Opis

This book gives a detailed description of all books, published in the Dutch Republic and its Generality Lands between 1567 and 1773 - the year in which the Society of Jesus was suppressed by Pope Clement XIV for political reasons -, written by Jesuits from the Low Countries and elsewhere. Locations of the books are given, as far as possible, as well as bibliographical sources. Many of these publications are pirate editions, mainly from France and Germany. Technical and historical introductions precede this bibliography, and several indexes and registers conclude this work. The titles show the areas in which Jesuits have been active, and indicate their influence in many fields. A similar work has never been attempted before.
