Johannes Molanus (1533-1585), Counter-Reformation theologian and 'arguably the most important writer for the pro-image party after the Council of Trent' (Freedberg, 1976, 'The Representation of Martyrdoms During The Early Counter-Reformation in Antwerp', Burlington Magazine 118, 137). Molanus first published this reissue of the Usuardi Martyrologium in 1568, 'complete with his notes and a long critical Praefatio' (Marino 2018, 'Approaching the Martyrologium Romanum: A semiotic perspective', Lexia: Rivista di semiotica 31-32, p. 185). Usuard's Martyrologium, compiled by the Parisian Benedictine Usuard and written shortly before the author's death in 875, was the most influential martyrology of the Middle Ages. Molanus' second 1573 edition of Usuard, which further revised his additions and commentary, was published a decade before the official Martyrologium Romanum, whose authors held the honest and conscientious, 'probe et consciencieuse' work of Molanus in high esteem, often following his work unquestioningly, 'suivirent Molanus sans le contrà ler' ( Baudouin, 1956, '"Sub Iuliano Apostata" dans le martyrologe romain', Analecta bollandiana 74, 1-2, 8, 10). Molanus' work thus stands as an important bridge between medieval martyrologies and the Martyrologium Romanum. The Indiculus Sanctorum Belgii, 'a small work on the Belgian saints' (Freedberg, 137) was also the work of Molanus, first published (this edition) in 1573, then again in 1583. Molanus' executors published his more substantial posthumous work on the subject, Natales Sanctorum Belgii, in 1595. Robust packaging. Tracking is always added to USA orders.
