Alapos, több mint két évvel korábban kezdett szakmai egyeztetések, kutatások és előtanulmányok előzték meg a rendezvényt, amely számos további intézmény kooperációjával valósult meg. A szervezőkön túl együtt- működő partnerek voltak a magyarországi és határon túli egyetemek régi magyar irodalom tanszékei, a Refo 500 – Refo RC nemzetközi konzorcium, az Országos Széchényi Könyv- tár, Magyarország Kormányának Reformáció Emlékbizottsága, Debrecen Megyei Jogú Város, a Tiszántúli Református Egyházkerület, a Debreceni Református Hittudományi Egyetem, a Tiszántúli Református Egyházkerület Tudományos Gyűjteményei, a Refor- mátus Művelődés- és Iskolatörténeti Kutatóintézet és a Magyarországi Evangélikus Egy- ház. A konferencia a Magyar Tudományos Akadémia Irodalomtudományi Intézetében megszervezett, a magyarországi középkori és kora újkori irodalom-, művelődés-, egyház- és művészettörténeti kutatásokat összefogó ReBaKucs (Reneszánsz–Barokk Kutatócsoport) 1970 óta minden évben megrendezett sorozatába illeszkedett, annak 48. alkalmaként. Kötetünk a konferencia előadásainak bővített, szaktanulmányokká szerkesztett válto- zatait tartalmazza, két elhangzott referátum kivételével. A közzétett 25 írás azt a kérdést vizsgálja, hogy a kora újkor során Magyarországon, illetve a Német-római Birodalomban miképpen emlékeztek a protestánsok és a katolikusok – tudatosan, reflektív módon vagy éppen rejtetten, utólag kikövetkeztethetően – a nyugat-európai és a Kárpát-medencei reformáció kezdeteire. A tanulmányok tekintettel vannak az emlékezők saját értelmezői jelene felőli interpretációra: a reformáció eseményeinek utólagos aktualizálására, az egyes külföldi és hazai reformátorok példaként való alkalmazására, mitizálására. Arra, hogy az utókor miképpen viszonyult a reformáció teológiájához, hitvallásaihoz, nyelvi és irodal- mi hagyományához, illetve milyen külföldi kapcsolódási pontjai, mintái voltak a kora újkori emlékezési mechanizmusoknak. A reformáció emlékezetének történetével és annak kora újkori kérdéseivel a magyar- országi kutatás eddig nem foglalkozott rendszerszerűen, de a kiinduló pontként szolgáló korábbi és újabb írásokat – melyek szerzői részben azonosak kötetünk közreműködői- 7 vel – a tanulmányok alaposan hivatkozzák. A releváns külföldi szakirodalom eredmé- nyei szintén beépültek jelen kötet feldolgozásaiba, ezért most csupán röviden utalunk az előzményekre. A nyugat-európai, főképp a német kutatásban a 19. század óta szisz- tematikusan foglalkoznak a Luther-emlékezet történetével. A genfi Kálvin-emlékmű alapkövének 1909-es letétele pedig hatással volt nemcsak a korabeli Kálvin-recepció fel- lendülésére, hanem a Kálvin korábbi emlékezetének történetével való foglalkozásra is, elsősorban francia és angol nyelven. Az utóbbi évtizedekben, s különösen a reformáció félévezredes jubileumára készülve külföldön több tanulmány és néhány monográfia je- lent meg a reformáció kezdeteire való emlékezés történetéről, s a mi konferenciánk szer- vezésével, majd megvalósításával egy időben is foglalkoztak a témával. Legalaposabban a torgaui konferenciasorozat (Reformation als Bewegung und Veränderung in Kirche und Staat), amely három éven keresztül dolgozta fel a reformáció évfordulóinak történetét. 2015-ben az 1617-es, 1630-as, illetve az 1717-es és 1730-as jubileumokat vizsgálták, 2016-ban az 1817., 1830., 1917. és 1930. évi ünnepségeket, konferenciánkkal (szinte napra pontosan) egy időben pedig az utóbbi évtizedek emlékezési mechanizmusait, az egyház, a politika és az állam viszonyát.

