This thesis examines the missionary work of the Italian Capuchin Lorenzo da Brindisi. Renowned in his own day as a preacher, Bible scholar, missionary, chaplain, and diplomat, as well as vicar general of his Order, Lorenzo led the first organised, papally-commissioned Capuchin mission among the non-Catholics of Bohemia in the Holy Roman Empire from 1599 to 1602, and returned there, again under papal mandate, from 1606 to 1613. This thesis examines Lorenzo’s evangelistic and polemical activities in Central Europe in order to shed light on some of the ways the Capuchins laboured in religiously divided territories to confirm Catholics in their faith and to win over heretics. The introduction explains, principally, the thesis’s purpose and the historiographical background. Chapter one provides a brief biographical sketch of Lorenzo’s life followed by details of his afterlife. Chapter two examines his leading role in establishing the Capuchins’ new Commissariate of Bohemia-Austria-Styria in 1600, and specifically its first three friaries in Prague, Vienna, and Graz. Chapter three treats his preaching against heresy. Chapter four focuses on how Lorenzo, while in Prague, involved himself directly in theological disputations with two different Lutheran preachers. The first dispute, with Polykarp Leyser, took place in July 1607, and dealt with good works and justification. The second, with a Lutheran whose name is not known for certain, and which occurred in August 1610, concerned Catholic veneration of the Virgin Mary. Chapter five analyses the Lutheranismi hypotyposis, Lorenzo’s literary refutation of Lutheranism following additional contact with Polykarp Leyser in 1607. The conclusion considers briefly the effectiveness of Lorenzo’s apostolate and closes with a review of the thesis as a whole.

This master thesis deals with the spiritual progress pointing to a national self-awareness in the Enlightenment era from the beginning until 1848. The Enlightenment is an European phenomenon, which is characterized by a change of thinking, and self-awareness. This idea of tolerance and human emancipation contributed to the reforms of fundamental social, political and ecclesiastical changes. These changes result not only from a philosophical influences, but also from royal reforms during the reign of Maria Theresa and Joseph II in particular. The Teresian enlightened Catholicism and Josephinian reformism fully started the journey from the Enlightenment to liberalism. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The work deals with the dissemination, duration, transformations and reception of the cult of an important Jesuit Saint, St. Francis Xavier, in the early modern Czech lands. Its goal is to contribute to the better understanding of the reality of the re-catholicization after the Battle of White Montain and the forms of Czech spirituality of the 17th and 18th century. This particular cult was selected because of the fact that St. Francis Xavier was closely related to the main (or most prominent) participant of the re-catholicization, i. e. the Jesuit order, where he in the informal hierarchy of Saints occupied the second place immediately after the founder of the Society St. Ignacius of Loyola. Moreover, St. Francis Xavier belonged among the five new Catholic Saints canonized in 1622 (St. Ignacius of Loyola, St. Francis Xavier, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Philipp Neri, and St. Isidore of Madrid), who represented an important constituent of the revived post-Tridentine Catholic spirituality. However, although the existing secondary literature presupposes that the reverence to St. Francis Xavier was widespread in the Czech Baroque, no systematic study of this theme was realized untill now. First chapter deals with the specification of the theme of the work, maps existing knowledge and sources available and...

