Institutum Historicum Societatis Iesu has published a new collection of essays based from presentations first made at a conference on the restoration of the Society of Jesus. The thirty-seven essays in La Compagnie de Jésus des Anciens Régimes au monde contemporain span from the 18th to the 20th centuries. The volume is edited by Pierre-Antoine Fabre, Patrick Goujon, and Martín Morales. The book is co-published with L’École française de Rome and in collaboration with the Pontifical Gregorian University, Rome.
According to IHSI, the volume’s multilingual and multidisciplinary essays “range across a wide chronological, geographical and thematic landscape within the field of modern history, while the papal Suppression (1773) and Restoration (1814) of the worldwide Society provide the volume’s main orientation. Until recently, modern Jesuit history has received relatively limited scholarly attention. This volume aims to guide researchers in the period’s riches and situate the Society in modern historical studies more broadly.”
Of note, the volume unifies the later stages of the Old Society with the years of suppression and with those of the New Society. Therefore, the volume’s “broad frame provides a window onto the great ruptures of European history, the main events of modern Catholic history, and early globalization. While the well-known upheavals of this period come into view, the persistent continuities of these centuries also emerge, exemplified most potently by the Society’s own partial survival during the forty-one years of its papal suppression.”
