A shared biblical past has long imbued the Holy Land with special
authority as well as a mythic character that has made the region
not only the spiritual home for Muslims, Christians, and Jews, but
also a source of a living sacred history that informs contemporary
realities and religious identities. This book explores the Holy
Land as a critical site in which early modern Catholics sought
spiritual and political legitimacy during a period of profound and
disruptive change. The Ottoman conquest of the region, the division
of the Western Church, Catholic reform, the integration of the
Mediterranean into global trading networks, and the emergence of
new imperial rivalries transformed the Custody of the Holy Land,
the venerable Catholic institution that had overseen Western
pilgrimage since 1342, into a site of intense intra-Christian
conflict by 1517. This contestation underscored the Holy Land's
importance as a frontier and center of an embattled Catholic
tradition.
