Language and Culture of the Jesuit “Early Modernity” in India during the Sixteenth Century
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 January 2010
Extract
What I call the Jesuit “early modernity” is more or less an adapted translation of a concept recently used in France by historians of science who work on Jesuit materials. They call it in French “la première moderne” or “the first modernity” in order to talk about the precocious scientific interests generated within the Jesuit networks of knowledge. The “early” modernity should be taken here as an extension of the French concept in order to encompass a variety of innovative social and cultural practice.
