Saint Ignatius Loyola Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Life of St. Ignatius Loyola The grey morning was breaking mistily over the little town of Pamplona in Navarre. To many of those within the citadel it seemed as if the greyness of the morning had found its way into their very hearts, so unpromising was the outlook that lay before them. The little garrison had been weakened by the retreat of many of the Spanish officers their fortifications were incomplete; ammunition was scarce; and encamped at their very gates lay the French army. The attack might begin at any moment, and unless the expected reinforcements arrived, nothing could save the citadel.'

Excerpt from Saint Ignatius of Loyola Exercises, the Constitutions, and especially the Letters. When I have had recourse to other sources I have been careful to acknowledge them. This book has been written with perfect freedom. If it is not found to contain many concessions to inveterate suspicion and bias it is because nothing is more calculated to destroy a host of prejudices than prolonged intercourse with a man above the common. There are some legends which belittle human nature, just as there are others which hide it from view under improbable marvels. It is an understood thing that the aim of this Series is to refute those contradictions of exact truth which have been propagated by both classes.

Excerpt from The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola The Exercises were offered for ecclesiastical censure at Rome. The text submitted was not, however, the one which is here reproduced, but two Latin translations, one in more polished Latin - since called the Fulgate Version - and one a literal rendering. The opinions expressed on these versions, as also the formal approval of Paul III, are given here, as applying quite entirely to the text from which the translations were made. Vulgate Version We have read everything compiled in the volume: it has greatly pleased us and seemed remarkably conducive to the salvation of souls. The Cardinal of Burgos We grant leave to print the work; it is worthy of all praise and very profitable to the Christian profession. Philip, Vicar. Such holy Exercises cannot but afford the greatest profit to any one who studies them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from St. Ignatius Loyola and the Early Jesuits The appearance of the Commentarium de origine Soc. Jesu, by Simon Rodriguez; of the Memoirs of F. Manare, De Rebus Societatis Jesu Commentarius Oliverii Manaraei, Florence, 1886; of the Letters of St. Ignatius, Las Cartas de San Ignacio, Madrid, 1874-1889; of Pere Clair's elaborately illustrated and annotated Vie de S. Ignace, Paris, 1890, have given materials for a work which may be called a new life. The illustrations are from the pencils of Mr. Wain and of Messrs. H. W. and H. C. Brewer. It has been the wish of the author to reproduce, as far as possible, the surroundings of the story as they were in the days of the Saint. The authorities for these restorations, which have been the subject of most painstaking study, are given in the Appendix. The Bollandist Fathers have kindly put at the disposal of the author the copperplates which illustrate the life of St. Ignatius in their great work.
