Condition: Very Good. SOFT POWER: JESUIT-TRAINED CARDINALS ON SHOW. TWO RARE WORKS ILLUSTRATING THE OUTSIZED ROLE PLAYED BY JESUITS IN EARLY MODERN EDUCATION. Folio [32 x 22 cm]. (8), 39 pp, (5), 41-67 pp, (1), 67-196 [i.e. 186] pp, including allegorical engr. frontispiece, portrait of Alexander VII, portrait of Gregory XV, and 29 plates in collation designed by Ciro Ferri and engraved by Guillaume Chasteau. Pages 171-180 omitted in pagination, as issued. Complete, despite the eccentric pagination. Frontispiece trimmed closely at outer edge with fraying and loss of a few mm of image; some toning and occasional staining and wrinkling to scattered leaves. Sole edition of this visual and biographical catalog of one of the crown jewels of the Jesuit education system: the Seminario Romano, founded in 1565. The prestigious Seminario was founded by Jesuits not to train future Jesuits who were unable to accept higher ecclesiastical offices but rather to train secular clerics who might one day become cardinals, and who would presumably look favorably upon the Society as a result. "Adami's Seminarii Romani Pallas Purpurata (1659) took a slightly different angle from the other [cardinal biographies]; it discussed all the alumni of this Jesuit institution who had reached the cardinal's rank and thereby advertised the benefits of a Jesuit education par exemple while, at the same time, making manifest the loyalty the Society expected from those whom its members had educated." (Pattenden, p. 445). Unable to celebrate a pantheon of Jesuit cardinals (Ignatius had all but forbidden the acceptance of high-ranking offices by members of his order), Adami (1620-1706) turns to the Seminario and its impressive ranks. Following an especially lengthy encomium of the Seminario's most illustrious alumnus, Gregory XV, we find 29 further engraved portraits of alumni promoted to the cardinalcy, each accompanied by a Latin verse encomium. The figures are arranged roughly chronologically, and several of them were still living at the time of publication. Although enjoying a brief reign, Gregory XV (r. 1621-1623) was instrumental to the promotion of the Jesuit Order. In 1622 he approved the canonization of Ignatius, and ordered a new church dedicated to the founder to be built alongside the Collegio Romano; pp. 63-65 here explore the pope's affinity for Ignatius, culminating in their ashes being buried just a few hundred meters from each other (Ignatius in the Cappella di Sant'Ignazio inside the Chiesa del Gesù, Gregory in the nearby Capella Ludovisi of the Chiesa di Sant'Ignazio). "Designed by Ciro Ferri and engraved by Guillaume Chasteau, the frontispiece represents Ecclesia, seated on clouds, approached on the right by Nobility, who directs her attention to the bundle of seedlings carried by an attendant putto; and on the left by Divine Wisdom, who offers her a platter of apples. Putti are at work in the garden, planting the seedlings (semina), tending the soil, watering the beds, and up above, harvesting the fruit of the trees that have grown to adulthood within the sheltering walls of the Seminary. The print illustrates, in charming allegorical language, the full cycle of a boy's education: from the arrival of the seedling and its matriculation in the garden to its maturity and fruition." (Rice). In each of the poetic tributes, this floral theme is elaborated, often referring to the former student as a 'Rosa'. OCLC shows a single US copy (Harvard) and a single UK copy (BL). We note that both the British Library copy and the Casanata Library copy are very strongly browned. * De Backer/Sommervogel I col. 48 # 4; Rice, "Pomis sua nomina servant: The Emblematic Thesis Prints of the Roman Seminary" Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes Vol LXX (2008), pp. 195-246; Pattenden, "The Early Modern Historiography of Early Modern Cardinals", in A Companion to the Early Modern Cardinal (2019), pp. 435452.
