I think that, by making the establishment right after the mission that the Bishop ofBeauvais wants to have given there, it will be easy to get all that can be desiredfor the good of the confraternity. I have not done anything at all about suggesting this collection. Addressed: Monsieur Vincent 207. - TO CLEMENT DE BONZI, BISHOP OF BEZIERS [September or October 1635] 1 Your Excellency, I learned from M. Cassan, the brother of a priest from your town of Beziers, that you wanted to know three things about us. Now, since I was unable to have the honor of answering you at that time because I was leaving for the country, I decided to do so now. I shall tell you, first of all, Your Excellency, that we are entirely under the authority of the bishops to go to any place in their diocese they wish to send us to preach, catechize, and hear the general confessions of the poor; ten to fifteen days before ordina- tion, to teach all about mental prayer, practical and necessary theology, and the ceremonies of the Church to those about to be ordained; and to receive the latter into our house, after they are priests, for the purpose of renewing the fervor OurLord has given them at ordination. In a word, we are like the servants of the centurion in the Gospel2 with regard to the bishops, insofar as when they say to us: go, we are obliged to go; if they say: come, we are obliged to come; do that, and we are obliged to do it.

  • Fiestas and Fervor: Religious Life and Catholic Enlightenment in the Diocese of Barcelona, 1766-1775
    FIESTAS AND FERVOR: RELIGIOUS LIFE AND CATHOLIC ENLIGHTENMENT IN THE DIOCESE OF BARCELONA, 1766-1775 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrea J. Smidt, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Dale K. Van Kley, Adviser Professor N. Geoffrey Parker Professor Kenneth J. Andrien ____________________ Adviser History Graduate Program ABSTRACT The Enlightenment, or the "Age of Reason," had a profound impact on eighteenth-century Europe, especially on its religion, producing both outright atheism and powerful movements of religious reform within the Church. The former—culminating in the French Revolution—has attracted many scholars; the latter has been relatively neglected. By looking at "enlightened" attempts to reform popular religious practices in Spain, my project examines the religious fervor of people whose story usually escapes historical attention. "Fiestas and Fervor" reveals the capacity of the Enlightenment to reform the Catholicism of ordinary Spaniards, examining how enlightened or Reform Catholicism affected popular piety in the diocese of Barcelona. This study focuses on the efforts of an exceptional figure of Reform Catholicism and Enlightenment Spain—Josep Climent i Avinent, Bishop of Barcelona from 1766- 1775. The program of “Enlightenment” as sponsored by the Spanish monarchy was one that did not question the Catholic faith and that championed economic progress and the advancement of the sciences, primarily benefiting the elite of Spanish society. In this context, Climent is noteworthy not only because his idea of “Catholic Enlightenment” opposed that sponsored by the Spanish monarchy but also because his was one that implicitly condemned the present hierarchy of the Catholic Church and explicitly ii advocated popular enlightenment and the creation of a more independent “public sphere” in Spain by means of increased literacy and education of the masses.

  • Decadent Wealth, Degenerate Morality, Dominance, and Devotion: the Discordant Iconicity of the Rich Mountain of Potosí
    Decadent Wealth, Degenerate Morality, Dominance, and Devotion: The Discordant Iconicity of the Rich Mountain of Potosí Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Claudia A. Cornejo Happel, M.A. Graduate Program in Spanish and Portuguese The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Lisa Voigt, Advisor Lúcia Costigán Elizabeth Davis Copyright by Claudia A. Cornejo Happel 2014 Abstract The rich mountain of Potosí, with its famed silver mines, has commanded the attention of Europeans, creoles (Americans of Spanish descent), and indigenous Andeans since the Spanish colonizers of Peru were made aware of its existence in 1545. Soon after its discovery, the rich mountain was represented in a variety of written and visual texts created by writers and artists from the Andes, Spain, and other parts of Europe. Independent of its physical form, in these representations the rich mountain assumed a discursive meaning, functioning as an icon that, depending on the context, represented abstract ideas of wealth, immorality, dominance, and spirituality. This dissertation brings together texts, images, and maps to discuss the multifaceted iconicity of Potosí and its cultural salience in these representations. Besides functioning as an icon that supported Spain’s “official history,” a discourse that presented Spanish achievements as heroic and providential, other representations of the rich mountain supported alternative discourses regarding Spanish colonial history. To advance individual and nationalistic agendas, authors, artists, and mapmakers strove to control the meaning associated with the iconic rich mountain. My dissertation shows that for an early modern audience the mountain of Potosí was more than just a source of silver; it was also an icon that contributed to discourses negotiating issues of economy, morality, spatial and political dominance, and spiritual expression.

  • Fonds Marine
    ARCHIVES NATIONALES FONDS MARINE SOUS-SÉRIE B/4 : CAMPAGNES Mar/B/4/1 à Mar/B/4/203 1571-1785 [1787] Inventaire par Marguerite-Marie CAROF et H.- G MADAULE 1935-1978 dactylographié par Armande Perlot en 2009 revu par Pauline Gendry et Camille Anciaux en 2010 2011 AVERTISSEMENT La sous-série Marine B/4 est totalement artificielle. Sa création remonte à 1785, date à laquelle le maréchal de Castries, secrétaire d'État de la marine, confia à deux officiers la tâche d'extraire les documents les plus marquants des fonds existants afin de constituer des dossiers de campagnes. Ce travail fut repris en 1808 et 1812, puis enfin en 1862 : la sous-série Marine B/4 aurait dû alors, en principe, regrouper les ordres du roi relatifs à chaque campagne, les instructions données aux commandants de formations navales ou de bâtiments isolés, les comptes rendus de missions, de combats et d'événements de mer, la correspondance portuaire relative à l'armement des bâtiments du roi désignés pour campagne, enfin la correspondance des autorités coloniales françaises. En réalité, seuls des expéditions non signées, des minutes et des brouillons d'ordres et d'instructions du roi et du ministre sont réunis dans cette subdivision. De même, la plupart des documents relatifs aux armements ont été intégrés dans les sous-séries Marine B/8 et Marine B/5, tandis que la correspondance des autorités coloniales a trouvé place dans les diverses subdivisions des archives des colonies. En revanche, les lettres et mémoires relatifs aux campagnes effectuées par les galères ont été arbitrairement partagés entre les sous-séries Marine B/4 et Marine B/6.
