The Rule, the Bible, and the Council focuses on the decoration of a
Benedictine library conceived and executed within a few years of
the conclusion of the Council of Trent. The Abbey at Praglia, near
Padua, commissioned work from Paolo Veronese and Tintoretto as well
as Battista Zelotti. The authors reconstruct the 16th-century
library room using physical, on-site evidence, extant documents
concerning the furnishings, measurements of the paintings, and
early descriptions to re-create with computer technology the room
furnished and decorated in 1562 -- ca. 1570. Zelotti's 24 paintings
on canvas for the Library at Praglia show a sensitive and clear
articulation of the doctrinal intent planned by the erudite
Benedictine patrons.
