This refreshing re-evaluation of the so-called autobiography of
Ignatius Loyola (c. 1491-1556) situates Ignatius's Acts against the
backgrounds of the spiritual geography of Luke's New Testament
writings and the culture of Renaissance humanism. Ignatius Loyola's
So-Called Autobiography builds upon recent scholarly consensus,
examines the language of the text that Ignatius Loyola dictated as
his legacy to fellow Jesuits late in life, and discusses relevant
elements of the social, historical, and religious contexts in which
the text came to birth. Recent monographs by Marjorie O'Rourke
Boyle and John W. O'Malley have characterized Ignatius's Acts as a
mirror of vainglory and of apostolic religious life, respectively.
In this study, John M. McManamon, S.J., persuasively argues that an
appreciation of the two Lukan New Testament writings likewise helps
interpret the theological perspectives of Ignatius. The geography
of Luke's two writings and the theology that undergirds Luke's
redactional innovation assisted Ignatius in remembering and
understanding the crucial acts of God in his own life. This
eloquent, lucidly written new book is essential reading for anyone
interested in Ignatius, the early Jesuits, sixteenth-century
religious life, and the history of early modern Europe.

By studying the funeral orations of Renaissance Italy, McManamon
analyzes Italian humanism as a characteristic phase in Western
rhetorical culture. By examining hundreds of funeral speeches, he
provides a valuable overview of major civic issues and humanistic
themes, adding significant new material to the history of rhetoric.
When Italian humanists spoke at funerals, they took this unique
opportunity to press for their reformist goals.
