ical and religious changes. The fourth chapter examines the activities of the Angelics, the Barnabites, the Somascans and the Ursulines within the thorny context of Italian reformism, and how, in some cases, they sought to converge on the ideas proposed by the most prominent figures within the circles of Evangelism and Spiritualism. The fifth chapter examines how, in the second half of the sixteenth century, the reforming orders underwent a series of seminal changes which would alter their physiognomy. At the same time the chapter explores how the ideas of Battista da Crema, and in part those of Merici and Miani, managed to survive in the years following the Council of Trent. Mazzonis’s book offers a vivid and well-researched investigation of the intellectual and religious ferment which characterised the reforming orders of the Italian Peninsula during a period which was polarised by the spread of Lutheranism and the orthodoxy of the Catholic Reformation. By focusing on the key – but hard to decode – concepts of devotion, salvation and spiritualism, the author sheds lights on the inner mechanisms which regulated the life of the reforming orders and how their agenda was much freer and more inclusive than that elaborated by the traditional Tridentine orders like the Jesuits or the Oratorians. Overall, Mazzonis’s book is a welcome and much awaited analysis. It will finally explain to both established and young scholars how the concept and practice of reforms of Christian life in the sixteenth-century Italian peninsula was more extremely articulated and fluid than the traditional historiography on the Catholic Reformation had previously taught.

This article examines the English translations of works by Johann August Neander (the reputed father of modern church history) in order to consider his transatlantic influence. American editions of Neander's work supported the development of church historiography in nineteenth-century America, and influenced the direction of mediating theology at American academic and religious institutions. Besides identifying the agents who championed these translation efforts, the article explores how translations of church history texts supported knowledge transfer from Germany to America. Neander's books received positive attention in the translation culture of the 1830s, and he gained a reputation as a model scholar of church history.

The paths to sainthood of the cults of Isidore Agricola and Ferdinand III exhibit a unique phenomenon of collaboration across the Spanish empire for the canonisation of multiple Counter-Reformation saints. An analysis of their financial records may reveal a network of alliances that could account for the overwhelming number of Iberian saints canonised in the seventeenth century. The role of Spanish America in the construction of a renewed imperial identity is also examined, demonstrating that it capitalised on the urgency of these devotions to advance its own cults while arguing for the centrality of their territories to the expansion of Catholicism.

Ben Rogers
This article discusses how religious comprehension was promoted by the Scottish authorities after the revolution of 1688–9 to reach a compromise between the nation's two main religious groups: the Presbyterians and the Episcopalians. Unlike the failed attempt to enact comprehension in England in 1689, in Scotland five attempts were made from 1689 to 1694 to accommodate Episcopalians into the Church. The article argues that comprehension forced the Scots to confront the practical limits of their commitment to religious uniformity, and was central to their transition from a Reformed nation that cherished uniformity to one that begrudgingly accepted the existence of pluralism.

R. Edwards
This article argues that the liturgical tradition of celebrating Christmas on 25 December travelled from the Latin West to the Greek East at the behest of Theodosius I upon his arrival in Constantinople in AD 380. From there it made its way to Cappadocia, Pontus and Syrian Antioch by means of travelling clerics who belonged to a pro-Nicene network. The essay also makes the larger methodological point that in late antiquity liturgical traditions did not travel of their own accord; rather, they were often carried by networks of travelling bishops and ‘radiated out’ from major sees to minor ones.

This paper reviews the classic perception that the debate on the regular origins of secular canonesses in early modern France consisted of a clash between authors who sought to legitimise the members’ current status and privileges, and prominent scholars such as Jean Mabillon whose sole aim was to present a truthful account of the past. Through a case study of the abbey of Remiremont it shows that local commentators gained a nuanced understanding of that community's past and present identities, while Mabillon and others relied on second-hand arguments and flawed methods to make a case for a regular reform.
