Uncover the enigmatic history of Monita privata, a provocative anti-Jesuit text that captivated early modern Europe and fueled centuries of controversy. This new critical edition reexamines the origins, authorship, and geopolitical significance of the text, challenging the traditional attribution to Hieronim Zahorowski and suggesting a broader anti-Jesuit campaign originating in Venetian circles. Through rigorous analysis and newly included Polish translations, this edition situates Monita privata as a key artifact in the polemics of its time, offering fresh perspectives on Jesuit influence and propaganda. Rich with scholarly insights, this edition is indispensable for anyone exploring early modern religious and political history.