[pt] A presente dissertação tem por objeto de estudo o acervo azulejar setecentista instalado no claustro e na sala do consistório do edifício dos irmãos franciscanos de Salvador, cujos programas iconográficos representam, respectivamente, cenas da Entrada festiva em Lisboa em homenagem ao casamento de D. José, então Príncipe do Brasil, com a Princesa da Astúrias Dona Maria Ana Vitória de Bourbon, ocorrida em 12 de fevereiro de 1729; e dez vistas do lado oriental da cidade de Lisboa. Embora se trate de um objeto de natureza pictórica de grande valor documental - já que constitui um registro único em suporte cerâmico da capital do Império antes do terremoto de 1755 - a tese se desenvolve na fronteira teórica da história da arte e da história cultural. O acervo azulejar é analisado enquanto uma representação simbólica inerente à cultura política barroca portuguesa prevalecente durante o reinado de D. João V. A pesquisa revela como o conjunto de azulejos desvia do padrão temático-iconográfico dos templos franciscanos da Escola Franciscana do Nordeste, em cuja azulejaria predominam temas religiosos. Também procura refletir sobre as especificidades das injunções persuasivas do poder monárquico joanino, que aliava a religião católica à grandiloquência do aparato cerimonial e representativo. No contexto da colônia, a instalação dos silhares no templo dos irmãos franciscanos, contendo cenas laicas referentes às efemérides reais, testemunham as relações privilegiadas entre o monarca e os membros da Ordem, oriundos da elite agrária local, principais contribuintes do imposto para o casamento real. / [en] This dissertation aims to study the Portuguese tiles in the cloisters and the consistory room of the building belonging to the Third Order of Franciscans in Salvador, Bahia, the iconography of which depicts, respectively, scenes of the festival (Entrada) held to celebrate the wedding of D José, Prince of Brazil, with Dona Maria Ana Vitoria de Bourbon, Princess of Asturias, on 12 February 1729, and ten views of the eastern part of the city of Lisbon. Although it deals with an object of a pictorial nature and one of great documentary value, since it constitutes a unique record in tiles of the capital of the Portuguese empire before the 1755 earthquake, the thesis seeks to locate itself on the theoretical frontier of the art history and of cultural history. The tiles are analysed as a symbolic representation of Portuguese baroque political culture during the reign of D. Joao V. The research reveals how these particular tiles deviate from the typical thematiciconographic model of Franciscan temples of the Northeastern Franciscan School in which tiles have predominantly had religious themes. The thesis also reflects on the specificities of joanine monarchical power, its persuasive practices which allied Catholic religion to grandiloquent ceremonial apparatus. In the context of the colony the installation of the tiles in the temple of the Franciscan brothers in Salvador, comprising secular scenes depicting the royal cerimonies, is an evidence of the privileged relationship between the Portuguese crown and the members of the Third Order, who were drawn from the local landowning elite and who were the principal contributors of the tax imposed for the royal wedding.

La present tesi vol explicar la implantació de la Reforma Catòlica en una sèrie de parròquies rurals dels bisbats de Girona (valls de Ridaura, Bas, Hostoles i Amer) i Vic (El Collsacabra i les valls de Susqueda i Sau), entre 1587 i 1800, des dels bisbes posttrentins Jaume Caçador i Pedro Jaime als il·lustrats Tomàs de Lorenzana i Francisco de Veyan. La documentació principal són les sèries de les visites pastorals conservades a l'Arxiu Diocesà de Girona i l'Arxiu Episcopal de Vic; paral·lelament, s'ha reforçat amb documentació parroquial (llibres sagramentals, consuetes, llibres d'obra i confraries), protocols notarials (notaries de Rupit, Sant Feliu de Pallerols, El Mallol i Amer) i impresos episcopals. Els manaments de les visites pastorals s'han contrastat, amb semblances i diferències, amb els decrets del concili de Trento, de les constitucions provincials tarraconenses i les sinodals gironines i vigatanes, i amb les evidències artístiques, arquitectòniques i arqueològiques. Tots ells han servit per demostrar la lentitud en la implantació del programa tridentí, que s'assoleix, de fet, amb força retard (ben entrat el segle XVIII). / The present thesis tries to explain the implantation of the Catholic Reform in a few rural parish churches in the bishoprics of Girona (Valleys of Ridaura, Bas, Hostoles and Amer) and Vic (El Collsacabra and Valleys of Susqueda and Sau), from 1587 to 1800, from the post-Trent bishops Jaume Caçador and Pedro Jaime to Illustrated Tomàs de Lorenzana and Francisco de Veyan. The main sources of information are the pastoral bishop visits. These series are well preserved in the Arxiu Diocesà de Girona and the Arxiu Episcopal de Vic. We also have added some other documents: parish registers, notary books (from Rupit, Sant Feliu de Pallerols, El Mallol i Amer) and bishop printed material. We have contrasted the orders from the bishops visits with the decrees from the Council of Trent, the Constitutions of the Tarraconense Province and the Synodal Constitutions of Girona and Vic, and the artistic, architectural and archaeological evidences. All of them have shown the slow pace and the delay of the enterprise.
