In 1588, the Spanish Jesuit Pedro de Ribadeneyra published a
history of the English Reformation, which he continued to revise
until his death in 1611. Spencer J. Weinreich's translation is the
first English edition of the History, one fully alive to its
metamorphoses over two decades. Weinreich's introduction explores
the text's many dimensions-propaganda for the Spanish Armada,
anti-Protestant polemic, Jesuit hagiography, consolation amid
tribulation-and assesses Ribadeneyra as a historian. The extensive
annotations anchor Ribadeneyra's narrative in the historical record
and reconstruct his sources, methods, and revisions. The History,
long derided as mere propaganda, emerges as remarkable evidence of
the centrality of historiography to the intellectual, theological,
and political battles of early modern Europe.
