Ignace de Loyola. Biographie
Toutes les Vies d'Ignace de Loyola ont été écrites comme celles d'un saint : depuis le doigt de Dieu pointé sur lui comme un destin. Pour la première fois, Enrique García Hernán rapporte la vie d'un homme, dans une enquête passionnante et minutieuse, écrite non pas comme un récit providentiel, mais comme une aventure, en l'un des temps les plus incertains de l'histoire de l'Europe, puisqu'Ignace naît en 1491, un an avant l'" invention " des Amériques, et meurt en 1556, entre deux sessions du Concile de Trente qui accouche, dans la douleur, du catholicisme moderne. Lire cette vie mouvementée du fondateur de la Compagnie de Jésus, c'est redécouvrir ce que c'est qu'un grand homme...
Ignacio de Loyola
A lo largo de su azarosa vida, Ignacio de Loyola fue un hombre de muchas facetas: paje, soldado, peregrino, estudiante y sacerdote. Se vio obligado a hacer frente a grandes limitaciones, empezando por su escasa prestancia y su constante mala salud, y tampoco poseyó grandes dotes para el estudio ni la producción literaria. ¿Cuál fue entonces el secreto de su enorme carisma, que le permitió no solo fundar la Compañía de Jesús sino además ser declarado santo por la Iglesia Católica? De la minuciosa labor de investigación de Enrique García Hernán emerge una figura que forjó su identidad con materiales contradictorios, un mediador flexible, inteligente y creativo, con excepcional ca...
Vives y Moro
El filósofo valenciano Juan Luis Vives, muerto en 1540, es una de las figuras más sobresalientes de nuestra historia nacional y quizá la más representativa del siglo cultural en que vivió, pero no se ha puesto suficientemente de relieve su relación con otro gran personaje de la historia de Inglaterra amigo suyo, sir Tomás Moro, que sigue siendo un enigma histórico por su decapitación en 1535. La propuesta de este libro es que uno y otro se complementan, lo que nos ayuda a comprenderlos mejor, porque en Vives podemos encontrar a Moro y en Moro a Vives.
Rome and Irish Catholicism in the Atlantic World, 1622–1908
This book builds upon research on the role of Catholicism in creating and strengthening a global Irish identity, complementing existing scholarship by adding a ‘Roman perspective’. It assesses the direct agency of the Holy See, its role in the Irish collective imagination, and the extent and limitations of Irish influence over the Holy See’s policies and decisions. Revealing the centrality of the Holy See in the development of a series of missionary connections across the Atlantic world and Rome, the chapters in this collection consider the formation, causes and consequences of these networks both in Ireland and abroad. The book offers a long durée perspective, covering both the early modern and modern periods, to show how Irish Catholicism expanded across continental Europe and over the Atlantic across three centuries. It also offers new insights into the history of Irish migration, exploring the position of the Irish Catholic clergy in Atlantic communities of Irish migrants.
In Good Faith
The century that followed the fall of Granada at the end of 1491 and the subsequent consolidation of Christian power over the Iberian Peninsula was marked by the introduction of anti-Arabic legislation and the development of hostile cultural norms affecting Arabic speakers. Yet as Spanish institutions of power first restricted and then eliminated Arabic language use, marginalizing Arabic-speaking communities, officially sanctioned translation to and from Arabic played an increasingly crucial role in brokering the administration of the growing Spanish empire and its overseas territories. The move on the peninsula from a regime of legal pluralism to one of religious and legal orthodoxy created...
Ireland and Spain in the Reign of Philip II
"Ireland and Spain in the Reign of Philip II is a study of the evolution and the nature of political and religious relations between the two countries during the reign of the remarkable, and often-misunderstood, Philip II. The first four chapters, chronological in order, deal with the phenomenon of Irish exile in Spanish lands and the Spanish monarchy's involvement with exiles and their cause back home. Two further chapters trace the progress of the Irish in the Spanish army and the church. During this period, the Irish effectively established a new Ireland within Spain." "The great strength of this book is the fact that it has successfully mined the Spanish archives for much hitherto unknown material on the subject." --Book Jacket.
The Society of Jesus in Ireland, Scotland, and England, 1589-1597
English Catholic voices, once disregarded as merely confessional, are now acknowledged to provide important perspectives on Elizabethan society. Based on extensive archival research, this book builds on previous studies for the first thorough investigation of the Jesuit mission to England during a critical period between the unsuccessful armadas of 1588 and 1597, a period during which the mission was threatened as much by internal Catholic conflict as it was by the crown. To address properly events in England, the study fully engages with the situation in Ireland, Scotland and the continent so as to contextualize the ambitions, methods and effects of the Jesuit mission. For England felt thre...
