his discussion of Olivares’s term as treasurer of his Claretian order, when he administered a multi-million-dollar stock portfolio and lived a lifestyle far removed from that which characterised his years as pastor of La Placita Church in Los Angeles. It was from La Placita that in Olivares formally declared its inauguration as a sanctuary parish, presenting a religiously inspired challenge to the federal government that would have resonated with William Lloyd Garrison a century earlier. The weightiness of this study (it runs to pages) is not without its limitations. Relying heavily as he does on oral histories of family and associates to understand themanbehind the clerical collar (little personal correspondence having survived), García frequently draws inferences about Olivares’s theology and ministry which, though plausible, fall somewhat short of being definitive. For one desirous of celebrating Olivares’s progressive credentials and his commitment to liberation theology’s ‘preferential option for the poor’, moreover, he makes surprisingly little of aspects of Olivares’s theology that suggest an enduring commitment to traditional Catholicism, notably Olivares’s initial reluctance to receive an award from the American Civil Liberties Union for his work with refugees because of theACLU’s support for abortion (p.).

the faithful of the sixteenth century’. Studies of radicalism have flourished in the years between this and the earlier bibliography. That topic finds its place here as a section within ‘Theological and Intellectual Currents’. More could be made, however, of important modern research, which views radicalism as a state of mind, psychological as much as cerebral or intellectual. Good bibliographies are built on discerning choices about categories and where people fit. Albertoni has Reginald Pole simply as part of ‘Men and Women’, and not forced under dated titles like ‘counter-reformation’ or the once-favoured ‘catholic reformation’. He might have been allowed at least one foot in ‘Nicodemism’ – but that’s another story. Two very long lists represent outstanding modern contributions; first, without doubt, is that ofMassimo Firpo and his collaborators and second, that of the talented American researcher Thomas Mayer, who died whilst this work was in preparation. Pole, ‘the missing pope’, was an Italianate Englishman and it is encouraging to find many studies here which set him in the European world where he belonged. That greater Europe was also the backdrop for the courageous humanist, Olimpia Morata, who moved as a refugee from the Ferrara court to Bavaria, and then to Heidelberg. The excellent modern Morata studies listed here, many of them in article form, signal the turn towards the influence of women and towards the vital role of humanists in Italy’s reform. The editor contextualises Il beneficio di Cristo within a section called ‘Evangelism, Valdesianism’. Thus he avoids setting that contested ‘libriccino’ in a special lonely eminence, as often happens, and as Tedeschi and Lattis did. In Albertoni’s work, Il beneficio is encountered at the crossroads of theology and history, Catholicism and Protestantism, no longer the exceptional text of Italian reform, but derivative, disorganised and inconsistent like most other religious works of the period. Vincenzo Lavenia’s historiographical introduction sets the scene perfectly: his own sympathies are clear, but so is his rare understanding as he probes the kaleidoscopic debates of the last two decades, about Italian reform, the recurring religious crises and ‘the post-Cantimori shift’. His words on the complex effects of ‘the global turn’ (pp. –) deserve application to reformation studies everywhere. At times, both Albertoni and Lavenia could have interspersed their comments with more caution about definition, especially of the ‘isms’ – Evangelism, Valdesianism, Radicalism, Waldensianism and Nicodemism: all these appear in the contents list and frequently thereafter. In an English language volume such tortuous words are likely to prompt fretful mutterings about examining terms. These are largely cultural and linguistic matters; they count for little beside the scholarship, wisdom and sheer enthusiasm that created such a challenging volume.

Bequests for tithes forgotten were a staple component of orthodox wills in the early sixteenth century. Interestingly, this element appeared considerably less frequently in these documents in the diocese of (Coventry and) Lichfield and the archdeaconry of Leicester in the 1530s and 1540s. Two probable and possibly inter-related influences were at work: a change of perception of tithes from spiritual redemption to benefice income; and some remembered legacy from Lollard criticism of the purpose of tithes. This examination confirms the idea of a variety of responses in different locations, illustrated by those small adjustments which were achievable by testators.

This paper describes and analyses the remuneration arrangements of Church of Scotland ministers serving rural parishes between 1815 and 1974. It constructs and deploys a new longitudinal and cross-sectional dataset, materially more extensive in range and scope than those previously developed, calibrating the absolute and relative level of stipend throughout the period. It offers a preliminary analysis of the economic consequences for ministers and the established Church of the process of fixing, or standardising, stipends in money terms from 1925 onwards, highlighting how this undermined the financial foundations of the Church's principal means of stipendiary funding.
