This project was developed at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and The National Endowment for the Humanities funded early years of the work. We are interested in global questions about worship in Renaissance Europe. We wish to portray here the European books of ritual for the several Catholic churches and also books for Protestant and Jewish faiths during the tumultuous generations before 1601. Our goal is to help colleagues find the books that can strengthen their research. This information is based upon personal inspections of books in most of the major research libraries of the United States and also libraries in a few selected European cities.
Some additional information derives from published bibliographies and library catalogs.
The data are copies from another database maintained at another location and managed by the software ProCite. Although information at the worksite is regularly updated, the MDAS file that is publicly available is updated no more than once each three months. By language of texts We invite you to browse through our web pages. For advice on citing this or other online sources, see The Columbia Guide to Online Style .
