Diego Lainez, SJ: First Biographer of Saint Ignatius of Loyola
According to Ignatius of Loyola there was no one to whom the Society owed more than to Diego Lainez.
This present volume has three parts: A biography of Diego Lainez, S.J., the second superior general of the Society of Jesus; his lengthy 1547 letter to Juan de Polanco, secretary of the Society, a letter sometimes called the first "biography" of Ignatius of Loyola and an account of the founding years of the Society; and, thirdly, a more elaborate account of Lainez's material from Polanco himself.
The biography by Antonio Alburquerque gives long-overdue attention to Lainez himself and to his many accomplishments, for instance, his service as theologian at the Council of Trent, at the 1561 Colloquy of Catholics and Protestants at Poissy in France, and as Jesuit superior general. It also offers many little-known details about that life and about his personal relations, especially with Ignatius of Loyola.
