The Cambridge Critical Guide to Latin Literature
The Cambridge Critical Guide to Latin Literature offers a critical overview of work on Latin literature. Where are we? How did we get here? Where to next? Fifteen commissioned chapters, along with an extensive introduction and Mary Beard's postscript, approach these questions from a range of angles. They aim not to codify the field, but to give snapshots of the discipline from different perspectives, and to offer provocations for future developme…

Akihiko Watanabe, Japan on the Jesuit Stage
Collani rightly argues (157) that the two texts in question, together with Bouvet's interpretation of the Yiqing, constituted the last corpus of Jesuit Chinese writings that present a Christian-Chinese synthesis and a case for evangelization.Bouvet and his confrres, however, was fighting an uphill battle against other missionaries who considered Christianity and Chinese culture as incompatible and mutually exclusive.Ludovico Appiani, a missionary…
Bernardino Stefonio, S.J., Flavia Tragoedia
This is a modern edition with an Italian translation of the Flavia Tragoedia (1600; printed Rome, 1621), the second martyr tragedy by sixteenth-century Roman Jesuit, Bernardino Stefonio (1560–1620), after his earlier hit Crispus (1597). Saulini nicely sets the scene in her informative introduction: Clement viii is on the throne of St. Peter and the influence of Trent remains strong; it is a jubilee year and all eyes are on Rome; the Oratorians an…
Latin Scientific Poetry under the Shadow of the Jesuit Suppression
During their "long Suppression" (ca. 1755-1814) Jesuits recorded their emotional responses to the unfolding crisis and its aftermath: anxiety, bewilderment, indignation and dejection as priests and seminarians were expelled from Portugal, France, Spain and their overseas missions; shattering psychic shock as the papal brief "Dominus ac Redemptor" brought the curtain down on the Old Society in 1773; and, ultimately, dogged hope for the resurrectio…

The Virus in the Language: Alonso de Cartagena's Deconstruction of the 'Limpieza de Sangre' in Defensorium unitatis christianae (1450)" by Maria Laura Giordano (226-51), and "Apologetic Glosses-Venues for Encounters: Annotations on Abraham in the Latin Translations of the Qurʾān" by Katarzyna K. .These three chapters focus on individual texts but all point to the role of converts in Jewish-Christian-Muslim polemical cultural transfers in an Iberi…
Changing Hearts
This volume of essays contributes to our understanding of the ways in which the Jesuits employed emotions to “change hearts”—that is, convert or reform—both in Europe and in the overseas missions. The early modern Society of Jesus excited and channeled emotion through sacred oratory, Latin poetry, plays, operas, art, and architecture; it inflamed young men with holy desire to die for their faith in foreign lands; its missionaries initiated dialog…
Francesco Benci’s Quinque Martyres. Introduction, Translation, and Commentary by Paul Gwynne, written by Francesco Benci
This is the first volume in a new and timely bilingual neo-Latin/English text series, "Jesuit Neo-Latin Library," published by Brill.Jesuit Latin represents a vast inland sea within the mare magnum of early modern Latinity, well worth exploration by classicists and modern linguists as well as by historians of the Society of Jesus.Francesco Benci's Five martyrs (in six books) is the first of a new kind of exemplary neo-Latin epic, which not only s…
Group Therapy for Venetian Adolescents? Giannantonio Bernardi’s “Prudence, a didactic prolusion” (Venice, 1709) and Jesuit Moral Counselling in Verse
While Jesuits composed more Latin didactic poetry than any other order or profession in the early modern period, they—perhaps surprisingly—rarely chose moral, political, or spiritual subjects for versification in this genre. One of the few exceptions to the rule is Prudentia, prolusio didascalica (Prudence, a didactic prolusion) by the Paduan-born Jesuit Giannantonio Bernardi (1670–1743), first published in Venice in 1709. Bernardi seems to have …
Suppressed Emotions
This article is a pilot for a larger project on the emotions of the suppression of the Society of Jesus, viewed through the prism of Latin writings by Jesuits of the period. It proposes a case study of Portuguese (ex-)Jesuit, Emanuel de Azevedo, who lived and suffered internal exile in Italy (from Rome to the Veneto) in the second half of the eighteenth century. Azevedo composed a large quantity of Latin verse during these unhappy years, from a f…
The Vineyard of Verse
This review of scholarship on Jesuit humanistic literature and theater is Latin-oriented because the Society’s sixteenth-century code of studies, the Ratio Studiorum , in force for nearly two centuries, enjoined the study and imitation in Latin of the best classical authors. Notwithstanding this well-known fact, co-ordinated modern scholarship on the Latin poetry, poetics, and drama of the Old Society is patchy. We begin with questions of sources…

Latin Poet‐Doctors of the Eighteenth Century
The Cambridge Companion to Lucretius
Lucretius' didactic poem De rerum natura ('On the Nature of Things') is an impassioned and visionary presentation of the materialist philosophy of Epicurus, and one of the most powerful poetic texts of antiquity. After its rediscovery in 1417 it became a controversial and seminal work in successive phases of literary history, the history of science, and the Enlightenment. In this 2007 Cambridge Companion experts in the history of literature, phil…
Religion and enlightenment in the neo-Latin reception of Lucretius
The Renaissance bishop and poet Marco Girolamo Vida may have aimed a gentle rebuke at Lucretian imitators when he warned the aspiring Latin poet to avoid the example of those who ‘pour out and pile up all things in their verses, without method, without art, especially if it is unknown, hidden, and not suitable for the ears of the crowd, such as the secret motions of the radiant heavens, or the inaccessible nature of the gods, or the uncertain ori…

Poetry or Pathology? Jesuit Hypochondria in Early Modern Naples
In their didactic poems on fishing and chocolate, both published in 1689, two Neapolitan Jesuits digressed to record and lament a devastating 'plague' of 'hypochondria'. The poetic plagues of Niccolò Giannettasio and Tommaso Strozzi have literary precedents in Lucretius, Vergil, and Fracastoro, but it will be argued that they also have a real, contemporary significance. Hypochondria was considered to be a serious (and epidemic) illness in the sev…
