| Summary: | "This volume is the critical edition of a seventeenth-century manuscript about youth and education in Italy, Memoirs of Seventeen Boarders at the College of Nobles in Parma (1670), preserved at the Biblioteca Comunale 'Passerini Landi', Piacenza. A later manuscript at the Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu was part of a publication project that never went ahead in the 1820s, shortly after the papal restoration of the Society of Jesus. Published for the first time, the work is by Orazio Smeraldi SJ (1592-1672) and narrates the lives and premature deaths of a number of young boarders who were at the college overseen by the Society of Jesus. It is filled with insights into college life, seen through the eyes of the author. Edited by Miriam Turrini, the book includes the full transcribed text of Memoirs in the original Italian language, with extensive annotations and a substantial Introduction in English that places the work and its author in context. Orazio Smeraldi's work is a valuable source for scholars and students of the history of education, and of the Jesuit role in the early modern pedagogical sphere."-- |
