Many scholars have studied the role and function of history during Baroque and Renaissance in Europe. However, they often ignored that the challenges put out by the new religious, political and scientific reforms made the philosophy of history an ideological battlefield. Aiming to better understand the dynamics of the conflict in the field of history-thinking during the period 1580–1661, the definition of the Jesuits’ historiographic canon (coherently implemented at a European level) is the main goal of this research. The study of a symbolic and representative case of Jesuits’ method of history making has been defined as the object of this thesis. The emblematic case studied in this work is the historical production of the Lithuanian Jesuit Albert Wijuk-Koialowicz. The thesis demonstrates that the Jesuits, during the period 1580–1661, had actually elaborated an historiographic canon as an answer to the spread of the new scientific method and the dissemination of new moral and political values. This canon was based on the methodological theories of Pedro Hurtado de Mendoza and on the unionist prescriptions of Antonio Possevino. We proved that the canon was consistently implemented beyond the geographic limits usually attributed to the European intellectual debate with examples from Spain (J. de Mariana) to Lithuania (A. W. Koialowicz). Finally, we concluded that the historical production of A. W. Koialowicz could be described as a representative example of the implementation...

Naujųjų religinių, politinių ir mokslo reformų iškelti iššūkiai istorijos filosofiją iš esmės pavertė ideologinės kovos lauku. Siekiant geriau suprasti konflikto dinamiką istorinėje mąstysenoje 1580–1661 m. laikotarpiu, pagrindiniu šio tyrimo tikslu išsikeltas siekis apibrėžti jėzuitų istoriografinį kanoną. Be to, siekiama parodyti, kad šis kanonas radikaliai skyrėsi nuo ekleziastinio ir buvo nuosekliai įdiegtas visoje Europoje nuo Ispanijos iki Lietuvos. Tyrimo objektas – reprezentatyvus ir simbolinis jėzuitų istorijos kūrimo pavyzdys – lietuvių jėzuito Alberto Vijūko-Kojalavičiaus istoriniai veikalai. Disertacijoje parodoma, kad jėzuitai 1580–1661 m. laikotarpiu, duodami atsaką naujo mokslinio metodo plitimui ir naujų moralinių bei politinių vertybių sklaidai, sukūrė savą istoriografinį kanoną. Jo pagrindu tapo Pedro Hurtado de Mendoza‘os metodologinės teorijos ir unionistinės Antonio Possevino idėjos. Remiantis pavyzdžiais, apimančiais šalis nuo Ispanijos (J. de Mariana) iki Lietuvos (A. Vijūkas-Kojalavičius) įrodyta, kad kanonas buvo nuosekliai diegiamas nepaisant geografinių ribų, kurios dažnai ribojo Europos intelektualinius debatus. A. Vijūko-Kojalavičiaus „istorinę produkciją“ galima būtų apibūdinti kaip reprezentatyvų šio istorinio kanono diegimo pavyzdį. Tai... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]

The general purpose of the study was to describe the present status of personnel administrators in selected Ohio school districts.

This master's essay of literary analysis studies the rhetorical notion of the sublime in a number of discourses drawn from the Relations des jesuites de Nouvelle-France, including harangues pronounced by Amerindian leaders, panegyrics, letters of missionaries and dream accounts. In view of models of the sublime proposed by rhetoricians of classical Antiquity, this study shows the close bond which unites ethics and aesthetics in the Jesuit's mind. The criterions according to which the missionaries are affected by the great discourses are considered. This study also emphasizes the influence of the sublime, which provides the impetus for the apostolic vocation and the mystical quest of the Jesuits.

The Society of Jesus, founded in 1540 by St Ignatius of Loyola, dispatched the first group of five priests and three brothers to the Cape in 1875. Their destination was St Aidan's College (1875-1973) in Grahamstown which they would staff. Two of the priests went to Graaff-Reinet where the Society established a mission house and noviciate (1875-1889). On 1 July 1878 the Zambesi Mission was founded with Henry Depelchin as its appointed leader. The Mission was placed under the direct control of the Jesuit General. St Aidan's became the headquarters of the Zambesi Mission and it was hoped that trainees for the Mission would emerge from the College. The first group of missionaries bound for the Zambesi regions left Grahamstown in 1879. Negotiations followed with the Ndebele chiefdom in Bulawayo and stations were established at Tati, Empandeni and Pandamatenga. Unsuccessful probes into Barotseland and Gazaland followed and a decade later the mission to Zambesia was abandoned and the Jesuits returned to the south where there had been further expansion of the Order's activities. Dunbrody (1882-1934), situated on the Sundays River, had been set up as a base for the Zambesi Mission, as an educational centre for Blacks and as a farm. Keilands (1886-1908) was an attempt to establish a missionary base for the extension of activities into the Transkei. Vleischfontein (1884-1894) in the Western Transvaal, was developed as a staging post between Zambesia and the Cape. In 1924 the Order attempted to develop parish work in Claremont, but initially nowhere else. By 1890 the Jesuits were ready to return to Matabeleland and in the post colonial years a string of stations were founded. Partly to conserve its manpower for the Zambesi enterprise and for financial and economic reasons, Graaff-Reinet was abandoned in 1889, followed by Vleischfontein, Keilands, the parish at Claremont, and Dunbrody. By 1934, the terminal point of the thesis, the only Jesuit presence in South Africa was at St Aidan's which was saved from closure by Papal intervention.
