Phillipe Alegambe
Born
in Brussels, Phillipe Alegambe went to Spain and accompanied
the Duke of Osuna to Sicily where he entered the Society
of Jesus. After completing his studies in Rome, he taught
philosophy and theology in Gratz, Austria. His main publication
is Bibliotheca Scriptorum Societatis Jesu (1642).
A Jesuit historiographer, Father Alegambe
published this book on the life of Father João Cardim, and was
considered by many to have lived the life of a saint
with the help of his brother and fellow Jesuit, Father
António
Cardim.

Rome: Paulus Maupinus and Matthaeus Greuterus, 1608.
A very early if not the first Jesuit martyrology.
A poignant reminder of the Spanish settlement of Florida
in the 16th century is the large number of Jesuits who
died for the faith there, the first being Pedro Martinez,
S.J., killed and "thrown into the sea" on September
24, 1566. Also included are numerous Jesuits who died
in Brazil.

Agostinho Barbosa
A
canon lawyer and noted for his sanctity, affability,
and prodigious memory, Agostinho Barbosa went to Madrid
as an ecclesiastical judge in 1632, and in 1648 was
appointed bishop of Ugento in Naples. He was a prolific
author in the field of canon law, over 150 works in
Latin alone, and his collected works were published
in 19 volumes at Lyons (1657-75). At the tender age
of 21, Barbosa published the most complete Latin-Portuguese
dictionary to date according to Bento Pereira, a contemporary
Portuguese lexicographer. The Dictionarium Lusitanico
Latinum was published in Braga in 1611.

Pedro Barbosa
A notable politician respected by colleagues and professors
alike, Pedro Barbosa finished his studies of Law and ascended
through the judicial ranks with great ease becoming Supreme Council
of Justice at the Royal Palace, the Court Appointed Representative
to the Inquisition in Coimbra, Advisor to the Portuguese government
in Madrid, and Chancellor of Portugal. Despite Barbosa's unconcealed
opinion that Phillip II was not entitled to the crown of Portugal,
the monarch attempted to gain his support and lure him to Castile.
Barbosa never accepted.

Gaspar Coelho
Father
Coelho joined the Society of Jesus on his way to India
in 1556. Upon his arrival he taught in Goa and served
as a missionary for eighteen years, preaching mostly
in the kingdom of Omura. Considered to be a leader
and political figure due to his status as Superior
and Vice-Provincial of the Jesuit mission in Japan,
he was frequently consulted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi,
a powerful feudal ruler who unified Japan. During his
term, Father Coelho had promised to aid Hideyoshi to
invade mainland China by supplying two Portuguese ships
and Portuguese troops from India. This broken promise
was the catalyst in future Jesuit-Japanese relations
and is seen as leading to the Christian persecutions
in Japan.

Collegium Conimbricensis
The
Collegium Conimbricensis is the name
by which the Jesuits from the University
of Coimbra, Portugal were known. The
University prepared voluminous commentaries
on the philosophical writings of Aristotle
which were not intended for publication,
only for teaching the students. After
discovering the existence of fraudulent
publications, Father Claudio Aquaviva,
the General of the Society of Jesus,
assigned Father Pedro da Fonseca the
task of supervising the revision of
these commentaries for publication and
giving each of the publications the
initial title of Commentarii Collegii
Conimbricensis Societatis Iesu...
or Commentary of the Jesuit College
of Coimbra.... Father Fonseca
was widely known as the "Aristotle" of
Portugal. We present here four of
these volumes. Also see Pedro da Fonseca's Eight

Bartolomeu
dos Mártires
The Dominican
born Bartholomeu Vale in Lisbon and
raised in the parish of Our Lady of
the Martyrs, changed his name to Batholomeu
of the Martyrs to honor the church
in which he was baptized. Appointed
by Queen Catarina of Portugal to
be Archbishop of Braga, one of the
oldest religious centers in the Iberian
Peninsula, in 1558 Father Bartholomeu
took it upon himself to instruct both
clergy members and the general population.
His first act was to turn
the Dominican run Colégio de São Paulo
over to the Jesuits. The fight to improve the education
of the clergy through reform took place during the
Council of Trent in 1562, when his famous words were
uttered: "The Illustrious Cardenals require an
illustrious reform." In 1572 he founded a seminary
lead by Friar João de Leiria despite heavy
opposition.

A true narrative of the horrid plot and
conspiracy of the Popish Party against
the life of His Sacred Majesty, the Government,
and the
Protestant religion: with a list of
such noblemen, gentlemen, and others that
were the conspirators,
and the head-officers, both civil and
military, that were to effect it: published
by the order
of the Right Honorable the Lords Spiritual
and Temporal in Parliament assembled:

London: Thomas Parkhurst and
Thomas Cockerill ..., 1679.
Writings of Titus Oates, a 17th century charlatan,
who instigated the "Popish
Plot" to kill King Charles II of England.
His accusations ignited widespread fears
of a Catholic conspiracy, resulting in
the executions of numerous "traitors"
linked to the purported plot. Despite
the lack of evidence of such a plot, Oates
was a popular figure in his time, considering
himself the "Saviour of the Nation".

