abstract

Pedagogy of Virtues? “Holy Court” and “Christian Emperor” in the Habsburg Monarchy. The aim of this study is to examine the notion of ruler’s virtues, as it was understood in the Habsburg Empire of the 17th and 18th century. It draws on the writings of Jesuit authors Wilhelm Lamormaini Ferdinandi II imperatoris romanorum virtutes (1638) and Nicolas Caussin Cour Sainte. The latter book was simultaneously translated by Wilhelm’s brother Henri Lamormaini. The author analyses the contents of the books, follows the circumstances surrounding their publication, re-editions, and use within Jesuit pedagogical activities.
