John M. Flannery describes the establishment and activities of the Portuguese Augustinian mission in Persia.
The Jesuit Order As a Synagogue of Jews
In "The Jesuit Order as a Synagogue of Jews" the author explains how Christians with Jewish family backgrounds went within less than forty years from having a leading role in the foundation of the Society of Jesus to being prohibited from membership in it. The author works at the intersection to two important historical topics, each of which attracts considerable scholarly attention but that have never received sustained and careful attention together, namely, the early modern histories of the Jesuit order and of Iberian purity of blood concerns. An analysis of the pro- and anti-converso texts in this book (both in terms of what they are claiming and what their limits are) advance our understanding of early modern, institutional Catholicism at the intersection of early modern religious reform and the new racism developing in Spain and spreading outwards.

Jesuits and Race
Jesuits and Race examines the role that the Society of Jesus played in shaping Western understandings about race and explores the impact the Order had on the lives and societies of non-European peoples throughout history. Jesuits provide an unusual, if not unique, lens through which to view the topic of race given the global nature of the Society of Jesus and the priests’ interest in humanity, salvation, conversion, science, and nature. Jesuits’ global presence in missions, imperial expansion, and education lends insight into the differences in patterns of estrangement and assimilation, as well as enfranchisement and coercion, with people from Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The essays in this collection bring together case studies from around the world as a first step toward a comparative analysis of Jesuit engagement with racialized difference. The authors hone in on labor practices, social structures, and religious agendas at salient moments during the long span of Jesuit history in this fascinating volume.
Iberische Grenzregime
Die Iberische Halbinsel im Mittelalter war durch eine interreligiöse sowie zahlreiche binnen-christliche Grenzziehungen gekennzeichnet. Erstmals vergleicht die vorliegende Studie systematisch die Grenzen des Königreiches Kastilien zu seinen Anrainern Aragón, Navarra, León, Portugal und dem Naṣridenemirat. In raumsoziologischer Perspektive werden die Konstruktionsmechanismen von Herrschaftsgrenzen anhand der kastilischen Vertragsdiplomatie erörtert (ca. 1140 bis 1400). Vertragliche Argumentationen sowie historische und naturräumliche Bezüge zeigen, dass der Faktor der Interreligiosität hinter diplomatische Rahmenbedingen zurücktreten konnte. Die exemplarische Untersuchung lokaler Abgrenzungen, der Regulierung von Konflikten und des Handels an jeweils zwei kastilischen Grenzabschnitten zeigt das Wirkgefüge monarchischer, überregionaler und lokaler Akteure im Grenzregime. Die Arbeit eröffnet ein nuancierteres Verständnis der räumlichen Dimension von Herrschaft und demonstriert, wie einheitlich-religiöse und gemischt-religiöse Abgrenzungsprozesse vergleichend untersucht werden können.
The Threat of Geopolitics to International Relations
Geopolitics, both in name, and in its application via geostrategy, is a controversial area of international relations. Although the practice of obtaining resources is as old as Mankind, the word came into its own with the imperial policies of the great powers in the nineteenth century, was used to justify world wars, went into decline, but was ‘taken to America’ and then re-exported to Europe after the last war by the likes of Henry Kissinger. Nowadays, the term is used unconsciously by politicians obsessed with power, often to justify war. This book tears apart the simplistic thinking of geopolitics, and proposes its replacement with the authors’ own method of ‘geohistory’, a method based on recognising that at the base of any analysis and evaluation of the international situation lie human characteristics.

Communication, Translation, and Community in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period
Literature serves many purposes, and one of them certainly proves to be to convey messages, wisdom, and instruction, and this across languages, religions, and cultures. Beyond that, as the contributors to this volume underscore, people have always endeavored to reach out to their community members, that is, to build community, to learn from each other, and to teach. Hence, this volume explores the meaning of communication, translation, and community building based on the medium of language. While all these aspects have already been discussed in many different venues, the contributors endeavor to explore a host of heretofore less considered historical, religious, literary, political, and ling...
