Abstract:

Catechism primers are inconspicuous but telling little books for children
combining the teaching of reading skills and religious catechesis. From the
16th to the 19th centuries, they have been produced, disseminated and used in
huge numbers in many regions of the world, in particular in Europe.
Remarkably, similar texts appeared across the continent, spanning confessional
traditions that were in other respects highly divergent. In different places,
and across the whole period, different denominations used not only similar
pedagogical and religious strategies, but also shared the same formats and
iconography.
This volume, edited by scholars from Finland, Germany, Switzerland, and the
United Kingdom, is the result of a collaborative transnational and
interdisciplinary effort including education, language teaching, children’s
literature, book history, and religious studies. With contributions on
seventeen European countries and regions, it sheds new light on a fascinating
but largely neglected part of European cultural heritage, and, by establishing
a comprehensive and authoritative summary of the field, offers fresh impetus
for further transnational research.
