Liturgy, Sanctity and History in Tridentine Italy Pietro Maria Campi and the Preservation of the Particular

This book offers a fresh, original and interdisciplinary interpretation of what the catholic Reformation meant at local diocesan level in the face of attempts by Rome to regularise worship c. 1550-1700. In the process of protecting the spiritual integrity of the patria, representatives of Italian local history such as Pietro Maria Campi of Piacenza (1569-1649) - who provides the focus of this wide-ranging study - significantly broadened the boundaries of historical study and helped to lay the foundations of Italian national history writing.Ditchfield, Simon is the author of 'Liturgy, Sanctity and History in Tridentine Italy Pietro Maria Campi and the Preservation of the Particular' with ISBN 9780521893206 and ISBN 0521893208.
