Historiography of the Post-Restoration Society of Jesus in Spanish America
II. Jesuit Historiography in Spanish America
General Jesuit Historiography and Spanish America
Since the mid-nineteenth century, histories of the Society of Jesus began to include background information on the order’s restoration in Spanish America. Lay scholar Jacques Cretineau-Joly (1803–75) played a leading role in this trend. His six-volume Histoire religieuse, politique et littéraire de la Compagnie de Jésus was published in Paris and Lyon from 1844 to 1846 and was a triumph from the moment it was released.33 It saw various editions and was translated into at least nine European languages. Chapter 6 of volume 6 dedicates a special section to Spanish America, covering the arrival of the Jesuits in Mexico and their proscription by General Antonio López de Santa Anna (1794–1876, eleven-time president of Mexico). Cretineau-Joly also comments on Argentina’s request for Jesuits to establish schools and their later difficulties with Buenos Aires’ governor Juan Manuel de Rosas (1793–1877), their partial expulsion from that province in 1843, and their consequent migration to Chile, Brazil, and New Granada.34

Niccolò Machiavelli
Florentine statesman, diplomat, and political theorist (1469–1527)
For other uses, see Machiavelli (disambiguation) and Macchiavelli (surname).
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli[a] (3 May 1469 – 21 June 1527) was a Florentine[4][5] diplomat, author, philosopher, and historian who lived during the Italian Renaissance. He is best known for his political treatise The Prince (Il Principe), written around 1513 but not published until 1532, five years after his death.[6] He has often been called the father of modern political philosophy and political science.[7]
For many years he served as a senior official in the Florentine Republic with responsibilities in diplomatic and military affairs. He wrote comedies, carnival songs, and poetry. His personal correspondence is also important to historians and scholars of Italian correspondence.[8] He worked as secretary to the second chancery of the Republic of Florence from 1498 to 1512, when the Medici were out of power.
After his death Machiavelli's name came to evoke unscrupulous acts of the sort he advised most famously in his work, The Prince.[9] He claimed that his experience and reading of history showed him that politics has al
