Humanism and Religion in Early Modern Spain brings together
twenty-five essays by renowned historian Terence O’Reilly. The
essays examine the interplay of religion and humanism in a series
of writings composed in sixteenth-century Spain. It begins by
presenting essential background: the coming together during the
reign of the Emperor Charles V of Erasmian humanism and various
movements of religious reform, some of them heterodox. It then
moves on to the reign of Philip II, focusing on the mystical poetry
and prose of St John of the Cross. It explores the influence on his
writings of his humanist learning – classical, biblical and
patristic. The third part of the book concerns a verse-epistle by
John’s contemporary, Francisco de Aldana. One chapter presents
the text with a parallel version in English, whilst two others
trace its debt to Florentine Neoplatonism, particularly the thought
of Marsilio Ficino. The final part is devoted to the humanism of
the poet and Scripture scholar Luis de León, and specifically to
the confluence in his work of biblical and classical motifs. This
book is essential reading for scholars and students of early modern
Spanish history, as well those interested in literary studies and
the history of religion. (CS 1102).
