Bibliotheca selecta -
Here is another Wiki I wrote on Jesuit historical culture.
Bibliotheca selecta is a bibliographic almanac by the Jesuit Antonio Possevino, published in two folio volumes by the Vatican printer Domenico Basa in 1593. The full title was Bibliotheca selecta de ratione studiorum in Historia, In Disciplinis, in salute omnium procuranda. It represents an authoritative and up-to-date Jesuit compendium of Counter Reformation knowledge.
Part I, {Books 1-11} outlines a comprehensive bibliography on theology, scholastic, catechetical and controversial, and incorporates works by such contemporary Jesuit missionaries as Alessandro Valegnano and Edmund Campion.
Part II summarizes the literature and bibliography for law {12}, philosophy {13} and medicine {14). Possevino is creating an authorized bibliography of the traditional arts and sciences elaborating the humanistic educational precepts of the Jesuit Ratio Studiorum. The liberal arts are dealt with in the final books on architecture and geography {15}, history {16} poetry & painting {17} and rhetoric {18}. The major thrust of Possevino's orthodox compendium is the creation of a bibliography of the humanist culture of the Late Renaissance that is both confidently encyclopedic and outspokenly anti-heretical. The criterion of orthodoxy is underscored in his previous Iudicium de Nuae, Iohannis Bodini, Philippe-Mornaei et Machiavelli scripta, 1592, which placed the works of leading writers such as Niccolò Machiavelli and Jean Bodin on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. In addition to two revised folio editions of the Bibliotheca selecta printed in Venice, 1603 and Cologne, 1607, several books were reprinted in separate editions, notably Book 16, as Apparatus ad historiam omnium gentium (1596), a thorough bibliography of the ancient and contemporary literature of world history reworking and updating Bodin's Methodus ad facilem historiarum cognitionem (1566).

Daniello Bartoli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is mostly by me.
It makes me want to get my hands on the complete Marietti edition, the one that I read in a folio ediion at the Casa Scrittori of the Archivum Historicum of the Society of Jesus.
It took me months and months and months to read the Istoria della Compagnia di Gesu

Daniello Bartoli
Bartoli is at the center of my India.
So it's time that I introduce him,
Above I'll put what I wrote in Wikipedia.
Jesuit missions in India are the subject of Book VI of his Asia (1653)
This is what I reread for my trip and want to translate into English.
Hoc Opus, hic Labor.

L'Enfance du Christ
Today is the birthday of Hector Berlioz in 1803.
In my adolescence I idolized Berlioz.
He was the Romantic artist, par excellence.
The heroic and gigantic side of Berlioz completely absorbed me.
Romeo and Juliette, Te Deum, Requiem: Works of Genius and Poetry.
Think of the exquisite literary taste, that made him also an excellent critic.
Faust, Shakespeare, Byron, Vergil and the incomparable poetry of Les Nuits D'Ete.
I even wrote a sonnet.
Hommage to Hector Berlioz.
Perhaps I can locate it.

Who knew!
Also in the New York Times Movies data base for the subtitles for Fortini/Cani [1975]
There is also a listing for Gregory Woods backpack in the Google Index, but although I have seen the product at Paragon several years ago I didn't find it in the Gregory catalogue. I guess my bag is an old bag.

Anthony de Mello (priest) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediahttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7194350940635121846
Here's a link to some pretty mind blowing wisdom about being with God in the world, being aware and loving.
De Mello was a Jesuit from India, full of humor and atuned to a universal striving for AWARENESS.

Sunday Dinner with Beth and Dorry
We went to a great Indian restaurant on the southwest corner of First Ave. and Indian Restaurant row on East 6th Street. We all ordered lamb. It was fun to show my pix of India.

Tomb of Xavier
This is the shrine containing the saint's body [minus right arm] in the Jesuit Church of Bom Gesu [1595] in Old Goa.
Shrine to St. Francis Xavier in Fontainhas, Panjim
One of my best pictures of the colonial section of Panjim, capital of Goa.
The wax melted into the river you see as the basis of the conflagration.
More Xaveriana- Bartoli
Only one image at a post, so it seems for now.
Here is another mix of an illustration of a 19th century life of the saint translated from Bartoli's ASIA and the statue of his ecstatic contemplation of the cross that I bought a fair copy of at Bom Gesu.
Xaveriana
The previous entry was copied and pasted from a Wikipedia article on the saint.

December 3, Feast of St. Francis Xavier
Death
The Altar of St. Francis Xavier Parish in Nasugbu, Batangas, Philippines. St. Francis is the principal patron of the town, together with Our Lady of Escalera.On 21 November, on Shangchuan Island, he fainted after celebrating Mass. He died on 3 December 1552, at age 46, without having reached mainland China.
He was first buried on a beach of Shangchuan Island. His incorrupt body was taken from the island in February 1553 and was temporarily buried in St. Paul's church in Malacca on 22 March, 1553. An open grave in the church now marks the place of Xavier's burial. Pereira came back from Goa, removed the corpse shortly after April 15, 1553, and moved it to his house.
On 11 December, 1553, Xavier's body was shipped to Goa. The body is now in the in the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Goa, where it was placed in a glass container encased in a silver casket on December 2, 1637.
Casket of Saint Francis Xavier in the Basilica of Bom Jesus in GoaThe right forearm, which Xavier used to bless and baptize his converts, was detached by Pr. Gen. Claudio Acquaviva in 1614. It has been displayed since in a silver reliquary at the main Jesuit church in Rome, Il Gesù[2].
In 1950 this arm, as a "relic," was taken on tour, including in the United States, where a photograph of it was published in Life Magazine. A doctor's wife wrote to the magazine saying, "That's not a right arm, it's a left arm." The magazine replied, saying that can't be--the saint's left arm is still attached to his body, buried in India.
[edit] Legacy
St. Francis Xavier is noteworthy for his missionary work, both as organizer and as pioneer. By his compromises in India with the Christians of St. Thomas, he developed the Jesuit missionary methods along lines that subsequently became a successful blueprint for his order to follow. His efforts left a significant impression upon the missionary history of India and, as one of the first Jesuit missionaries to the East Indies, his work is of fundamental significance to the propagation of Christianity in China and Japan. He was a inspiration to many people with his miraculous work.
Pope Benedict XVI said of both Ignatius of Loyola and Francis Xavier: "not only their history which was interwoven for many years from Paris and Rome, but a unique desire — a unique passion, it could be said — moved and sustained them through different human events: the passion to give to God-Trinity a glory always greater and to work for the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ to the peoples who had been ignored."[3]
As the foremost saint from Navarre and one of the main Jesuit saints, he is very venerated in Spain and the Hispanic countries where Francisco Javier or Javier are common male given names[4]. As a spin-off, Xavier itself became a male name popular in Portugal, Brazil, France, Belgium, and southern Italy. In Austria and Bavaria the name is spelled as Xaver (pronounced Ksaber and often used in addition to Francis as Franz-Xaver. Xavier is one of the few names starting with X in English.
