EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Juan de Mariana (1536-1624): A Scholastic Jesuit Priest, Historian, and Monarchomachs Member" This engraving depicts Juan de Mariana (1536-1624), a prominent Spanish Jesuit priest, historian, and a significant figure in the Monarchomachs movement. The image, created by J. Serra Pausas, is part of the "Historia de España" published in 1882. Born in the 16th century during the height of the Spanish Empire, Mariana was a scholar of the Scholastic tradition, which emphasized the importance of reason and logic in understanding the natural world and theology. He became a Jesuit priest and dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge, eventually earning a reputation as a prolific writer and historian. Mariana's most notable work, "De Rege et Regis Institutione," was published in 1599 and advocated for the right of rebellion against a tyrannical ruler, making him a member of the Monarchomachs, a group of scholars who believed in the divine right of rebellion against an unjust monarch. This controversial stance put him at odds with the Spanish authorities and led to his arrest and imprisonment for several years. Despite the risks, Mariana continued to write and publish, contributing significantly to Spanish literature and history. His works, which covered a wide range of topics, including politics, theology, and history, were influential in shaping the intellectual landscape of the early modern period. This beautifully colored engraving captures the essence of Mariana's intellectual and spiritual journey, showcasing his distinguished appearance and the scholarly aura that surrounded him. The image serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as a scholar, historian, and a courageous advocate for the rule of law and justice.
