With the conclusion of the Council of Trent in 1563, the Catholic Church embarked on a systematic reform of the liturgy. This opened up a wealth of opportunities for European publishers. The reformed texts, which sweepingly discarded and replaced the old ones, suddenly created an artificial demand in one of the most lucrative sectors of the publishing industry at the time. With the new impetus given to evangelism by the incipient colonialism, the aims of this plan were no longer pan-European, but ostensibly global. The range of markets that publishers could potentially serve was expanded accordingly. This workshop aims to explore the purposes, workings, and the economic implications for printers and publishers of the ambitious programme set in motion by Trent.
