Jesuit Re-invention of Scriptural Commentary in a Newly Recovered Text from Seventeenth-Century Quito. aug: au: Genghini, Maria Giulia affil: Department of Classics, King's College London, London, UK su: Manuscripts Libraries Jesuits Biblical commentaries Theology sug: subj: Manuscripts Libraries Jesuits Biblical commentaries Theology ab: A large quantity of manuscripts survives from the vast network of Jesuit libraries established across South America, including many examples of a distinctive kind of Latin Jesuit scriptural meditation. Although the social and economic influence of the Jesuits in South America has been well documented, no study has focussed on the literary and theological interest of these scriptural meditations, or the significant extent to which they innovate scriptural reading in response to the spiritual challenges posed by the new missionary contexts. The submitted article offers a close reading of a fascinating example of this innovative exegetical style by examining excerpts from the Canticum Habacuc Illustratum by Lucas Vicente Imperial (Quito, 1642). While bringing to light the Augustinian models that inspire this particular kind of exegetical reception, the text also shows the nuances of Jesuit biblical exegesis and its specific connection with contemporary and practical needs. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: International Journal of the Classical Tradition is a copyright of Springer, 2023.