  • Music and the Jesuit “Way of Proceeding” in the German Counter-Reformation
    journal of jesuit studies 3 (2016) 377-397 brill.com/jjs Music and the Jesuit “Way of Proceeding” in the German Counter-Reformation Alexander J. Fisher University of British Columbia [email protected] Abstract The present essay considers the Jesuits’ relationship to musical culture along the con- fessional frontier of Germany, where the immediate presence of religious difference led to an explicit marking of space and boundaries, not least through visual and aural media. While Jesuit reservations concerning the appropriate use of music were always present, individual churches and colleges soon developed ambitious musical practices aimed at embellishing the Catholic liturgy and stimulating religious affect. The pres- ent essay traces a gradual shift in Jesuit attitudes toward music between roughly 1580 and 1650, showing steady growth in the Society’s use of musical resources in churches, colleges, hymnbooks, processions, and theatrical productions in the confessionally- contested German orbit. Keywords Germany – Austria – church music – organ – devotion – Marian Congregations – hymns – catechism – theater – confessionalization The origins of the well-worn phrase “jesuita non cantat” (a Jesuit does not sing) remain obscure, but it is clear that recent decades have seen a new upsurge of scholarly interest in Jesuit music.1 It is especially instructive to 1 For example, Thomas D.

  • And His Contacts in the Habsburg World at the Eve of the Thirty Y
    CONSCIENCE & CONNECTIONS. Marcellus Franckheim (1587-1644) and his contacts in the Habsburg World at the eve of the Thirty Years War. ‘my soul is not for sale’ (Marcellus Franckheim to Franz Gansneb Tengnagel, 8 October 1620) Willemijn Tuinstra S1791923 21-08-2019 Thesis MA History Europe 1000-1800 Prof.dr. J.F.J. Duindam Abstract The Dutch glassmaker’s son and rector of the Latin school in Zutphen, Marcellus Franckheim (Zutphen 1587- Dunkirk 1644), converted from Calvinism to Catholicism in 1614 and became secretary to Cardinal Melchior Khlesl at the court of the Habsburg Emperor Matthias. He ended his life as councillor to the Spanish King Philip IV in the admiralty of the Flanders fleet. By analysing Franckheim’s surviving correspondence and publications, this thesis shows that while Franckheim’s life on first sight seems full of unexpected moves and change, there is a remarkable continuity in his faith, his contacts and his opinions. It also shows that the Dutch Gomarist-Arminian controversy during the Twelve Years Truce directly influenced his decision to convert and that a group of engaged Zutphen Catholic citizens connected him to the Counter-Reformation world of the Habsburg courts in Europe. Using Marcellus Franckheim as an exemplary case, this thesis addresses the broader question of how Dutch Catholics in the early seventeenth century, both in the Low Countries and in exile, participated in local and transnational networks to promote and consolidate their faith. It also provides insight in the interconnectedness of the political and religious conflicts in the Low Countries and the Holy Roman Empire, in particular with regard to the ways in which individuals felt involved and tried to influence these events.

  • Political Storytelling and Propaganda: William Prynne and the English Afterlife of Tommaso Campanella
    Political Storytelling and Propaganda: William Prynne and the English Afterlife of Tommaso Campanella Andrew Manns Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of PhD The Warburg Institute, School of Advanced Study, University of London March 2019 1 I declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Signed: Andrew Manns 2 Acknowledgements I would like to extend my gratitude to Tony Grafton, Catherine Charlton and the rest of the staff at The Warburg Institute and Senate House for their continued support and advice. I am also deeply grateful to my advisers, Jill Kraye and Guido Giglioni for guiding me on this journey and for their thoroughgoing and keen-eyed insights and input into the present work. Lastly, I am greatly indebted to my long-suffering wife, Marjolaine, who has given me unbounded encouragement and inspiration every step of the way. 3 Abstract Political Storytelling and Propaganda: William Prynne and the English Afterlife of Tommaso Campanella Although there has been extensive scholarship on the pamphleteering practices and political activities of the dissident moralist and lawyer William Prynne, scant material exists on the narrative mechanism underlying Prynne’s persuasive storytelling. This dissertation argues that Prynne was the source of the literary archetype concerning the ‘Jesuit’ Tommaso Campanella diffused during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The ideas of the Italian Dominican Campanella (1568-1639) had a certain impact on the philosophical, theological and political panorama of early modern England. The study of this impact is an area that is still largely unexplored. Using Prynne’s apocryphal Campanella as an interpretative lens, my dissertation compares and analyses the anti-Catholic myths elaborated by Prynne and proposes that he devised a fictional Campanella in tandem with his exposition of the fictitious plots of Adam Contzen, Cardinal Armand Richelieu, and Robert Parsons.

