Jesuit Survival and Restoration
In Jesuit Survival and Restoration leading scholars from around the world discuss the most dramatic event in the Society of Jesus's history. The order was suppressed by papal command in 1773 and for the next forty-one years ex-Jesuits endeavoured to keep the Ignatian spirit alive and worked towards the order's restoration. When this goal was achieved in 1814 the Society entered one of its most dynamic but troubled eras. The contributions in the volume trace this story in a global perspective, looking at developments in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
Gender and Exemplarity in Medieval and Early Modern Spain
Gender and Exemplarity in Medieval and Early Modern Spain gathers a series of studies on the interplay between gender, sanctity and exemplarity in regard to literary production in the Iberian peninsula. The first section examines how women were con¬strued as saintly examples through narratives, mostly composed by male writers; the second focuses on the use made of exemplary life-accounts by women writers in order to fashion their own social identity and their role as authors. The volume includes studies on relevant models (Mary Magdalen, Virgin Mary, living saints), means of transmission, sponsorship and agency (reading circles, print, patronage), and female writers (Leonor López de Córdoba, Isabel de Villena, Teresa of Ávila) involved in creating textual exemplars for women. Contributors are: Pablo Acosta-García, Andrew M. Beresford, Jimena Gamba Corradine, Ryan D. Giles, María Morrás, Lesley K. Twomey, Roa Vidal Doval, and Christopher van Ginhoven Rey.
The Jesuits
"Since its founding by Ignatius of Loyola in 1540, the Society of Jesus ("The Jesuits") has been intimately involved in the unfolding of the modern world. The young Jesuit order played a crucial role in the Counter Reformation, especially in Poland, southern Germany, and several other parts of Europe. The Jesuits were also participants in the establishment and spread of European empires, engaging in missionary activity in east and south Asia in the 16th and 17th centuries, and becoming central to the spreading of Christianity in the New World. At the same time, Jesuits often tangled with the Roman curia and the Pope, leading to the suppression of the Jesuits in 1773. After the subsequent res...
Translating the Hebrew Bible in Medieval Iberia
Translating the Hebrew Bible in Medieval Iberia provides the princeps diplomatic edition and a comprehensive study of Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Hunt. 268. The manuscript, produced in the Iberian Peninsula in the late thirteenth century, features a biblical glossary-commentary in Hebrew that includes 2,018 glosses in the vernacular and 156 in Arabic, and to date is the only manuscript of these characteristics known to have been produced in this region. Esperanza Alfonso has edited the text and presents here a study of it, examining its pedagogical function, its sources, its exegetical content, and its extraordinary value for the study of biblical translation in the Iberian Peninsula and in the Sephardic Diaspora. Javier del Barco provides a detailed linguistic study and a glossary of the corpus of vernacular glosses.

La Compañía de Jesús, del exilio a la restauración. Diez estudios
Cuando se cumplen 250 años de la expulsión de los jesuitas de los dominios del rey de España, se abordan en este libro algunas de las principales cuestiones relacionadas con un acontecimiento considerado central en la historia del siglo XVIII, como son el exilio, las negociaciones para lograr la supresión de la orden ignaciana en 1773, la actividad cultural desarrollada por algunos de los exiliados en Italia, específicamente por el valenciano Juan Andrés, el destino que se dio a algunos centros educativos que dirigió la Compañía tanto en España como en América, la preocupación de las autoridades metropolitanas por la incidencia que la expulsión podía tener en la defensa de las Indias, la campaña de los exiliados contra las ideas ilustradas y revolucionarias en torno a los acontecimientos de 1808 y, finalmente, la discusión en 1815 sobre la conveniencia de restaurar la Compañía en España.
Philip IV and the World of Spain's Rey Planeta
Did Spain fall into decline or flourish in the seventeenth century? This edited collection looks at perceptions and representations of Philip IV, Spain's 'Planet King', and his government against the backdrop of the seventeenth-century General Crisis in Europe, wars, revolutions and a sovereign debt crisis. Scholars often associate Philip's reign (1621-1665) with decline, decadence, crisis, stagnation and adversity (as did many contemporaries); yet the glittering cultural and artistic achievements (enhanced by his patronage) of the period led it to be dubbed 'the' Golden Age. The book analyses these contradictions, examining Philip's own understanding of kingship and how he and his courtiers used art and ceremony to project an image of strength, tradition, culture and prestige, while, at the same time, the empire grappled with revolts in Europe and falling trade with its New World colonies.
The Years of Jesuit Suppression, 1773–1814: Survival, Setbacks, and Transformation
The forty-one years between the Society of Jesus’s papal suppression in 1773 and its eventual restoration in 1814 remain controversial, with new research and interpretations continually appearing. Shore’s narrative approaches these years, and the period preceding the suppression, from a new perspective that covers individuals not usually discussed in works dealing with this topic. As well as examining the contributions of former Jesuits to fields as diverse as ethnology—a term and concept pioneered by an ex-Jesuit—and library science, where Jesuits and ex-Jesuits laid the groundwork for the great advances of the nineteenth century, the essay also explores the period the exiled Society spent in the Russian Empire. It concludes with a discussion of the Society’s restoration in the broader context of world history.

Desterrats per ordre de Carles III
L’any 1767, els jesuïtes que vivien a l’antic regne de València (190 en total) van patir les conseqüències del fet històric que més va commoure l’Europa catòlica del set-cents: l’expulsió de la Companyia de Jesús dels dominis de Carles III. A partir de les fonts documentals, es reconstrueixen els esdeveniments des de l’assetjament inicial a aquests religiosos valencians, amb la consegüent expulsió, l’exili involuntari a Còrsega i a Itàlia i, finalment, el retorn a terres valencianes quaranta-nou anys després. Una panoràmica completa, doncs, del procés fins a la restauració de l’orde jesuític i el restabliment d’aquest a València, el 1816.
