Abstract

In 1583 five Jesuit brothers set out with the intention of founding a new church and mission in India. Their dream was almost immediately, and brutally, terminated by local opposition. When their massacre was announced in Rome it was treated as martyrdom. Francesco Benci, professor of rhetoric at the Collegium Romanum, immediately set about celebrating their deaths in a new type of epic, distinct from, yet dependent upon, the classical tradition: 'Quinque martyres e Societate Iesu in India'. This is the first critical edition and translation of this important text. The commentary highlights both the classical sources and the historical and religious context of the mission. The introduction outlines Benci's career and stresses his role as the founder of this vibrant new genre

Abstract

The latest publication from IHSI 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.
