Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Catholic Tractates of the Sixteenth Century: 1573-1600; Tyrie´s Refutation, 1573; Hay´s Demandes, 1580; Hamilton´s Catholik Taictise, 1581; Burne´s Disputation, 1581; Canisius´ Catechism, 1588; Hamilton´s Facile Traictise, 1600; Ane Schort Catholik Confession, Ms.; Selections Edited, With Introducti The controversial and catechetical tracts written by Scottish Roman Catholics and issued from foreign presses during the reign of James VI. cannot claim to take rank as classics of the language. They cannot be compared from a literary point of view with the famous catechism set forth by the authority of Archbishop Hamilton in 1552; nor do they possess the idiomatic vigour or historic interest which distinguish the writings of Ninian Winzet, or, in a less degree, of Quintine Kennedy, composed in the heat of the Reformation struggle. Yet these curious tracts cannot be passed over in any complete survey of the Scottish literature of the sixteenth century. When the vernacular literature, in the hands of the dominant ecclesiastical party after 1560, was becoming rapidly Anglicised, mainly under the influence of the English Bible, the remnant of the old Church maintained or affected a certain linguistic conservatism, and made it a point of honour to adhere to their mother tongue.
