The Mir Āt Al Quds in Context the mirt al-quds in context 19 CHAPTER TWO THE MIRĀT ALQUDS IN CONTEXT 2.1. A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL SURVEY OF THE MIRĀT ALQUDS AND ITS RECEPTION IN EUROPEAN LITERATURE And when father Manoel Pinheiro was here with father Jerome Xavier, in the city of Agra, the latter presented to the King a treatise in the Persian language, on the miracles, life & doctrine of Christ our Lord, which this same King had asked of him and much desired.1 It was with these words that in 1605—only three years after the text had been submitted to Akbar—Father Jerome’s achievement was remarked upon for the first time in print. The announcement was included by Fernão Guerreiro, S.J. (d. 1617), in his first Relaçam, an account of the Jesuits’ work in various regions of Asia, Africa, and South America (fig. 2.1).2 This is a credit to the Jesuits’ ability to put into print information concerning their religious activities in both Europe and the overseas territories in which they had established themselves. This, however, would have been of little use if the members of the Society of Jesus had not organized themselves into a remarkable network that encouraged the fluid communication crucial for the accomplish- ment of their ambitions. Each year, the superior of every Jesuit mission in Asia, Africa, and the Americas was required to send his respective Provincial a com- plete report of his mission’s activities.3 The Provincial of Goa would send the annuae to Rome on different Fig. 2.1.

Demand for these was high, as is published and distributed to the main Jesuit centers revealed by Father Jerome’s letters, in which he repeat- spread across Europe, and sometimes to the overseas edly asked to be sent copies.5 The compilations—such missions as well. 20 chapter two Two years later, Guerreiro’s Relaçam of 1605 reached in 1647. He discussed the origin of the Mirāt al-quds, other Jesuit centers, where—as was then the norm— stating that while in Agra “to persuade the King to parts of it were selected, translated, and included in accept the Christian religion [Father Jerome] gave other works. In 1608, Pierre du Jarric, S.J. (d. 1617) him a book written in the Persian language on the life, began to publish in Bordeaux his own compilation, enti- miracles and doctrine of Our Lord Jesus Christ. He tled Histoire des choses plus mémorables.6 As with Guer- [Akbar] greatly esteemed it, and ordered its reading reiro’s work, it deals with the Jesuits’ activities not only many times, because he found satisfaction in its les- in India but also in other parts of Asia.

Among these is an extraordinary print as the author of a book on the “Life, death and pas- portraying Father Jerome seated next to Akbar in what 9 is supposed to be an interfaith debate at the Mughal sion of Christ in the Persian language.” Father Jerome’s 17 Mirāt al-quds had by then achieved some renown in court (fig. 2.2). An account of Father Jerome’s life appears in the Europe, but occasionally for undesirable reasons. In Chrono-Historia, published in 1710 by Bartolomé de 1639, in a period when Protestants were keen to show Alcázar, S.J. (d. 1721).

Umberto Eco, La memoria vegetale e altri scritti di bibliografia, Milano, Rovello, 2006 Si propone qui un’edizione del catalogo manoscritto della collezione libra- ria di Anthony Collins,1 la cui prima compilazione egli completò nel 1720.2 Nei nove anni successivi tuttavia Collins ampliò enormemente la sua biblioteca, sin quasi a raddoppiarne il numero delle opere. Annotò i nuovi titoli sulle pagine pari del suo catalogo che aveva accortamente riservato a successive integrazio- ni. Dispose le nuove inserzioni in corrispondenza degli autori già schedati, attento a preservare il più possibile l’ordine alfabetico. Questo tuttavia è talora impreciso e discontinuo.3 Le inesattezze, che ricorrono più frequentemente fra i titoli di inclusione più tarda, devono imputarsi alla difficoltà crescente di annotare nel giusto ordine le ingenti e continue acquisizioni.

  • Manresa and Saint Ignatius of Loyola
    JOAN SEGARRA PIJUAN was born in Tárrega, Spain on June 29, 1926. He joined the Society of Jesus in 1942. Seventeen years later he completed his religious and cultural education. On July 29, 1956 – in the Year of Saint Ignatius – he was ordained at the cathedral in Manresa. He has spent much of his life in Veruela, Bar- celona, Sant Cugat del Vallès, Palma (Majorca), Raimat, Rome and Man- resa and has also lived in a number of countries in Central and South Ameri- ca, Africa and Europe. He has always been interested in spi- ritual theology and the study of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. SAINT IGNA- TIUS AND MANRESA describes the Saint’s sojourn here in a simple, rea- dable style. The footnotes and exten- sive bibliography will be of particular interest to scholars wishing the study the life of St. Ignatius in greater de- tail. This book deals only with the months Saint Ignatius spent in Man- resa, which may have been the most interesting part of his life: the months of his pilgrimage and his mystical en- lightenments. Manresa is at the heart of the Pilgrim’s stay in Catalonia because “between Ignatius and Man- resa there is a bond that nothing can break” (Torras y Bages).

