This article reflects upon the impact of the work of John W. O’Malley, S.J. (1927– 2022), on the field of the history of Jesuit education. In The First Jesuits (1993), O’Malley provided an innovative approach to the subject that refuted some long-standing preconceptions about the way Jesuit schools and universities had originally developed. The approach that he took to the topic throughout the 1990s and 2000s allowed him to identify two intertwined educational traditions at the heart of the Jesuit pedagogical model: the humanistic tradition of the Renaissance period, based on the Isocratic concept of pietas , and the scholastic tradition inherited from the medieval universities. This article focuses on the consequences of these findings: 1) at the historiograp hical level, O’Malley came to elaborate a philosophy of history around the traditional concept of humanism as it emerged in Four Cultures of the West (2004) and in his tetralogy (2008 – 2019) on modern ecumenical councils; 2) at the pedagogical level, O’Malley came to outline 5 “humanistic” hooks (2015), which are still essential tools for those actively working in Jesuit educational institutions.

John W. O’Malley, S.J. in The First Jesuits described well the basic principles of the Jesuit educational ministry that shaped Jesuit schools and universities. He did not discuss what constituted a Jesuit university because that was not the purpose of the book. After assessing the major contributi ons that O’Malley made to define the principles of Jesuit education, this article will pick up where O’Malley left off by describing the first Jesuit universities. Because Europe had different kinds of universities, the Jesuits adapted their university mission to them. They taught in four kinds of universities before 1773: the all-Jesuit university, the civic-Jesuit collegiate university, the civic-Jesuit Italian law and medicine university, and the civic university in which individual Jesuits taught but the Society had no institutional role. The First Jesuits of John W. O’Malley is a broad study of the first twenty-five years of the Society of Jesus. The book focuses on the development of Jesuit ministries, Jesuit culture, and their “way of p roceeding.” Indeed, the title of the manuscript that he submitted to Harvard University Press carried the title The First Jesuits: Their Ministries, Their Culture, and Their Way of Proceeding, 1540-1565 . But the press shortened it to The First Jesuits . 1 Even though the original title was long, the press should have kept it, because it exactly describes the book. It explains the principles and actions by which the first Jesuits defined and formed the Society.
John W. O 'Malley, S.J.在《第一耶稣会士》中很好地描述了耶稣会教育的基本原则,这些原则塑造了耶稣会学校和大学。他没有讨论什么是耶稣会大学,因为那不是这本书的目的。在评估了奥马利在定义耶稣会教育原则方面的主要贡献之后,本文将继续奥马利的工作,描述第一所耶稣会大学。因为欧洲有不同类型的大学,耶稣会士调整了他们的大学使命来适应这些大学。在1773年之前,他们在四种大学任教:全耶稣会大学,公民耶稣会大学,公民耶稣会意大利法律和医学大学,以及公民大学,每个耶稣会士授课,但社团没有机构作用。约翰·奥马利的第一耶稣会士是一个广泛的研究前二十五年的社会耶稣。这本书的重点是耶稣会事工的发展,耶稣会文化,以及他们的“前进之路”。事实上,他提交给哈佛大学出版社的手稿的标题是《第一批耶稣会士:他们的事工、文化和行事方式,1540-1565》。但媒体把它缩短为第一耶稣会士。虽然原书名很长,但出版社应该保留它,因为它准确地描述了这本书。它解释了第一批耶稣会士定义和形成社会的原则和行动。
