Beschreibung
The work of St. Bartholomew of Braga, O.P. (1514-1590) appears here in English for the first time despite its long and enduring influence in ecclesiastical circles. His meditations on the office of pastor have provided critical insight bishops since their initial circulation and have helped form the most famous among them, including Bartholomew''s proteges Charles Borromeo. Pope Paul VI ordered a copy of Bartholomew''s work to be distributed among the Catholic bishops at the Second Vatican Council. Donald Prudlo''s translation situates St. Bartholomew of the Martyrs in his historical context as a lynchpin of Catholic Reform and affirms him as a figurehead of pastoral administration even in our own times.