  • Jesuit Theology, Politics, and Identity: the Generalate of Acquaviva and the Years of Formation Franco Motta
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Institutional Research Information System University of... chapter seventeen Jesuit Theology, Politics, and Identity: The Generalate of Acquaviva and the Years of Formation Franco Motta The Jesuit Archetype: A Long History What is a Jesuit? A priest; a member of a religious order, or rather of a regular congregation; a priest called to mission. Often, a teacher. Today, the list of defini- tions would more or less stop here. There is nothing specifically “Jesuit” about this description, as it could apply to the members of many other Catholic religious orders. It is one of the many consequences of secularization: in the collective perception, the differences that make up the complexity of the church are lost; the identities of the religious orders fade, and, with them, the meaning of schools that at one time were recog- nizable in speech, modes of being, and their presence in the world. Before the mid-twentieth century, things were different. If we step back eighty years, we encounter signs and meanings that are connected to a far more distant past. In January 1932, the Spanish republic disbanded the Society of Jesus within its territories and forfeited its benefits on the grounds that the Jesuits were loyal to a foreign sovereign, the pope. At that time, a Jesuit’s identity was much clearer: an enemy of the state, an agent in service of a great power, an agitator, equipped with great influence over women, aristocrats, and elites; and, above all, a sworn enemy to civil and scientific progress.1 This was more or less the conceptual catalog that was then in use.

  • The Authority of the German Religious Constitution: Public Law, Philosophy, and Democracy (2013) Ian Hunter
    The Authority of the German Religious Constitution: Public Law, Philosophy, and Democracy (2013) Ian Hunter Preliminaries Germany’s current religious constitution is primarily contained in Article 140 of the 1949 Grundgesetz or Basic Law, which in turn states that ‘The provisions of Articles 136, 137, 138, 139, and 141 of the German Constitution of 11 August 1919 shall be an integral part of the Basic Law’.1 Among these articles drawn from the 1919 constitution of the Weimar republic are those guaranteeing familiar rights and liberties for individuals. These include the independence of civil and political rights from religious affiliation, the enjoyment of such rights as religious privacy, access to public office independent of religious creed, and freedom from religious compulsion.2 Other articles, however, specify the corporate rights and liberties of religious confessions or associations. In addition to stipulating that there shall be no state church, these articles protect the right to form religious associations and they guarantee each such association the right to ‘regulate and administer its affairs independently within the limits of the law valid for all’.3 They also specify that those religious associations that have been corporate bodies under public law shall remain so, while new associations may apply for this status, which brings with it the right to levy taxes on the basis of civil taxation lists.4 Somewhat surprisingly from an English, French, or American perspective, the Weimar articles also stipulate that ‘Associations whose purpose is the cultivation of a philosophical ideology [Weltanschauung] shall have the same status as religious bodies’.5 1 Parliamentary Council [of the Federal Republic of Germany], The Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany (Wiesbaden: Foreign Office, 1971), p.

Zélateurs et politiques face à la guerre de Trente ans (1618-1648) Que la guerre de Trente ans, qui secoua le Saint-Empire entre 1618 et 1648, soit une guerre de religion, ne faisait aucun doute pour les contemporains. Non seulement, et les contemporains en étaient tout à fait conscients, elle était l’aboutissement des frictions nouées autour de la paix de religion d’Augsbourg de 1555, mais elle était aussi issue des tensions provoquées par la confessionnalisation – l’introduction, l’imposition par les princes du catholicisme ou du luthéranisme dans leur territoire et leurs tentatives subséquentes de rationaliser leur appareil d’État et de « disciplinariser » leurs sujets - et le grippage des rouages institutionnels du Saint- Empire par la scission confessionnelle1. D’emblée, son enjeu fut donc la mise en place d’un État apte à supporter la différence confessionnelle.