Jódoco
Perret Father Jódoco
Perret was a professor, a writer, and a missionary
in Maranhão, Northeastern Brazil. Born
in Switzerland (1633), he joined the Society
of Jesus in 1653. After having taught philosophy
in Munich, Father Perret was sent to Santiago
de Compostela, Spain to serve as a confessor
and then on to Lisbon, where he received orders
to go to Brazil's first capital, Salvador. He
arrived in Maranhão in 1678 and was the
mission's Superior in 1684 when a mutiny carried
out by fellow priests against the Jesuits and
the governor took place. After his expulsion,
Father Perret embarked on a trip to Ceará,
also in Northeastern Brazil, only
to be robbed, held captive, and then
abandoned by pirates on
a deserted island. He returned to
Lisbon to request the return of the
mutinous missionaries, but
due to his well-known ill temper and
general lack of tact he was forced
to leave.

Manuel
de Sá
Father Manuel de
Sá joined the Society of Jesus at the
Collegium Conimbricensis when he was fifteen.
At a young age he had already taught philosophy
and and was a pupil of St. Francis of Borja,
whom he accompanied to Rome in 1550. At the
request of St. Ignatius Loyola, he began what
was to be a brilliant career as professor
of theology and the Holy Scripture in the
Roman
College. After presiding over an eight-day
discussion on theological conclusions (Assertiones
theologiae disputandae in templo S. J. tempore
electionis Praepositi generalis, respondente
uno ejusdem Societatis ..., Roma 1558),
and having been praised for his modesty and
vastness of knowledge, Pope Pius V appointed
Father Sá to be one of the editors
of an official version of the Vulgate Bible
seen
here.

the most influential printing and publishing

late nineteenth centuries. Its founder, Christoffel

improvement of typographical techniques during
this time period.

English translation of one of the first works
to detail the history and customs of China to a
European audience. Semedo, a Jesuit who arrived
in Goa in 1608 and later sent to China in 1613
to study the language, is known for being the first
European to recognize the virtues of tea, its usefulness,
and to teach how to prepare it. Two years later,
however, fearful of the Jesuits' influence, elements
of the Chinese government expelled its members
and imprisoned others. Semedo was jailed temporarily
as well, although permitted back into the country
by the new Tatar government now in power. The Tatars
more readily accepted the Jesuits due to their
vast knowledge of mathematics and astronomy. His
writing about China and its people, considered
to be the best descriptions by a European since
Marco Polo, was enormously influential and subsequently
published in numerous languages and editions.

António
Vieira
Missionary, diplomat, and orator, António
Vieira was a child when he touched Brazilian
soil for the first time. He studied under
the Jesuits and joined the Society of Jesus at
fifteen
and
pronounced his first vows two years later.
By the age of eighteen, Vieira was teaching
rhetoric and
writing commentaries on the Canticle of
Canticles, the Tragedies of Seneca, and Metamorphoses of Ovid.
In 1640, when the Dutch besieged Bahia,
he delivered his “Discourse for the success
of the Portuguese Arms” astounding all by
his eloquence. King John IV, recognizing
Vieira’s
merit made him tutor of the Infante Dom
Pedro, court preacher,
and member of the Royal Council.
A champion
of freedom, Vieira maintained that no
citizen should be
exempt of taxation, and denounced the
severity of the Portuguese Inquisition.
Despite traveling
on several diplomatic missions, Vieira
steadily refused the official title of
ambassador and the
offer of a bishopric. In 1652 he returned
to Maranhão,
Northeastern Brazil, only to be driven
back to Lisbon due to his fearless denunciations
of the excesses
of slave owners. Upon successfully pleading
the cause of the natives of the area,
Vieira returned to Brazil and worked for
six years traveling
hundreds
of miles on the Amazon and its tributaries
spreading his translation of the Catechism
into the local
lore, until slave owners once again drove
him back to Lisbon. He found many enemies
on his return
to the Portuguese court due to the succession
of Alphonso VI. His leniency to the converted
Jews, alleged doctrinal errors, and millenarianist
beliefs
among others lead the Portuguese Inquisition
to condemn Vieira, forbidding him from
preaching
and
keeping him prisoner. After a reversal
of the sentence, he traveled to Rome where
he was well received
and spent six years. He desire to return
to Brazil, however, was still strong and
1681 did so and worked
in Maranhão, once again until he passed
away at the age of eighty-nine.

António Vieira’s Sermões (Sermons)
alone consist of fifteen volumes of his Obras completas (Complete
Works). He was amazingly productive, having, for instance,
thirty sermons on the Rosary, eighteen
on Saint Francis Xavier, and fourteen on the Eucharist. Vieira produced over
five hundred letters during his lifetime.

[Escrita por Antonio Vieira. Traduccida
en lengua castellana, por Alonso Antonio
Rodriguez
Santivañez].
The first edition of this book was published
posthumously in Portuguese in 1718. Vieira
set forth a messianic doctrine based on
the Book of Daniel which prophesized
the coming of a new era for the Portuguese
as the “Fifth Empire”; moreover,
the empire that would never be destroyed.
The first four were considered to be the
Assyrians, the Persians, the Greeks, and
the Romans.
