Description

picture of a cast silver medal, about 1580, diameter 34 mm, copy of the original of about 1545, derising the concily of Trente. This medal shows a cardinal and a pope, but when inverted, it shows a deamon and a joker. This image version is the "correct" one, please check Image:Trente-2.jpg for other version.

"ECCLESIA PERVERSA TENET FACIEM DIABOLI":

Français : « L'Église perverse a le visage du diable ». « Perversa » offre un jeu de mots puisqu'il signifie aussi "entièrement retourné" (de 180°).
English: "The perverted church got the face of the devil". "Perversa" is a play of word, as it also means "completely return" (by 180°)

"SAPIENTES STULTI ALIQUANDO":

Français : « Les sages sont quelquefois des imbéciles »
English: "The wisemen are sometimes the dumbs.
