The article studies the provincial councils of Tarragona, Spain between 1564 and 1757. It explains that provincial councils, mandated by the Council of Trent in all Catholic provinces, were supposed to bring municipal and monastic representatives together periodically to discuss matters related to religious reforms, jurisdiction, and taxes. However, the councils of Tarragona were the only councils in Spain that continued to convene regularly after initial meetings in the late 1500s, according to the article. The city's unique adherence to the mandate was due to its tradition of councils preceding the Council of Trent, originating in the 11th century when the city was freed from Muslim dominance, the article states.
