Early Modern Litterae Indipetae for the East Indies
Review of Elisa Frei, Early Modern Litterae Indipetae for the East Indies, Leiden: Brill, 2023, by Ines G. Županov
Black’ and ‘golden’ Goa
Unlike in other contexts and regions in India, servants/slaves in Goan homes (in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries) received inordinate attention from European non-Portuguese travellers. They provided disturbing descriptions of Goan households and the violence inflicted on the subalterns. Slave ownership in the Portuguese empire was both an economic imperative and a problem for moral theology in Europe and overseas. Although slavery was not a…

João Vicente Melo, Jesuit and English Experiences at the Mughal Court, c. 1580–1615
The book captures a relatively brief but hugely important period, between 1580s and 1615, in which the Portuguese padroado missionaries (Jesuits) and the servants of the English East India Company encountered each other at the Mughal court, during the late Akbar's and the early Jahangir's reign.The two European "missions," one part of a religious and the other of a mercantile institution, were both rivals and, at times, collaborators facing an in…
Guido van Meersbergen, Ethnography and Encounter
Two Missionary Accounts of Southeast Asia in the Late Seventeenth Century
Introduction
Introduction
New encounters in America, Africa, and Asia facilitated the “discovery” of non-Biblical religious traditions that were distinct from the ancient paganism known to Christian humanists and antiquarians from classical sources and patristic literature. Although Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism did not exist as concepts in the early modern period, the three articles in this special issue illustrate the learning process by which a number of influen…
Antiquissima Christianità
The Jesuit mission among the “ancient Christians” on the Malabar coast in today’s Kerala was one of the watershed moments—as I argued a decade ago—in their global expansion in Asia in the sixteenth century, and a prelude to the method of accommodation as it had been theorized and practiced in Asia. In this article I want to emphasize the invocation of comparisons with and the use of Mediterranean antiquity in crafting the identities, memory, and …
Trade and Finance in Global Missions (16th-18th Centuries)
Trade and Finance in Global Missions (16th-18th Centuries) is a collection of twelve articles focusing on missionary economic practices, often perceived as an important tool in their spiritual and missionary endeavours, but also raising controversies in Europe and in the overseas missions. Missionaries, just like merchants and other investors, sought the most profitable ventures and tapped into transcontinental flow of capital during the first gl…
The Oxford Handbook of the Jesuits
The chapters in the Oxford Handbook of the Jesuits deal with close to five hundred years of history of the Society of Jesus, a transnational, polyglot Catholic religious order of men, which rose vertiginously to prominence from the mid-sixteenth century until its suppression in 1773. Following this unprecedented event in Church history was its equally unprecedented Restoration in 1814. What held this corporate Jesuit body together through a serie…
The Jesuits and the Enlightenment
How we think of the relationship between the Jesuits and the Enlightenment largely depends on how we conceptualize the latter. This chapter addresses it as a series of debates conducted in the context of a cosmopolitan Republic of Letters, and a number of specific cultural practices that made that very Republic possible. The Jesuits were, therefore, participants in, rather than enemies of, the Enlightenment. Because they combined theological cons…

Rival Mission, Rival Science? Jesuits and Pietists in Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century South India
Two European missionary teams, one Catholic and the other Protestant, encountered each other in the Tamil country in the first decade of the eighteenth century. They acted as if and thought that their goals were irreconcilable, even if the Protestants in Tranquebar admitted that the Catholic Jesuit proselytism in the region had been efficient as 'preparatio evangelicae' for the Protestant mission. Jesuits and Pietists were not only rivals; they a…
The Rites Controversies in the Early Modern World
Jesuit Missionaries and Missions in the Iberian Colonial World
This chapter aims to analyze the Jesuit missionaries and their missions in colonial America (sixteenth through eighteenth centuries) based on the categories of globalness (the global) and mundanity (the local) through three historical frameworks: first, the missionary expansion of the Society of Jesus from the viceroyalty of Peru and its ties to Rome and the Iberian monarchy in the sixteenth century; second, presenting the defensive war project i…
Jesuit Missions between the Papacy and the Iberian Crowns
This chapter reconstructs the political constraints on the Jesuits who were circulating across Africa, America, and Asia from the mid-sixteenth through the twentieth century. The first missionaries acted under the royal patronages that the papacy had granted the crowns of Portugal and Spain over their oceanic empires. This legal and institutional framework, which had a deep influence on the Jesuit missions, was increasingly challenged by the papa…
Jesuits in the Twenty-First Century
This chapter maps the road traveled by the Jesuits from the time they chose Pedro Arrupe as their Twenty-Eighth Superior General in 1965 till the election of their confrere Jorge Maria Bergoglio (Pope Francis) in March 2013, followed by the one of Arturo Sosa as the Thirty-First Superior General of the order in October 2016. During that period, the Jesuits significantly shifted priorities, highlighting integration between faith and justice and a …
Forgery and the Specter of Philology
Forging the Past: Invented Histories in Counter-Reformation Spain chronicles and unravels historiographical strands made of the complicated lives and afterlives of a set of manuscripts and printed books in defense of the Spanish church and its saints and martyrs against the Roman post-Tridentine reform of Christian sacred history. Olds studies one particular Jesuit historian, Jerónimo Román de la Higuera (1538-1611) and his notorious "falsos cron…
Le « Língua » cosmopolite. Le monde social des interprètes hindous de Goa au xviie siècle
Ce texte vise à discuter des pratiques cosmopolites dans l’Asie du Sud de la première modernité en mettant l’accent sur un groupe de brahmanes qui gagnaient leur vie comme interprètes à Goa, la ville-capitale de l’Estado da Índia. Les personnes choisies par les vice-rois et gouverneurs portugais successifs pour travailler comme chefs-interprètes étaient invariablement Shenvi, un sous-groupe de brahmanes Saraswat de la région de Konkan qui étaient…

