Download or read book The Library of a Jesuit Community at Holbeck Nottinghamshire 1679 written by Hendrik Dijkgraaf and published by Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (ACMRS). This book was released on 2003 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Holbeck catalogue is apparently the only recorded 17th-century Jesuit missionary library. There are of course several catalogues of Jesuit institutional libraries in France, Germany and elsewhere, but these are libraries solely for the clergy, and in some cases these libraries lost their Jesuit identity through being swamped by large gifts from outside sources. The Holbeck library, on the other hand, was just large enough to be a working tool, and compact enough to have a recognizable identity. Dr Dijkgraaf has supplied a comprehensive account of the library and its context and thanks to his elaborate analysis of the contents, we are able to rationalize and justify the presence of each and every book on the shelves."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book The Library written by Andrew Pettegree and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perfect for book lovers, this is a fascinating exploration of the history of libraries and the people who built them, from the ancient world to the digital age. Famed across the known world, jealously guarded by private collectors, built up over centuries, destroyed in a single day, ornamented with gold leaf and frescoes, or filled with bean bags and children’s drawings—the history of the library is rich, varied, and stuffed full of incident. In The Library, historians Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen introduce us to the antiquarians and philanthropists who shaped the world’s great collections, trace the rise and fall of literary tastes, and reveal the high crimes and misdemeanors committed in pursuit of rare manuscripts. In doing so, they reveal that while collections themselves are fragile, often falling into ruin within a few decades, the idea of the library has been remarkably resilient as each generation makes—and remakes—the institution anew. Beautifully written and deeply researched, The Library is essential reading for booklovers, collectors, and anyone who has ever gotten blissfully lost in the stacks.

Part three deals with the impact of national censorship laws on book circulation to the Continent.
Download or read book Jesuit Intellectual and Physical Exchange between England and Mainland Europe c 1580 1789 written by James E. Kelly and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesuit Intellectual and Physical Exchange between England and Mainland Europe, c. 1580–1789: ‘The World is our House’? offers new perspectives on the English Mission of the Society of Jesus. It brings together an interdisciplinary and international group of scholars to explore the Mission’s role and wider impact within the Society, as well as early modern European Catholicism. Building on recent movements within the field to decentralise the Catholic Reformation, the volume seeks to change perceptions of the English Mission as peripheral, bringing the archipelagic experience of Jesuits working in the British Isles in line with work on their European confreres and the broader global network of the Society of Jesus.
Download or read book Jesuit Foundations and Medici Power 1532 1621 written by Kathleen Comerford and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesuit Foundations and Medici Power, 1532–1621 focuses on the cooperation between two new foundations, the last Medici state and the Society of Jesus, spanning nearly a century, concentrating on the Jesuit foundations in Florence, Siena, and Montepulciano. As the Medici built and centralized their power in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, they sought to control both the civic and religious behavior of their citizens. They found partners in the Jesuits, whose educational program helped establish social order and maintain religious orthodoxy. Via a detailed investigation of both minor and major Italian Jesuit colleges, and of multiple Medici rulers, Kathleen M. Comerford provides insight into church/state cooperation in an age in which both institutions underwent significant changes.

Download or read book Print and Power in Early Modern Europe 1500 1800 written by Nina Lamal and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Print, in the early modern period, could make or break power. This volume addresses one of the most urgent and topical questions in early modern history: how did European authorities use a new medium with such tremendous potential? The eighteen contributors develop new perspectives on the relationship between the rise of print and the changing relationships between subjects and rulers by analysing print’s role in early modern bureaucracy, the techniques of printed propaganda, genres, and strategies of state communication. While print is often still thought of as an emancipating and disruptive force of change in early modern societies, the resulting picture shows how instrumental print was in strengthening existing power structures.

Download or read book The Jesuits of the Low Countries written by Rob Faesen and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 3 until 5 December 2009 an international colloquium was organised at the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies (KU Leuven) which intended to highlight and discuss the impact of the Society of Jesus on the development of cultural, scientific and political life in the Low Countries. The colloquium not only aimed to bring together specialists in the various fields of Jesuitica research, but also organised a meeting between the people committed to scientific research, and those who disclose archives and other information sources enabling new research. Some of the finest scholars in Jesuit studies presented the results of their research in a number of lectures. The current volume contains a selection of these lectures, dealing with a broad spectrum of subjects, from Jesuit spirituality to the Jesuit contribution to the science of law, political thought and the visual arts, to education, mathematics and architecture. Attention is paid to the role of the Jesuits in the development of the printing press, their relation with Louvain's Faculty of Theology and their position in the Jansenist controversies, as well as to their expansion abroad, in the Missio Hollandica, in South Wales and in the mission to China. Furthermore, the book includes a number of presentations from the workshops, specifically concerning archives and databases related to the history of the Jesuits in the Low Countries.
