| Summary: | This volume looks at both Jesuit efforts to engage Muslim populations with Europe, such as the Moriscos, and the work of Jesuit missionaries and others in settings such as Constantinople. The activities of the Society of Jesus along the eastern frontier with the Ottoman Empire is detailed, as are the careers of individual Jesuits such as Tomás de León and Antonio Possevino who devoted much of their careers to responding to the claims of Islam and the pressures applied on Christian Europe by Muslim polities. Less well-known Jesuit personalities such as the translator Ignazio Lomellini are also profiled "Unveiling the complex tapestry of Jesuit encounters with the Muslim world, this volume explores their efforts to bridge the gap between Europe and Muslim populations, including the Moriscos. It ventures into the heart of Constantinople, where Jesuit missionaries endeavored to sow the seeds of understanding and cooperation. This book delves deep into the operations of the Society of Jesus at the eastern frontier, adjacent to the formidable Ottoman Empire, offering detailed insights into the unfolding geopolitical dynamics of the time. It immerses the reader in the intriguing narratives of Jesuits like Tomás de León and Antonio Possevino, who dedicated significant portions of their lives to challenging Islam's assertions while mitigating pressures from Muslim polities exerted on Christian Europe. The volume also highlights lesser-known figures, like the accomplished translator Ignazio Lomellini, illuminating their contribution to this fascinating chapter of religious history. In sum, it offers a glimpse into a world where faith, politics, and history collide as we journey through the intricate webs of Jesuit interaction with the Islamic sphere"-- |
