A Bishop's Tale Mathias Hovius Among His Flock in Seventeenth Century Flanders
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Yale Univ Pr
- Publish date: 12/01/2000
Craig Harline and Eddy Put recreate the eventful life and times of Mathias Hovius -- a world in which other-believers were outright heretics, the nagging fevers of old age were the result of unbalanced bodily humors, and a corruptible earth rested motionless at the center of the universe while God sat exalted on a throne just beyond the fixed stars. The authors also tell the stories of monks, nuns, priests, millers, pilgrims, peasant women, saints, town and village councils, and ordinary parishioners; each story fascinating in its own right, illustrates a major theme in the history of the Catholic Reformation. In the end Harline and Put have painted a picture teeming with life and energy.
