Bishop of Vienna, privy councillor and theological advisor to the invincible Emperor Ferdinand; *In catholicum Catechismum libri quinque* (Five Books on the Catholic Catechism).

A rare edition of an important work of Catholic reform: In his *In catholicum Catechismum libri quinque*, Friedrich Nausea (Nausea Blancicampianus, Bishop of Vienna and theologian to Emperor Ferdinand I) presents a comprehensive exposition of the Catholic catechism in five books, intended to be "not merely beneficial, but absolutely essential for all ecclesiastics." Printed in 1551 by Steelsius in Antwerp, this Latin edition forms part of the early Catholic response to the Reformation, offering a systematic presentation of doctrine, the sacraments, and pastoral practice for the clergy.
