Within it were spaces dedicated to particular functions, each of which generated patterns of sound that changed over time. the library, for example, started as a place of considerable noise, as readers pronounced aloud the texts before them; it later grew quieter, as silent reading became the norm. spaces concerned with the raising of animals, the transport of objects up steep slopes (at Mont-st-Michel this involved the use of pulleys), or the production of wine or cheese each had their characteristic range of sounds. these could be either amplified or deadened by the space's interior surfaces, and could be altered by advances in technology and changes in architecture or interior furnishing. the infirmarium (also infirmaria or infirmatorium, later firmarium; in english, fermary, fermory, or farmary), in Volume 10 Issue 1

Born a Protestant, Pázmány converted to Catholicism while a student and then became a Jesuit. Despite the Society’s requirement of vows from its members that excluded the possibility of holding high ecclesiastical office, Pázmány became provost of Turóc (a small church benefice in northern Hungary) and shortly thereafter archbishop of Esztergom and primate of Hungary. His tenure was marked by ecclesiastical reform and multiple educational projects of which the most notable was the founding of a university in Nagyszombat (Trnava). He was also the author of influential devotional and polemical works in the Hungarian vernacular. Pázmány’s legacy as a preserver and promoter of a “civilization” and a creed both Christian and European and of a culture distinctly Hungarian endures, as does his reputation as a master and shaper of Hungarian prose.

Kollár, who left the Jesuits early in his career, authored works defending the rights of the Hungarian crown, and chronicled the history of the Rusyn people, ultimately achieved an international reputation as a scholar, coining the term ethnologia. Pray is remembered for his discovery of the oldest written example of the Hungarian language, his extensive historical publications, and for his role, following the papal suppression of 1773, as “Historiographus Hungariae” (Hungary’s hagiographer). The impact of these scholarly efforts by these former Jesuits was a rich and enduring foundation upon which later Hungarian historiography and library science would be based.

Arator's work, Confutatio alcorani (1610) relies on the 1543 Bibliander edition of the translation made by Robert of Ketton and on Juan Andrés’ Confusión o confutación de la secta Mahomética y del Alcorán. Pázmány, in his Az mostan tamat uy tvdomaniok hamissaganak (1605) also draws on Bibliander, while presenting his own translations of, and commentaries on, Bibliander into Hungarian, the language of Pázmány's work. Both Arator and Pázmány were influenced more by the political and confessional dynamics surrounding them than by any apparent desire to grasp the meaning of the Qur'an. The crisis that both Catholicism and, more broadly, European Christianity, faced in the early seventeenth century overshadows these Jesuits’ efforts to explore the Qur'an. Pázmány, in particular, uses the Qur'an to make a case against Prot...

The gaps between urban, transnational, and book-oriented Jesuit culture and the traditional, rural, and preliterate cultures of many Orthodox populations were underscored by different theological ideas and by great power politics. Ethnic rivalries and a historic suspicion of Catholicism among some Orthodox also contributed to tensions. Jesuits nonetheless worked over a wide portion of Russia, the Balkans, and other locations in Eastern Europe, although their success in converting Orthodox was always very modest. The Soviet era brought severe persecution to Jesuits. Since 1991, the Society has returned to the region, but with a focus now based on education, compassion, outreach, and social justice rather than on proselytizing.

But Jesuit efforts both to convert and to understand this "people of the Book" were hampered by the Jesuits' lack of deep theological understanding of Muslim sacred texts, and by the fact that this faith was not at a sufficient distance from the European Catholic heartland to receive the "longer view" that Jesuits could apply to the religious traditions of India and the Far East. The overstretched commitments of the Jesuits, and the European Society's emphasis on polemical strategies, which did not prove workable in predominantly Muslim cultures, significantly limited the successes of Jesuits seeking to convert Muslims. The modest gains Jesuits made in the Ottoman and Mughal Empires and in other Muslim societies nevertheless provided narratives of achievement, heroism, and sacrifice that added elements to Jesuit self-presentation and to the narrative of the Society's progress. Jesuit contacts with Islam continued during and after the Suppression and are still an aspect of the Society's program today.

