‘Quid est sacramentum?’ Visual Representation of Sacred Mysteries in Early Modern Europe, 1400–1700 investigates how sacred mysteries (in Latin, sacramenta or mysteria) were visualized in a wide range of media, including illustrated religious literature such as catechisms, prayerbooks, meditative treatises, and emblem books, produced in Italy, France, and the Low Countries between ca. 1500 and 1700. The contributors ask why the mysteries of faith and, in particular, sacramental mysteries were construed as amenable to processes of representation and figuration, and why the resultant images were thought capable of engaging mortal eyes, minds, and hearts. Mysteries by their very nature appeal to the spirit, rather than to sense or reason, since they operate beyond the limitations of the human faculties; and yet, the visual and literary arts served as vehicles for the dissemination of these mysteries and for prompting reflection upon them. Contributors: David Areford, AnnMarie Micikas Bridges, Mette Birkedal Bruun, James Clifton, Anna Dlabačková, Wim François, Robert Kendrick, Aiden Kumler, Noria Litaker, Walter S. Melion, Lars Cyril Nørgaard, Elizabeth Pastan, Donna Sadler, Alexa Sand, Tanya Tiffany, Lee Palmer Wandel, Geert Warner, Bronwen Wilson, and Elliott Wise.

A work of major importance, written for an ecumenical audience, Doors to the Sacred is a sweeping and detailed account of the historical and cultural evolution of sacramental rituals and practices. Since its initial publication, the book has garnered widespread critical acclaim and has become a mainstay not only for students but for all thinking Christians who want to understand the past fully while making their present participation in the sacraments more genuine and intelligent. Martos has greatly expanded all of the bibliographic material and has incorporated the latest developments in theological study and inquiry. His focus is on the seven ecclesial sacraments of the Catholic Church: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing, Marriage, and Orders. Though based on thorough research and impressive scholarship, Doors to the Sacred is written in a lively style that will be welcomed by a general audience. Paperback

This book examines how secret knowledge was represented visually in ways that both revealed and concealed the true nature of that knowledge, giving and yet impeding access to it.

'St. Paul, ' says he, 'teaches that baptism is not a sign, but a clothing in Christ, yea, that Christ Himself is our clothing. Wherefore baptism is a most potent and efficacious rite1.' 1 'Sacramentum quid Sacramentum ergo.... symbolum externum, quo quales simus, et quodnam sit officium testamur, significat. Ut cnim, qui crucem gestat album, sese Helvetum esse, et posthac semper fore testatur.'--De Baptismo, Zuinglii Opera, 1581, Tom. I. fol. 60. 2 'Sacramentum quid Sacramentum est sacne rei signum. Cum ergo Sacramentum Corporia Christi nomino, non quicquam aliud, quam panem, qui Corporis Christi pro nobis mortui figura et typus est intelligo.'--De Coena Domini, Opera, Tom. I. fol. 274. 8 In Genesin. c. iv. Opera, Tom. VI. fol. 62. Of this more under Art. XXVIII. Meanwhile see his treatise De Sacramento Altaru, Tom. I. fol. 78; CatecJusmui Major, Tom. v. p. 640. 5 'Quemadmodum enim mater illo carnali partu plenum peccatis Calvin took a kind of mean between Luther and Zuinglius. Concerning Sacraments in general, he writes, that 'though they are figures, yet not naked and empty figures, but having their truth and substance united to them; not only representing, but offering grace. We ought never to separate the substance of the Sacraments from the Sacraments themselves. We ought not indeed to confound them, but to rend them asunder is absurd2.' 'The word is joined to the external sign, and hence Sacraments have their efficacy.... Christ breathed on His Apostles, and they received not His breathing only, but the Spirit of Gpd. Wherefore? but because Christ had promised? So in baptism we put on Christ, we are washed in His Blood, our old man is crucified, that the righteousness of Ood..
