1676 1^ed Spanish Saint Ignatius Loyola Spiritual Exercises JESUIT 54 Engravings

Ignatius of Loyola was a Spanish priest during the 15^th-century, who is remembered for founding the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits. He composed various spiritual exercises, wrote simple meditations and prayers which contributed to the growth of Jesuit doctrine. According to Puhl, these Jesuit devotionals were designed with the intention of

“helping participants in religious retreats to discern the will of God in their lives.” (Puhl, Ignatian Spirituality).

Ignatius aimed to have the reader develop spiritual discernment, or the ability to discern between good and evil spirits. This 1676 edition was published in Antwerp by Knobbaert and is notable for its impressive allegorical illustrations throughout!