Cosmopolitismes en Asie du Sud
Le cosmopolitisme est-il un enfant de la modernité occidentale ou peut-on le trouver en d’autres temps et d’autres lieux ? Cet ouvrage entend apporter une réponse à cette question aujourd’hui vivement débattue en retraçant ses contours en tant que pratique et Weltanschauung dans une région du monde - l’Asie du Sud - pôle majeur de l’espace de circulation de l’Asie musulmane et nœud des flux humains, matériels et immatériels reliant l’Occident à l…
Missions d'évangélisation et circulation des savoirs
Quels furent les savoirs utilisés, diffusés et produits par les missionnaires catholiques, à partir du milieu du xvie siècle, aussi bien en Europe, qu'en Amérique, en Asie et en Afrique ? Dans quelle mesure l'entreprise d'évangélisation des âmes, jugées par les missionnaires comme païennes, hérétiques ou simplement indifférentes, a-t-elle participé à l'aventure moderne de la circulation des savoirs ? Ces questions intéressent aussi bien l'histoir…
One Civility, But Multiple Religions
The encounter between the Jesuit missionaries and the St. Thomas Christians or Syrian Christians in Kerala in the second part of the sixteenth century was for both sides a significant opening to different cultural beliefs and routines. An important and understudied outcome of this encounter, documented here on the Jesuit side, was the possibility of accepting religious plurality, at least within Christianity. The answers to the questions of how t…

Ser brâmane na Goa da época moderna
O objetivo deste estudo é analisar as estratégias de sobrevivência desenvolvidas pelos brâmanes de Goa durante a dominação imperial portuguesa entre os séculos XVII e XVIII. No caso de Goa, apesar de viverem sob um poder cristão intolerante, alguns brâmanes procuraram recuperar a sua velha identidade. A maioria, porém, decidiu converter-se ao Cristianismo, transformando-se na comunidade de brâmanes católicos. Todavia, mesmo depois de cristianizad…
Quest for Permanence in the Tropics
The history of agricultural, botanical, pharmacological, and medical exchanges is one of the most fascinating chapters in early modern natural history. Until recently, however, historiography has been dominated by the British experience from the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries, with Kew Gardens at the center of the “green imperialism.” In this article we address the hard-won knowledge acquired by those who participated in early moder…
Le Repli du Religieux
Le 7 mai 1610, un missionnaire jésuite révolté, Gonçalo Fernandes, écrivit de lamission de Madurai au coeur du pays tamoul à Nicolau Pimenta, Père visiteur de laprovince indienne, pour dénoncer son jeune collatéral, Roberto Nobili, accusé d'avoirdangereusement franchi le seuil du ' paganisme ' hindou :Sa manière [était] de laisser croire qu'il y a entre nous une certaine ou grandedifférence de religion.

