Monita privata (secreta) Societatis Iesu
Uncover the enigmatic history of Monita privata, a provocative anti-Jesuit text that captivated early modern Europe and fueled centuries of controversy. This new critical edition reexamines the origins, authorship, and geopolitical significance of the text, challenging the traditional attribution to Hieronim Zahorowski and suggesting a broader anti-Jesuit campaign originating in Venetian circles. Through rigorous analysis and newly included Polish translations, this edition situates Monita privata as a key artifact in the polemics of its time, offering fresh perspectives on Jesuit influence and propaganda. Rich with scholarly insights, this edition is indispensable for anyone exploring early modern religious and political history.
A Catalogue of Books Printed in the Fifteenth Century Now in the Bodleian Library
The Bodleian's incunable catalogue describes the Library's fifteenth-century western printed books to the same standards expected in the best modern catalogues of medieval manuscripts. It records and identifies all texts contained in each volume, and the detailed analysis of the textual content is an innovative feature. Further information about authors, editors, translators, and dedicatees is given in an extensive index of names, complete with biographical and other information; this index will be of interest to textural scholars from the classical period to the renaissance. The detailed descriptions of the copy-specific features of each book (the binding, hand-decoration and hand-finishing, marginalia, and provenance) form another important contribution to scholarship. The provenance index will be of great value to all those interested in the history of the book from the 1450s to the present day.
