This article explores the ways in which the Confessions might have influenced Canisius's self-representation first by establishing the Jesuit's familiarity with the text and then by considering his modes of appropriating it. The Testament and an earlier autobiographical text are the principal sources for analysis. A self-accusatory tone and especially a confessionalized construction of Canisius's life that emphasizes his resolute adherence to Catholicism constitute the most prominent features of his reception of the Confessions. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Church History & Religious Culture is the property of Brill Academic Publishers and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
