Somewhat less successful, however, is the balance he achieves between the depth and rigor of his analyses of Gerson’s own writings and his somewhat uneven handling of the contextual background against which they are seen. Thus it is impossible to grasp the full significance of Gerson’s clash with Gorel on the matter of mendicant privileges without seeing it in the context of the great mendicant-secular controversy at Paris in the 1250’s or the seventeenth-century struggle in France to vindicate the divinely-established hierarchical status of the parochial clergy. Nor can it convincingly be claimed that “Gerson’s last contributions at Constance have for the most part been ignored” (p. 281). After all, the first blow struck in the great war of words surrounding the Venetian interdict of 1606 was the republication in Italian translation of two of Gerson’s tracts from 1418—his Resolutio circa materiam excommunicationum et irregularitatum and his De sententia pastoris semper tenenda.That blow was struck by the acerbic Venetian theologian Paolo Sarpi, and it had the effect of drawing down on him (and on the memory of Gerson) the ire of none other than Cardinal Robert Bellarmine. Nor, again, is it altogether accurate to assert that after 1706 Gerson was to become something of a parochial figure, “celebrated by French academics and more or less forgotten elsewhere” (p. 318). He figures large, after all, in the De statu ecclesiae which the auxiliary bishop of Trier (writing under the pseudonym of “Febronius”) was to publish in 1763 and which was soon to be a best seller, circulated all over Europe in German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese translations. Nor was Gerson unknown to the recusant “Anglo-Gallicans” of late-eighteenth-century England or, across the Atlantic, to their “Cisalpine” fellow-travellers in the newly-independent United States.","PeriodicalId":44384,"journal":{"name":"CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW","volume":"71 1","pages":"161 - 163"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2007-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/cat.2007.0128","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66397751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His judgments are generally fair, if he can be critical. Harnack he sees as making a fundamental contribution to the study of church history, taking it far beyond the confines of dusty doctrine, if no archaeologist. Lietzmann he presents, again like Harnack, as a staunch Lutheran and a man of the Church, who not only successfully combined a study of history, archaeology, and liturgy, but also was responsible for some key series of scholarly aids covering both the New Testament and the early Church.The lesserknown Gsell is rightly lauded for his painstaking and uniquely valuable contribution to the history, geography, and archaeology of early Christian North Africa, and useful detail of later scholarly developments in the field is supplied. Ramsay’s pioneering work in Asia Minor and Phrygia and its continuing relevance, despite his dated political judgments, are duly recognized. Duchesne’s judicious balance between history and the development of doctrine, despite his bitter struggles with Roman Catholic authority, and his recent rehabilitation, are sympathetically sketched. Finally Baynes’ contributions to patristic as well as Byzantine scholarship are sympathetically presented.","PeriodicalId":44384,"journal":{"name":"CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW","volume":"92 1","pages":"641 - 643"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2007-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/cat.2007.0013","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66398173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a version of the Baile de la Conquista featuring Sinacán resisting capture until he is taken prisoner by Tlaxcalan warriors, allied with the Spaniards. This annual event likely performed from the late sixteenth century until the seventeenth century, was staged in Santiago’s central plaza and featured a mock volcano. Contreras believes that this version might have survived if it had been performed in pueblos instead of in the capital; with insufficient official or native impetus to keep it going, it was soon forgotten. By contrast, Tecún Umán is the hero of a version of the Baile de la Conquista, which is still performed in Guatemala. Contreras concludes that Tecún did not die in personal combat with Alvarado and that the two men never even met. Though Alvarado mentions the death of the Lord in the first major battle of the conquest surely he would have informed his superior, Cortés, if he had personally killed him. Contreras implies that Tecún Umán’s hero status is a result of legend and folklore and that Sinacán, the true hero, has been unjustly forgotten.","PeriodicalId":44384,"journal":{"name":"CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW","volume":"91 1","pages":"358 - 359"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2006-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/cat.2006.0212","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66397456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response, five conciliar assemblies took place in Mexico (City) (1771), Manila (1771), Lima (1772), Charcas (1774–1778), and Santa Fé de Bogota (1774), all of them metropolitan capitals of Hispanic America and the Philippines.","PeriodicalId":44384,"journal":{"name":"CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW","volume":"91 1","pages":"743 - 760"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2006-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/cat.2006.0061","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66397348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have no luxuriously decorated or illustrated books from York,or Lyon,or for that matter Rome; we cannot be certain that any were produced in these important centers,nor can we be confident of their appearance if they once existed.Verkerk’s frequent use of Roman liturgical and textual sources in her interpretations of the miniatures is valuable and interesting, but not much of an argument for an origin in Rome. Roman liturgies were widely emulated or adapted elsewhere; the manuscripts she perforce uses to ascertain just what Roman liturgy was during this period are themselves Frankish manuscripts, not Roman.The seven deacons she identifies in one of the miniatures are an important feature of the urban church in Rome,but, as she points out,depend upon a scriptural passage of universal currency. On the point of origin of the book, a healthy agnosticism still seems in order. Scholarship has probably devoted too much effort to the question of origins, which often becomes a reductive and schematic exercise, forcing a definitive choice beyond the limitations of our knowledge. More interesting is the discourse to which Verkerk’s book effectively contributes, a discourse not about where books were made but about for whom they were made, what they signified, and how they were used.","PeriodicalId":44384,"journal":{"name":"CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW","volume":"91 1","pages":"138 - 139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2005-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/cat.2005.0115","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66397616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
