Lay Readings of the Bible in Early Modern Europe
The aim of this collection of essays is to bring together new comparative research studies on the place and role of the Bible in early modern Europe. It focuses on lay readings of the Bible, interrogating established historical, social, and confessional paradigms. It highlights the ongoing process of negotiation between the faithful congregation and ecclesiastical institutions, in both Protestant and Catholic countries. It shows how, even in the latter, where biblical translations were eventually forbidden, the laity drew upon the Bible as a source of ethical, cultural, and spiritual inspiration, contributing to the evolution of central aspects of modernity. Interpreting the Bible could indeed be a means of feeding critical perspectives and independent thought and behavior.

«A maggior gloria di Dio»
Il volume indaga la nascita in Italia tra Cinque e Seicento delle cosiddette ‘gesuitesse’, ossia congregazioni di donne laiche, ispirate alla spiritualità della Compagnia di Gesù. Dalle fonti dell’Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu emerge che nella prima età moderna vari direttori spirituali gesuiti aiutarono molte donne, specialmente nobili, a dar vita a comunità senza clausura, dedite a pratiche di perfezionamento e ad attività educative simili a quelle dei loro confessori. Oltre a fornire un censimento di queste congregazioni, lo studio esamina le novità della loro forma vitae e analizza l’atteggiamento, ora di supporto ora di opposizione, che assunsero verso le gesuitesse i principi territoriali, i vescovi, i generali gesuiti, il Sant’Uffizio, le congregazioni romane e i papi.
