In The Martyrs of Japan, Rady Roldan-Figueroa examines the role
that Catholic missionary orders played in the dissemination of
accounts of Christian martyrdom in Japan. The work combines several
historiographical approaches, including publication history,
history of missions, and "new" institutional history. The author
offers an overarching portrayal of the writing, printing, and
circulation of books of 'Japano-martyrology.' The book is organized
into two parts. The first part, "Spirituality of Writing,
Publication History, and Japano-martyrology," addresses topics
ranging from the historical background of Christianity in Japan to
the publishers of Japano-martyrology. The second part, "Jesuits,
Discalced Franciscans, and the Production of Japano-martyrology in
the Early Modern Spanish World," features closer analysis of
selected works of Japano-martyrology by Jesuit and Discalced
Franciscan writers.
