Abstract

Aucun ouvrage de cette ampleur n’avait été jusqu’alors consacré à l’histoire de la Compagnie de Jésus. Fruit d’un long travail collectif, ce volume est constitué tout à la fois d’une « Histoire », retraçant le destin de l’institution au cours de ses presque cinq siècles d’existence (de 1540 à aujourd’hui), et d’un « Dictionnaire », éclairant des thématiques précises, toutes essentielles – collèges, esclavage, exil, islam, papauté, théâtre, tyrannicide… Il présente dans leur singularité et le dynamisme de leur individualité chacun des personnages marquants de la Compagnie de Jésus. Et celle-ci en a compté beaucoup, de ses pères fondateurs à ses figures spirituelles, intellectuelles, savantes, philosophiques, artistiques – Christoph Clavius, Michel de Certeau, Teilhard de Chardin, Pedro Arrupe… Autant d’inventeurs et d’inspirateurs déployés sur tous les terrains de la pensée et de l’action. Une telle entreprise historiographique s’imposait d’autant plus que la Compagnie de Jésus a vu, pour la première fois de son histoire, l’un des siens accéder au trône de saint Pierre, le pape François. Elle aide à mieux comprendre pourquoi cet Ordre aussi redouté qu’admiré, proscrit au XVIIIe siècle sur décision du Vatican puis restauré par la même autorité pontificale, continue de nous fasciner aujourd’hui, après avoir fait l’objet depuis sa fondation de tant de fantasmes et de préjugés. Quel est le ressort de son ambition, le secret de son influence et de son intelligence du monde ? Ces interrogations jalonnent l’itinéraire d’une institution unique, tout aussi puissante et féconde qu’invariablement exposée à tous les mythes.

Abstract

Nel 2021 Montepulciano ha onorato il suo illustre concittadino, Roberto Bellarmino, con un simposio a livello internazionale di cui si è pubblicato il risultato. Una miscellanea di saggi in cui storia di Bellarmino è affiancata dall'analisi delle sue curiose lettere e da altri numerosi testi conservati nell'Archivio diocesano ed è inoltre contestualizzata attraverso un'accurata revisione bibliografica, evidenziando la sua attività di catecheta e predicatore e la sua canonizzazione, nella cornice della cultura gesuita del Cinque-Seicento.

Abstract

"In 1540, in the wake of the tumult brought on by the Protestant Reformation, Saint Ignatius of Loyola founded The Society of Jesus aka The Jesuits. The Society's goal was to revitalize the faith of Catholics and to evangelize to non-Catholics through works of charity, education, and missionary work. By the end of the century, Jesuit missionaries were sent all over the world, including to South America. In addition to performing missionary and humanitarian work, Jesuits also served as cartographers and explorers under the auspices of the Spanish, Portuguese, and French Crowns as they went into remote areas to find and evangelize to native populations. In Encounters in the New World, Mirela Altic analyses over 150 of these maps, most of which have never previously been published. She traces the Jesuit contribution to mapping and mapmaking from their arrival in the New World into the post-suppression period and places the Jesuit contribution to cartography in the context of their worldwide undertakings in the fields of science and art. Altic reveals that the Jesuit mapping of the New World was not just a physical survey of unknown space, but was in fact the most important link that brought two cultures together and successfully enabled an exchange of ideas and cultural concepts between the Old World and the New"--

Abstract

Jesuits have been in Africa since they were founded, yet their history there remains poorly documented. Although scholars have started to focus on specific regions like Congo, Ethiopia and Zimbabwe, a comprehensive picture of the entire Jesuit experience on the continent is still lacking. In a condensed yet accessible way, Jesuits in Africa fills that lacuna. Narrating the story century by century from the time of St. Ignatius of Loyola (c.1491-1556), founder of the Jesuits, to that of Pedro Arrupe (1907-91, in office 1965-83), 28th general superior of the Society, the book makes Jesuit history in Africa available to a general readership while offering scholars a broad view in which specialized topics can be conceived and deepened.
