Jesuit Books in the Dutch Republic and its Generality Lands 1567-1773
This book gives a detailed description of all books, published in the Dutch Republic and its Generality Lands between 1567 and 1773 – the year in which the Society of Jesus was suppressed by Pope Clement XIV for political reasons –, written by Jesuits from the Low Countries and elsewhere. Locations of the books are given, as far as possible, as well as bibliographical sources. Many of these publications are pirate editions, mainly from France and Germany. Technical and historical introductions precede this bibliography, and several indexes and registers conclude this work. The titles show the areas in which Jesuits have been active, and indicate their influence in many fields. A similar work has never been attempted before.
The Reform of Christian Doctrine in the Catechisms of Peter Canisius
The catechisms of Peter Canisius highlight the struggle within the Catholic Church to reframe Christian identity after the Protestant Reformation. In contrast to the defensive catechesis of Rome, Canisius's catechisms proposed to achieve orthodoxy by encouraging Christian piety.
Reimagining the Globe and Cultural Exchange: The East Asian Legacies of Matteo Ricci's World Map
How did Asia come to be represented on European World maps? When and how did Asian Countries adopt a continental system for understanding the world? How did countries with disparate mapping traditions come to share a basic understanding and vision of the globe? This series of essays organized into sections on Jesuit Circuits of Communication and Publication; Jesuit World Maps in Chinese; Reverberations of Matteo Ricci's Maps in East Asia; and Reflections on the Curation of Cartographic Knowledge, go a long way toward answering these questions about the shaping of our modern understandings of the world.
Powers of Imagining
This book presents a new translation of the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius de Loyola, of his Spiritual Diary, of his Autobiography, and some of his letters. These translations are introduced by a hermeneutical commentary laying out the theory and practices of the decision-making power of imagining. Ignatius proposed in his Spiritual Exercises a form of decision-oriented mysticism, and through their use, gathered around him a group of associates who became the firs members of the Jesuit Order. Under the control of later, doctrinally oriented theologians, the practical, decision-oriented mystical character of the original Exercises was gradually replaced by a more theoretical and devotional character. Antonio T. de Nicolas recovers in his translations and through his critical apparatus, the original decision-oriented thrust of Ignatius.
Jesuit Books in the Low Countries 1540-1773
This volume deals with books, published in the Low Countries, presently housed in the Maurits Sabbe Library, K.U.Leuven (Belgium). The seventy book reviews, written by some fifty specialised scholars, convey an idea of the richness of the Jesuitica collection at this library, which includes the large Jesuitica collections of the Flemish and Dutch Jesuits, introducing the research community to the plethora of possibilities for further inquiry. The selection comprises a great variety of topics: organization and history of the Society, theology in all its aspects, education, missions, history, geography and science. Even pamphlets and books in which the Jesuits are the object of slander are dealt with. Not only does this book provide a glimpse of the many local and foreign Jesuits and the contexts in which they operated during those centuries, but it equally sheds light on the Low Countries book production in the period of the 'Old Society', 1540-1773.
A Companion to Multiconfessionalism in the Early Modern World
This volume brings together recent scholarship on early modern multiconfessionalism that challenges accepted notions of reformation, confessionalization, and state-building and suggests a new vision of religions, state, and society in early modern Europe.
Spirit, Style, Story
A collection of essays on the development of the Jesuits and the Ignatian spirit covers such topics as the Jesuit education, the order's influence on the world throughout its 450-year history, and the variations of its spiritual expressions. Original.
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.
