The Suppression of the Society of Jesus
"Sydney F. Smith's account of the Suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1773 remains by far the fullest, most wide-ranging, and most detailed treatment of the subject available in English. Based on an exhaustive reading of European sources, it reflects the nineteenth-century debate about the Suppression. Originally published as a series of essays in The Month, a century after the first steps were being taken for the re-establishment of the Order at large and within a few years of the abrogation of Clement XIV's Brief by Leo XIII, this work is now presented to a new readership a century later." "Sydney F. Smith's examination of the episode remains both all intriguing account full of human interest and an indispensable work of reference for historians of the period. The study has been newly edited by Joseph A. Munitiz, SJ with a full index and with an appraisal by a modern scholar, R. W. Truman, to set the work in context."--BOOK JACKET.
Writing Tamil Catholicism
In Writing Tamil Catholicism: Literature, Persuasion and Devotion in the Eighteenth Century, Margherita Trento explores the process by which the Jesuit missionary Costanzo Giuseppe Beschi (1680-1747), in collaboration with a group of local lay elites identified by their profession as catechists, chose Tamil poetry as the social and political language of Catholicism in eighteenth-century South India. Trento analyzes a corpus of Tamil grammars and poems, chiefly Beschi’s Tēmpāvaṇi, alongside archival documents to show how, by presenting themselves as poets and intellectuals, Catholic elites gained a persuasive voice as well as entrance into the learned society of the Tamil country and its networks of patronage. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 840879.
Quetzalcoatl and Guadalupe
"In this study of complex beliefs in which Aztec religion and Spanish Catholicism blend, Lafaye demonstrates the importance of religious beliefs in the formation of the Mexican nation. Far from being of only parochial interest, this volume is of great value to any historian of religions concerned with problems of nativism and syncretism."—Franke J. Neumann, Religious Studies Review
