La vulgarización de la liturgia en el ambiente del Concilio de Trento. Una fuente privilegiada por Juan Lorenzo Palmireno: el Rationale divinorum officiorum de Guillaume Durand

Abstract

In their final session, the members of the Council of Trent fixed norms for the elaboration of a new catechism and for the definition of what would be called the Trinitarian rite. In harmony with these orientations, the Aragonese humanist Juan Lorenzo Palmireno first proposed a translation of the the Catecismo of Father Edmond Auger, S. J., and added to the second edition of the Estudioso de la aldea (1571) a treatise whose principal source, though never declared as such, was Guillaume Durand’s Rationale divinorum officiorum. It is likely that Diego Sánchez de Badajoz was inspired by this same source some years earlier for his Farsa del Santísimo Sacramento (Recopiliación en metro, 1554). Palmireno’s text recommends more active participation of the faithful in the liturgy celebrated by the clergy.
