1569 1639 Asceticism Etienne Jesuit Binet
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph print showcases the enigmatic figure of Etienne Binet (1569-1639), a French Jesuit priest and prolific writer on asceticism during the Counter-Reformation era. The image captures the deep introspection and spiritual depth that defined Binet's life and work. Born in the region of Poitou in western France, Binet joined the Society of Jesus in 1589, a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe. He spent most of his life in the monasteries of Paris and Lyon, where he dedicated himself to the study of theology and the practice of asceticism. Binet's writings on asceticism, which included numerous treatises and commentaries on the works of the Desert Fathers, gained him a reputation as a leading spiritual guide for those seeking to deepen their faith and devotion. His works were widely read and translated into multiple languages, making him an influential figure in the Catholic Church and beyond. Despite his scholarly pursuits, Binet's life was not without its challenges. He faced persecution during the Wars of Religion and was forced to flee Paris during the Fronde rebellion. Through it all, he remained steadfast in his commitment to his faith and his writings, which continue to inspire and guide spiritual seekers to this day. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man who dedicated himself to the pursuit of spiritual perfection, leaving behind a rich legacy of writings that continue to resonate with readers over 400 years after his death.