  • Trajectories of Croatian Jesuit Historiography Brnardic, Teodora Shek
    From Acceptance to Animosity: Trajectories of Croatian Jesuit Historiography Brnardic, Teodora Shek Teodora Shek Brnardić [email protected] Last modified: March 2018 Introduction The emergence of a Croatian historiography of the Society of Jesus took place in the often virulently anti-Jesuit and anti-clerical atmosphere that was prevalent in Croatia in the second half of the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth century. This period represented a historical crisis for the Jesuit order in Croatia, one that provoked controversies that were largely absent in the pre-suppression period, unlike in many other countries where such disputes had existed ever since the sixteenth century. In 1932, Miroslav Vanino, S.J. (1879–1965) launched a scholarly journal entitled Vrela i prinosi: Zbornik za povijest isusovačkog reda u hrvatskim krajevima (Sources and contributions: Collected papers on the history of the Jesuit order in the Croatian lands),1 which marked a turning point in the creation of a Croatian Jesuit historiography. In doing so, Vanino intended to revise the prevailing view of the pre-suppression Jesuits, who were often accused of behaving in an “anti-national” way. This latter view had become widespread among the educated Croatian elite, particularly during the Austro-Hungarian fin-de-siècle. Vanino’s journal accordingly sought to correct this politically biased interpretation of the Jesuits’ role in Croatian history with articles written by both Jesuit and non-Jesuit contributors.2 The journal would provide the foundation for a source-based, critical history of the Society of Jesus in the Croatian lands and of its relations with the Croats.

COMMENTARII HIS.TORICI ANTONIO POSSEVINO AND JESUITS OF JEWISH ANCESTRY JOHN PATRICK DONNELLY, S.J. - Marquette University, Milwaukee*. I. POSSEVINO'S PROBABLE JEWISH ANCESTRY Contrary to the attitudes of many Spaniards, indeed of many Christians of his time, Ignatius of Loyola was entirely without racial anti-Semitism. His desire to be conformed to Christ in the tiniest details even led him to regret he was not born of Jewish blood. During its formative era, unlike many reli­ gious orders of the sixteenth century, the Society of Jesus welcomed Chris­ tians of Jewish descent into its ranks. As is well known, some of Loyola's closest collaborators were of Jewish descent, for instance, Diego Lainez and l Juan Polanco . Many other Jesuits of Jewish descent made notable con­ 2 tributions, particularly in the foreign missions • It has not been noticed by scholars that Antonio Possevino (1533-1611), a famous figure in the second generation of Jesuit history, was probably born of Jewish Christian ancestry3. His probable Jewish descent seell1S to have affected his later Jesuit career at various stages. His autobiography, which was written for publication but remains in manuscript, says nothing about any Jewish background. He relates that his grandfather and his father mi­ grated from Piedmont to Milan, then after its capture by the Spaniards * The author wishes to thank Marquette University and the Gladys Krieble Delmas Founda­ tion for grants that made the archival research on this article possible.

It was narrated for first time in Spanish and from a Catholic standpoint in Historia ecclesiastica del scisma de Inglaterra (1558), by the Spanish Jesuit Pedro de Ribadeneyra. Although it was thoroughly appreciated at the time and beyond, current literature on this work is very scarce. This paper will analyze the new structure, the additional sources, shortenings and interpolations through which Ribadeneyra reworked De schismate anglicano the Latin work on which his Historia del scisma is based, as well as those passages of dubious historicity that were retained or included by him. The results confirm the thesis that Ribadeneyra uses and deforms facts with an aim to appeal to a Spanish readership and support his plea for their defense of the Roman Catholic faith. Key words: Pedro de Ribadeneyra (1526-1611) Historia ecclesiastica del scisma de Inglaterra Anglo-Spanish relations Anglican Reformation Counter-Reformation Early Modern Historiography.
