History of the Council of Trent
In Rome, he lived at the Campo Santo Teutonico in the Vatican and was thus under the protection of Pope Pius XII during the German occupation. He worked on a history of the Council of Trent, which he published in the years 1951–1976.[5] Jedin created the most comprehensive description of the Council in his History of the Council of Trent (Geschichte des Konzils von Trient with about 2400 pages in four volumes:
- The History of the Council of Trent: The Fight for a Council [6]
- The History of the Council of Trent: The First Sessions in Trent 1545–1547 [7]
- The History of the Council of Trent: Sessions in Bologna 1547–1548 and Trent 1551–1552 [8]
- The History of the Council of Trent: Third Period and Conclusion [9]
Vatican II
After the war he was rehabilitated in Germany and accepted a professorship at the University of Bonn in 1948. Pope John XXIII nominated him to assist in the preparation of the Second Vatican Council in 1960. He continued to work for the council until it ended in 1965.[10]
Publications
His work includes over seven-hundred titles, including forty books and 250 articles in journals. Jedin issued numerous publications on the council of Trent, which, in his view, determined the relation of Catholics and Protestants for centuries. He addressed issues of controversy, trying to give interpretations of ecumenical perspectives at that time. In addition, he oversaw the publication of a seven-volume Church History (1963-1979), an Atlas of Church History (1979), and the fundamental Lexikon für Theologie und Kirche (1957-1975, Encyclopedia for Theology and the Church). As a historian, he leaned on