DOI: 6 The King's Confessor: Changing Images NICOLE REINHARDT Voltaire, in his famous account of the reign of Louis XIV (1643-1715), makes an interesting statement referring to the last years of the Sun King's reign: 'C'est une chose très remarquable que le public, qui lui pardonna toutes ses maitresses, ne lui pardonna pas son confesseur [Père Le Tellier]. Il perdit, les trois demieres années de sa vie, clans l'esprit de la plupart de ses sujets, tout ce qu'il avait fait de grand et de memorable.'1 Voltaire's remarkable observation sums up the central argument of this essay, namely, that the king and his confessor cannot be regarded separately, but must be seen as reflecting each other's images.

  • Missiones Castrenses”: Jesuits and Soldiers Between Pastoral Care and Violence
    journal of jesuit studies 4 (2017) 545-558 brill.com/jjs Introduction ∵ “Missiones Castrenses”: Jesuits and Soldiers between Pastoral Care and Violence Vincenzo Lavenia Università di Macerata, Italy [email protected] The essays that make up this issue of the Journal explore the relations between the Society of Jesus and military life, highlighting the connections between the discipline of war, violence, and religious practice in different contexts from the sixteenth to twentieth centuries. There are two, interwoven, principal themes: on one side, the pamphlets written for officers and soldiers (Lavenia offers a fresco of this literature over a long period; Tricoire focuses on the Polish case); and on the other, the experience of the Jesuits within the armies, through the chaplains’ missions, hospital assistance, the setting up of confraternities and associations (Boltanski analyses the France of the wars of religion; Civale the case of the papal troops sent to support the Catholics against the Huguenots in 1569). The contributors have concentrated in the main on the early modern pe- riod, but Lavenia and Paiano take the investigation through to the First World War, during which—as the Italian case shows—Jesuits served as chaplains and did their best to win over the army to the Catholic cause, in a climate of brutal nationalism and militarism. Therefore the remit of the authors has not been to revisit the theology and casuistry of war as elaborated by such writ- ers as Francisco Suárez (1548–1617), Gabriel Vázquez (1549–1604), Giovanni Botero (1544–1617), Juan Azor (1535–1603), Luis de Molina (1535–1600), Juan de Mariana (1536–1624), Adam Contzen (1571–1635), Carlo Scribani (1561–1629), © Lavenia, 2017 | doi 10.1163/22141332-00404001 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution- Noncommercial 4.0 Unported (CC-BY-NC 4.0) License.

  • The Jesuits and Politics in Time of War : a Self-Appraisal
    IN THE SPIRITUALITY OF JESUITS The Jesuits and Politics in Time of War A Self-Appraisal Robert Bireley, S J. BX3701 .S88x of Jesuits Studies in the spirituality Issue: v.34:no.5(2002:Nov.) Arrival Date: 12/06/2002 O'Neill Periodicals 34/5 • NOVEMBER 2002 THE SEMINAR ON JESUIT SPIRITUALITY The Seminar is composed of a number of Jesuits appointed from their provinces in the United States. It concerns itself with topics pertaining to the spiritual doctrine and practice of Jesuits, especially United States Jesuits, and communicates the results to the members of the provinces through its publication, STUDIES IN THE SPIRITUALITY OF JESUITS. This is done in the spirit of Vatican II's recommendation that religious institutes recapture the original inspiration of their founders and adapt it to the circumstances of modern times. The Seminar welcomes reactions or comments in regard to the material that it publishes. The Seminar focuses its direct attention on the life and work of the Jesuits of the United States. The issues treated may be common also to Jesuits of other regions, to other priests, religious, and laity, to both men and women. Hence, the journal, while meant especially for American Jesuits, is not exclusively for them. Others who may find it helpful are cordially welcome to make use of it. CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE SEMINAR Robert L. Bireley, S.J., teaches history at Loyola University, Chicago, IL (2001). Richard A. Blake, S.J., is chairman of the Seminar and editor of STUDIES; he teaches film studies at Boston College, Chestnut Hill, MA (2002).
