Product Overview

The Life of Ignatius of Loyola was written about a decade after the saintā€™s death by Pedro de Ribadeneira, an early companion who became an important witness of the early decades of the new order. He presents the story of Ignatius and the early Jesuits in a brisk yet sweeping narrative, with sharp insights into Ignatian spirituality and the thinking behind the orderā€™s apostolic activity. Until the publication of this English translation by Claude Pavur, S.J., the complete work was accessible only in Latin or Spanish. Pavur writes in his introduction that Ribadeneiraā€™s Life ā€œhas not always been the biography preferred by everyone,ā€ and ā€œbrighterā€ accounts of the saintā€™s life have received more attention. But Ribadeneira was an ā€œhonest disciple who believed that no invention was needed to enhance the spiritual greatness of his subject,ā€ and he adhered to the dictum ā€œGodā€™s glory does not need lies.ā€ This edition includes new annotations along with notes from CĆ”ndido de Dalmasesā€™s 1965 critical edition of the Latin and Spanish text, plus appendices with timelines.
