from Part I - Ignatius of Loyola
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 September 2008
During the last sixteen years of his life, Ignatius of Loyola founded the Society of Jesus, served as its Superior General (from 25 April 1541), and wrote Constitutions for this new religious order. Access to Ignatius of Loyola, however, cannot be direct but has to pass through his various personae. This essay examines in turn five titles, representative of these personae, titles that originated with his companions, followers, biographers, and historians and are indicative of five different strata thatmake up his figure: “Iñigo” (the Christian in his relationship with the Absolute), “our Father Master Ignatius” (the friend for the group of his intimate and close colleagues), the “Founder” (the leader for the Society of Jesus), “Saint Ignatius” (the point of departure for a new spirituality), “Loyola” (as known by the Encyclopaedists and “Counter-Reformation” historians).
