A partir de fontes jesuítas publicadas e não publicadas - tratados, manuais, relatórios e cartas -, este artigo explora o apostolado jesuíta referente aos escravos muçulmanos em Nápoles e em diferentes cidades da Espanha durante o século XVII. Um ponto de vista jesuíta, encoberto pela retórica missionária e indisponível de outra forma, é encontrado nestas fontes, as quais destacam os métodos e estratégias missionárias jesuí- ticas além de esclare…
Lacrime e sangue. Martirio e missione nella Compagnia di Gesù in età moderna
Despite its relevance for the identity of the Society of Jesus, Jesuit martyrdom has not been studied yet in a systematic fashion. This article develops some revealing elements of Jesuit martyrdom: the first representations of Jesuit martyrs during the “revival of Christian martyrdom” in the early sixteenth century; the defense of Jesuit martyrs at the beginning of the seventeenth century, during the pontificate of Urban VIII, when the regulation…
Europa e America allo specchio

The Miracle of Music
In a conversation with Emanuele Colombo, Ennio Morricone—one of the great contemporary composers—discusses the maestro’s relation to the Society of Jesus. One of the highlights of this interview is a thin thread that unites the masterful soundtrack Morricone composed for the 1986 movie The Mission (on the Jesuit reducciones in Paraguay) with a Mass he dedicated to the first Jesuit pope, Francis, on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the Soc…
The Jesuit Suppression in Global Context
In 1773, Pope Clement XIV suppressed the Society of Jesus, a dramatic, puzzling act that had a profound impact. This volume traces the causes of the attack on the Jesuits, the national expulsions that preceded universal suppression, and the consequences of these extraordinary developments. The Suppression occurred at a unique historical juncture, at the high-water mark of the Enlightenment and on the cusp of global imperial crises and the Age of …

The article recounts the conversion story of Mohammed el-Attaz, later known as Baldassarre Loyola (1631-1667). Son of the king of Fez (Morocco) of the Saʿadian dynasty, Mohammed was captured on his …
