Buying and Selling
Buying and Selling explores the many facets of the business of books across and beyond Europe, adopting the viewpoints of printers, publishers, booksellers, and readers. Essays by twenty-five scholars from a range of disciplines seek to reconstruct the dynamics of the trade through a variety of sources. Through the combined investigation of printed output, documentary evidence, provenance research, and epistolary networks, this volume trails the evolving relationship between readers and the book trade. In the resulting picture of failure and success, balanced precariously between debt-economies, sale strategies and uncertain profit, customers stand out as the real winners.
Communities of the Soul
Religion is fundamental to contemporary Puerto Rican society. From the cosmology of the Indigenous Taíno, to the wide range of Judeo-Christian churches and sects, to the practitioners of spiritism, Afro-Caribbean religions, and witchcraft, religious practice in its many forms permeates the lives of most Puerto Ricans. Communities of the Soul illuminates the landscape and history of religion in Puerto Rico from the beliefs and practices of the Taíno to the religious diversity of the present day. Throughout its history, religion in Puerto Rico has braided institutional forms and popular practices, yet has always been a community-based process – made by the people. When the island was under...
The Jesuits
The most comprehensive and up-to-date exploration of one of the most important religious orders in the modern world Since its founding by Ignatius of Loyola in 1540, the Society of Jesus—more commonly known as the Jesuits—has played a critical role in the events of modern history. From the Counter-Reformation to the ascent of Francis I as the first Jesuit pope, The Jesuits presents an intimate look at one of the most important religious orders not only in the Catholic Church, but also the world. Markus Friedrich describes an organization that has deftly walked a tightrope between sacred and secular involvement and experienced difficulties during changing times, all while shaping cultural...
The Jesuit Suppression in Global Context
This volume analyses the causes and consequences of the Jesuit Suppression, one of the most dramatic events in eighteenth-century history.
José Celestino Mutis and Newtonianism in New Granada, 1762–1808
This book presents the process of circulation and adoption of Newtonianism in the Viceroyalty of New Granada (modern-day Colombia) in the eighteenth century by examining José Celestino Mutis’s lectures at the Colegio del Rosario between the 1760s and 1770s. Mostly famous for his botanical activities as director of the botanical expedition, Mutis lectured the first course of mathematics ever created in New Granada on his arrival in Bogota in 1762, in which he included several lectures on physics that encompassed multiple aspects of his interpretation of Newton’s experimental physics.
Desterrats per ordre de Carles III
L’any 1767, els jesuïtes que vivien a l’antic regne de València (190 en total) van patir les conseqüències del fet històric que més va commoure l’Europa catòlica del set-cents: l’expulsió de la Companyia de Jesús dels dominis de Carles III. A partir de les fonts documentals, es reconstrueixen els esdeveniments des de l’assetjament inicial a aquests religiosos valencians, amb la consegüent expulsió, l’exili involuntari a Còrsega i a Itàlia i, finalment, el retorn a terres valencianes quaranta-nou anys després. Una panoràmica completa, doncs, del procés fins a la restauració de l’orde jesuític i el restabliment d’aquest a València, el 1816.
Sarmiento de fe, ciencia y arte
En 1767 el rey Carlos III ordenó la expulsión de los jesuítas de los territorios de la Monarquía Hispánica. Las acciones para dar cumplimineto al mandato se vieron empañadas en el virreinato de la Nueva España por una serie de levantamientos sociales conocidos como los Tumultos de 1767, vividos con especial violencia en San Luis Potosí. La llegada del visitador general, José de Galvez y Gallardo, pusieron fin a la sedición y, a la par de una serie de detenciones, destierros y castigos igualmente violentos, se concretó la extracción de los jesuitas en esta jurisdicción. Armando Hernández Soubervielle aprovecha la vastedad de información de este documento para indagar en la circulación de saberes, la actualidad del mundo jesuita. El investigador nos adentra en el complejo universo de las relaciones entre el colegio jesuita y su biblioteca en el territorio potosino.
