And Particularly the Practices of the Court of Rome To hinder the Reformation of their Errours and to maintain their Greatness. Translated into English the "Historie of the Councel of Trent" chronicles the great Council that formed the modern Catholic Church. The Council of Trent played an important part in determining the outcome of the Counter-Reformation. Called for by Pope Paul Ill the Council was finally disbanded in 1563; although it had a life span of 18 years it was only engaged in talks for four and a half years. The Pope did not attend the meetings of the Council and he took no formal part in it however his legates had to ensure that the popes views would always be put forward in order that there was no danger of the Council being superior to the Pope.The Council was called to examine doctrine and reform. Charles V had wanted abuses looked at first in an attempt to please the Protestants and hopefully tempt them back to the church. Once they were back they could look at doctrine. Paul III did not want this as reforms could financially damage him and concessions could diminish his authority. The result was that two separate sections dealt with reform and doctrine simultaneously. The Council of Trent did mark a turning-point in the history of the Catholic Church as it gave Catholics a certainty about their own beliefs and practices that had been lacking and offered a firm base on which the spiritual life of the Catholic world could be reconstructed.

1682046918Dublin: Joseph Ray 1682. Second Edition. Hardcover rebound in leather. Very Good Condition. Rebound in contemporary leather extensive contemporary notes to front endpapers one endpaper with the upper right corner torn. Quite clean internally - in two parts a third was published in 1689. 14 70 8 154pp<br/><br/>The first and second parts of Ware's extensive and pernicious forgeries of church history intended to stir up anti-Catholic anti-Irish and anti-Jesuit sentiment. They played a large role in the absurd stories surrounding the Popish Plot and many of Ware's creations continued to pollute reformation history into the 19th 20th and even 21st centuries. Ware was the son of a prominent historian and used his father John's name to legitimize the documents that he "found" - one of the most long lived forgeries was a Cranmer letter at the beginning of part two which entered into Cranmer's works and was preserved for centuries through misattributions by historians such as John Strype and wishful thinking.

Very Good. 4 232 pp. Title in red and black with etched royal cypher. 120 copper engraved commemorative medals by Adriaen Schoonebeeck. Added engraved title page signed by Romeyn de Hooghe dated 1691. 12 full-page etchings signed by de Hooghe that depict festival constructions for Williams entry into The Hague in 1691 and also portraits of William and Mary among other emblems. Engraved headpiece and initial decoration on dedication leaf signed by Schoonebeck followed by full-page engraved leaf honoring Chevalier with depictions of Atlas Aristotle and other muses. Full contemporary vellum blind-stamped with central lozenge design; very slight foxing or staining engravings fresh; covers slightly bowed. Initialled bookplate P.M.G to front pastedown. First Edition in French of this biography of William III of England extensively illustrated to show important events in the monarchs life. This work was privately printed for Nicolas Chevalier who was a hobbyist and coin collector. A large proportion of Dutch print-making at the end of the 17th century focused on William III. An almost categorical personality cult surrounded the stadtholder-king. Among the print-makers Romeyn de Hooghe 1645-1708 was an important and prolific late Dutch Baroque engraver and caricaturist. He is best known for his political caricatures of Louis XIV and propagandistic prints supporting William of Orange. De Hooghes 12 etchings of triumphal arches for this work are adaptations of plates in the works by Bidloo and Tronchin de Breuil published in 1691 and 1692. Adriaen Schoonebeek c. 1657- 1705 is often mentioned because of his appearance as witness for the prosecution in a court case against de Hooghe that formed the climax of a slanderous exchange of pamphets between Orangists and members of the Amsterdam faction in 1690. These animosities did not prevent re- employment of both engravers in executing plates for this Nicolas Chevaliers 1692 illustrated volume on numismatics and the life of King William. Rare.

With woodcut vignette and woodcut initials. 14 2 blank pp. First and only edition of this pamphlet discussing the condemnation of 4 Dutch captains for their cowardly conduct in the Battle of Texel on 29 June 1694 against the French privateer Jan Baert 1650-1702. They are Govert van der Weppelen Simon Holthuysen Anthony van der Lith and Cornelis van der Hoeven. All four were removed from their functions and sentenced to a thousand silver ducatons fine including imprisonment until they payed this fine. All four charges and sentences are described in this pamphlet.The Battle of Texel took place during the Nine Years' War and was a sea battle fought at night between a small group of Dunkirk privateer ships commanded by the pirate Jan Baert and a group of Dutch warships commanded by the rear admiral Hidde Sjoerds de Vries 1645-1694. Since there was famine in France due to a shortage of grain and therefore high grain prices Jan Baert was ordered to sail to Norway and bring a convoy of 120 grain ships back to France. However this convoy which did not wait for Baert was immediately captured by the Dutch. Baert searched for the fleet and found it near Texel on June 29. After a fierce battle Baert conquered the fleet hijacked the grain and also captured Hidde Sjoerds de Vries who subsequently died in Dunkirk where the fleet was sailing back to. With a vertical fold in the front wrapper with a small hole in the title-page not affecting the text very slightly foxed and browned but overall in good condition.l Knuttel 14044; STCN 851209629; Tiele 9358. unknown