Shore’s narrative approaches these years, and the period preceding the suppression, from a new perspective that covers individuals not usually discussed in works dealing with this topic. As well as examining the contributions of former Jesuits to fields as diverse as ethnology—a term and concept pioneered by an ex-Jesuit—and library science, where Jesuits and ex-Jesuits laid the groundwork for the great advances of the nineteenth century, the essay also explores the period the exiled Society spent in the Russian Empire. It concludes with a discussion of the Society’s restoration in the broader context of world history.

Because Jesuit formation involves the visualization of events and persons never seen, Jesuits of this period were in a special position to construct an imaginary Muslim, which they derived from translations of the Qur'an, from artworks, including book illustrations, and from the patterns and symbolism of Jesuit emblematics. This essay explores how baroque Jesuit visualization of the Muslim body was shaped by these factors, and also by other Europe-wide phenomena such as turcica literature.

His faith having ruled out his being called to the Bar, Strickland rose as high as he could in his chosen profession but maintained a sideline in representing the interests of several exile religious communities. He acted as agent for four English convents: the Augustinians at Louvain, the Benedictines in Dunkirk, and the Dominican and the Benedictine communities in Brussels. He also had dealings with the English male house of Carthusians at Nieuport. Strickland's papers have survived at Mapledurham in Oxfordshire, the editor of the volume at hand, Richard Williams, asserting that they are the only complete set of an English lawyer's papers to have been preserved from the period. In this volume, Williams reproduces letters, account books and bills of exchange from Strickland's dealings with the exile houses, particularly the convents. Of especial interest are the letters though, oddly, considering the book's focus on Strickland, it is not actually his letters that survive but those that he received from the nuns. Nevertheless, from the correspondence reproduced here it is possible to build a picture of Strickland's activities on their behalf, from the general investment of funds and the chasing of money owing, to the passing on of books to the expat women. Williams also provides an introduction to the volume, as well as some useful pen pictures of recurring individuals. The introduction is light on engagement with the historiography of the English convents, with some highly contentious opinions ventured, Williams very much viewing the documents with Strickland rather than the women religious as the principle point of attention. For example, Williams take a dim view of Cecily Tunstall, procuratrix for the Augustinian canonesses at Louvain, painting her in a disparaging light against Strickland's alleged professionalism, a picture that seems harsh from reading the documents. After all, the 'little' jobs that Tunstall wanted to have done may have been irksome to Strickland but they were the job of the agent. Admittedly, after all his training, Strickland may not have enjoyed acting as the eighteenth-century equivalent of a debt collector, tasked with the unenviable job of tracking down convent benefactors for non-payment, but then he did accept that role, presumably out of religious affinity, though his motives are not explored by Williams. Overall, for historians of the exile religious communities and scholars of early eighteenth-century legal and economic studies, this volume is a rich resource to be discovered and exploited from a range of perspectives.

She draws upon the work of evolutionary musicologists and anthropologists to help define these vocable expressions. Examples from living genres such as Cree hunting songs, Jewish nigun and Roma Pentacostal expressions illustrate the prevalence of this spontaneous response to an immediate physical situation. The author argues that this human attribute whose longevity is assured partly because of its ease of production, mainly tongue action, has great potential to illuminate human evolution. But can vocables survive You Tube?

The documentation, drawn from mostly European and North American samples, demonstrates a strong correlation between human sonic creations and their context. This correlation involves multi-varied sonic particulars, depending upon the acoustic characteristics of the space, the sound, and the human intervention between them such as printed notation. Once descried, however, the links lead us to edifying questions about the history of our organized sound genres such as song and music.

By studying theologians, legal cases, literature, individuals, and congregations this volume uncovers the particular local dynamics at play in Central and Eastern Europe. These issues are explored from the perspectives of diverse groups of Christians, such as Catholics, Hussites, Bohemian Brethren, Old Believers, Eastern Orthodox, Lutherans, Calvinists, Moravians, and Unitarians. The volume is a much-needed addition to the scholarly books written on religious conflict, toleration, and peace from the Western European perspective.