Aristocratic Analogies and Demotic Descriptions in the Seventeenth-Century Madurai Mission
Two JESUIT MISSIONARIES confronted each other in 1610 through letters and treatises, following what appeared to have been an intense, though brief, cohabitation in a distant mission at the heart of Tamil country. Roberto Nobili, a Roman aristocrat, schooled in the Collegio romano and a relative of the Cardinal Bellarmino, in his early thirties with about five years of experience in the Indian apostolic field, came under fire from an older colleag…

The pulpit trap
Passage to India
Historians today seem to agree that passions for spices and for acquisition of objects and territories from the late fifteenth century fuelled the “mercantile revolution” on a global scale. This article will argue that spirituality and commercial enterprise worked together to produce material objects, some of exceptional artistry. These artifacts, books, sculptures, paintings, and the attractive narratives written about or around them sparked spi…
Conversion Historiography in South Asia
Conversion as a historical process is discussed in South Asian post-independence historiography mostly following the demands of the political present. In the present article, I first try to trace a fragmentary and in-complete history of what I will call conversion historiography in and about South Asia, referring mostly to conversion to Christianity from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. Then, I discuss a particular case of religious and cul…

Language and Culture of the Jesuit “Early Modernity” in India during the Sixteenth Century
What I call the Jesuit “early modernity” is more or less an adapted translation of a concept recently used in France by historians of science who work on Jesuit materials. They call it in French “ la première moderne ” or “the first modernity” in order to talk about the precocious scientific interests generated within the Jesuit networks of knowledge. The “early” modernity should be taken here as an extension of the French concept in order to enc…
Prosélytisme et pluralisme religieux
Cet article oppose deux modèles de conversion, à partir de deux expériences missionnaires en Inde du sud aux XVI et XVIIe siècles. L'évangélisation collective des Parava par St François Xavier illustre le modèle communautaire, dans lequel l'ensemble de la communauté se convertit et redéfinit autour des rites chrétiens sa propre identité en tant que caste d'Inde du sud. Le soutien direct ou indirect des Portugais représenta pour les pêcheurs Parav…

Disputed Mission
This text aims to take a fresh look at the social and cultural laboratories that were Jesuit missions in pre-colonial South India. Without Portuguese military support, which was confined to Goa and other trade enclaves, the missionaries in the heart of Tamil country found themselves both trapped under the jurisdiction of the local kings, and at the same time free from the increasingly impoverished and ossified Portuguese ecclesiastical authority …

Missionary Tropics
A provocative contribution to the history of early modern Euro-Asian interactions that provides new perspectives on the encounter between and Hinduism in India. By focusing on the Jesuit missionary's discovery of Indian pagan Hinduism, Zupanov traces the stages of the Jesuit's disconcerting journey into religious relativism or accommodation. At every point of this Euro-Asian encounter, the emerging Catholic communities attempted to twist and turn…
“A História do Futuro”
Através de uma leitura densa das fontes hagiográficas jesuítas que celebraram a vida de um jesuíta napolitano, Marcelo Mastrilli (1603-1637), procuro mostrar que as visões e narrativas proféticas foram importantes lugares de comunicação social, memória colectiva e mobilização política. O reposicionamento profético foi uma linguagem específica da tecnologia do eu, a partir da qual o sujeito fabricava a sua própria identidade, dentro e contra os li…

Divins remèdes
L’abondance des sources qu’offre l’Asie du Sud - à la fois textuelles, historiques et ethnographiques - au croisement et à l’interaction du médical et du religieux, rend difficile l’analyse que ce volume se propose d’accomplir. En fait, la porosité des frontières entre les domaines nous oblige à questionner les outils mêmes de notre enquête. Si l’objectif est de focaliser l’attention sur les recoupements entre soins et cultes, remèdes et rituels,…
Cultural mobility
In the latter half of the twentieth century many in the social sciences and humanities gleefully proclaimed the demise of a set of traditional assumptions about cultural identity. Notions of wholeness, teleological development, evolutionary progress, and ethnic authenticity were said to have been dismantled forever. A few lamented their passing, but most scholars energetically grappled with brave new theories of hybridity, network theory, and the…
Cultural Mobility
Cultural Mobility is a blueprint and a model for understanding the patterns of meaning that human societies create. Drawn from a wide range of disciplines, the essays collected here under the distinguished editorial guidance of Stephen Greenblatt share the conviction that cultures, even traditional cultures, are rarely stable or fixed. Radical mobility is not a phenomenon of the twenty-first century alone, but is a key constituent element of huma…

Introduction
Most of the essays in this volume were first presented as papers at a twoday conference held in Paris in 2009 at the Centre d’Etudes de l’Inde et de l’Asie du Sud (CNRS/EHESS).1 Our aim in organizing the conference and publishing the present collection with substantially revised contributions was to provide a space for dialogue between scholars working on dialogic forms of cultural mediation in the early modern and modern world. We were intereste…
I Am a Great Sinner
In this article I look into a Jesuit dialogical and catechetical text-a confession manual-published in Tamil in 1580. Written as instructions for Tamil Catholics and for Jesuit confessors, these kinds of texts were nodal points in which Tamils and missionaries reprocessed their knowledge of each other and established rules for appropriate social interaction and Catholic sociability. My claim is that the Confessionairo captured and condensed Tamil…
