Extremely rare first and only edition of this work of German Counter-Reformation literature, a tract on the sacrament by Johann Deublinger, with a prefatory letter to David Kolderer von Burgstall (d. 1579), Bishop of Regensburg, where Deublinger had been suffragan bishop. The work opens with two Latin poems addressed to the ‘violators’ of the Sacrament.
Deublinger argues, using biblical evidence, for an apostolic succession from Christ to his Disciples and therefore for the legitimacy of the holy sacrament as a Catholic tradition ordained directly by Christ, as well as of the Catholic priesthood itself. Deublinger sees the ministry of Christ as a continuation and restoration of the Jewish tradition, placing the sacrament in a long lineage of tradition going back to the ancient Hebrews. This work followed hot on the heels of the 1570 decree by Pope Pius V making the mass as established by the Council of Trent obligatory, thus rejecting all compromise with Protestants and upholding the basic tenets of the Catholic faith.
