Book Synopsis
Between 1548 and 1773 the Jesuits made sixteen attempts, from Turin in the north to Messina in Sicily, to found new universities or to become professors in existing universities. Paul Grendler tells a new story based on years of research. Anyone interested in the volatile mix of universities, religion, and politics will find this book fascinating and instructive.

Trade Review
“The fruit of impressive research in Italian archives and of an extensive reading of international scholarship on the topic. Grendler has written a book which deals with this crucial topic for the history of education, for the history of culture in early modern Italy, and for the history of the Society of Jesus.” —Emanuele Colombo, DePaul University
