Abstract

Fr. Luis Martín García was superior general of the Society of Jesus during one of the most fractious periods in western history, from 1892 to his death in 1906. Fortunately for both the church and his order, he was endowed with remarkable gifts of mind and spirit. He was also troubled with personal challenges that he had to face almost entirely on his own. As an aid, he kept a memoir, prodigious in both size and content, to be published posthumously. The memoir appeared in a critical Spanish edition in 1988. In this present book, David Schultenover provides a condensed English version of it along with an interpretation that engages the question, why would a Jesuit superior general leave to posterity such a candid memoir? The subtitle “Showing Up” provides a clue.

Abstract

This volume is the critical edition of a seventeenth-century manuscript about youth and education in Italy, Memoirs of Seventeen Boarders at the College of Nobles in Parma (1670), preserved at the Biblioteca Comunale “Passerini Landi”, Piacenza. A later manuscript at the Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu was part of a publication project that never went ahead in the 1820s, shortly after the papal restoration of the Society of Jesus. Published for the first time, the work is by Orazio Smeraldi SJ (1592–1672) and narrates the lives and premature deaths of a number of young boarders who were at the college overseen by the Society of Jesus. It is filled with insights into college life, seen through the eyes of the author. Edited by Miriam Turrini, the book includes the full transcribed text of Memoirs in the original Italian language, with extensive annotations and a substantial Introduction in English that places the work and its author in context. Orazio Smeraldi’s work is a valuable source for scholars and students of the history of education, and of the Jesuit role in the early modern pedagogical sphere. --

Abstract

The history of the Irish College in Rome between 1771 and 1826 offers an insider’s view of more than just the College itself; it sheds important light on the effects of the suppression of the Jesuits in 1773 and the suppression of the Church more generally during the French period (1796-1814). Using the Irish College as a prism, this work reveals how troubling, how long, and how deep-rooted the effects of these fateful events were on the Church. For a half-century, the College felt the theological, financial, and administrative anomalies which followed Dominus ac Redemptor, the papal bull of suppression. The men at the centre of the Jesuit plot were also those who took up roles at institutions like the Irish College, following the order’s demise. What is less understood is that the efforts to topple these men and their agendas produced another wave of deleterious effects during the pontificates of Pius VI (r. 1775-1799) and Pius VII (r. 1800-1821). Thus, the lies, or half-truths, which were necessary to effect the Jesuit suppression, were adopted by subsequent administrations, initially to further this agenda under Clement XVI (r. 1769-1774) and later to overturn it, producing a weak Church and ineffective member institutions, such as the Irish College.

Abstract

"The book was drafted by Jesuits and their students of the Flemish province to commemorate the Society of Jesus's hundred years of existence. It was as much a homage to the Society's founders as a celebration of the spiritual and material achievements of its members over the century, with a particular emphasis on the order's missionary vocation. From the moment of its publication, the Imago was attacked by the Jesuits' enemies: both Protestants and Jansenists denounced the Society's arrogance as well as its casuistical methods. Here is not the place to relate the history of the work or its reception, but it seemed essential to us to highlight the significance of the emblems illustrating the book's"--
