The English Summary of Volumes I—II
Artistic representation in the Catholic Church in the mid-16th century followed the legacy of the late Middle Ages : the winged altars and frescoes of churches remained, and their furnishings remained in use. The old liturgical objects - textiles and goldsmith work — were also used. New items were made only rarely: Pál Bornemissza, Bishop of Veszprém and Transylvania had his 14th century mitre refurbished in Vienna in 1550, and the altar cross of Márton Pethe of Hetes, Archbishop of Kalocsa and Bishop of Győr, was made in Ulm. The Jesuits made considerable use of art in their work, particularly favouring reproduction graphics. The title pages of the Kalauz by Péter Pázmány, Archbishop of Esztergom, and of the Catholic translation of the Bible demonstrate this very clearly: both feature the Hungarian saints, the holy representatives of the country's medieval past, and the Patrona Hungáriáé, i.e. the Virgin Mary as Hungary's patron. György Káldy's translation of the Bible was published with two different title pages: St Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the order, and thejesuit saints appear on the first version but not on the second: the figures were removed from the printing plate and replaced by the long inscription of the title. The excised piece came to light, but the rest of the plate is lost. Péter Pázmány also founded the University of Nagyszombat (the forerunner of the Eötvös Loránd University of Budapest). One of its ceremonial insignia, the enormous silver sceptre, was made in Augsburg, perhaps ordered by Pázmány.
