First edition. The Catechism of Father Bartolomeu dos Mártires was originally published in 1564 and soon became widely distributed as one of the most important works ever published. Blessed Father Bartolomeu dos Mártires (1514-1590), a native of Lisbon, professed the Order of St. Dominic in 1528. Appointed Archbishop of Braga in 1559, he renounced his episcopal miter in 1582, retiring to the convent of Viana, which he had founded, where he died. He was present at the crucial Council of Trent in its final session, where he affirmed and defended greater closeness between priests and the people and the creation of mandatory seminaries for the training of the clergy.
