Summary
This contribution focuses upon the Fourth Session of the Council (1546), discussing the important issue of scripture and tradition(s), the definition of the biblical canon, the authenticity of the Vulgate, next to the question of the interpretation and diffusion of scriptural books. The subsequent, humanist-minded Fifth Session continued dealing with scriptural matters, and decreed lectureships on the scriptures being established in institutions for the education of the clergy, as a precondition for a qualitative Bible-based preaching.
