The Liè̀ge Jesuit manuscript text collection, circa 1660-1730.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/173220570

The Liège Jesuit Manuscript Collection consists of forty-three manuscript texts bound in fifteen volumes, devoted, with the exception of a treatise on horography, to standard Catholic theological topics. Considerable circumstantial and internal evidence indicates that these volumes represent the theological course of instruction at the English Jesuit college at Liège between the years 1660 and 1730, the period when the earliest Jesuit missionaries to Maryland took their training there. All of the identified authors taught at Liège, most during the early eighteenth century. The Jesuit authors represented are James Gooden (1670-1730), John Musson (1680-1755), Thomas Parker, John Persall (1633-1702), Richard Plowden, William Preston (1637-1702), Francis Sanders (1648-1710), Edward Slaughter (1655-1729), Richard Vaughan (1675-1727), Joseph Wakeman (1647-1720) and Francis Williams (ca. 1622-1681). The printed texts found in vol. 3 of the collection were printed by Guillaume Henry Streel at Liège.

The English College at Liège was one of a number of schools established by the Society of Jesus on the European continent for the education of Roman Catholics who had fled Britain as the result of persecution there.

By 1626 the novitiate had moved on, but the Jesuit "scholastics" remained at Liège until the suppress...
