The first 18 volumes formed the ''Opere Storiche'' of which this is Volume X, XI , XII , XIII and XIV. (see De Backer-Sommervogel I , 982). This important work on the history of the Jesuit order was first published between 1650 and 1673 in six volumes. The history begins with a life of St. Ignatius and the founding of the order and continues with three substantial volumes devoted to the Jesuit missions in Asia and the Far East, the first on Asia in general, and the second and third on Japan and China in particular. The volume on the history of the Jesuits in Japan was first published in 1660 as volume 3 of the 6. Daniello Bartoli (1608-1685) was historian of the Jesuits. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1623 . He remained in Italy where he gained distinction as a preacher and a teacher of rhetoric. The high quality of his writing became apparent to his superiors and he was called to Rome in 1650 where he was made historian of the order and published a variety of works on history, literature and science. From 1671-73 he was rector of the Collegio Romano (now the Gregoriana), the principal Jesuit university. His description of the Jesuit world was highly regarded at the time and later Italian writers such as Leopardi thought very highly of Bartoli's prose. price: €500.00 |
