opponent of vernacular Bible translation, who intervened on the matter at the Council of Trent. This article offers a fresh appreciation of Castro’s polemics against ver- nacular bibles, in light of a less well-known treatise in which Castro defends the right of the indigenous Spanish colonial population to be educated in the liberal arts and theology. It is argued that at the root of Castro’s misgivings about Bible translation is a concern for preserving traditional education as a necessary prerequisite for biblical interpretation. Keywords: Alfonso de Castro, Council of Trent, education, vernacular Bible translation 1 Introduction When Pedro Pacheco, Bishop of Jaén (1488–1560), travelled to Trent in the autumn of 1545 in anticipation of the upcoming council, he brought with him Alfonso de Castro (1495–1558), Franciscan theologian, humanist, Catholic apol- ogist and preacher.1 Friar De Castro taught at the Franciscan studium affiliated with the University of Salamanca, the centre of sixteenth-century scholastic theology.2 His reputation had been firmly established with the publication of Adversus omnes haereses, an encyclopaedia of heresies that would be dissemi- nated widely for years to come. His later works, De justa haereticorum punitione and De potestate legis poenalis, earned him a reputation as one of the founders of modern-day penal law. Between 1532 and 1535, Castro preached in the Low Countries, parts of Germany and France.
