Purchase made possible by The Professor Emile V. Telle Acquisitions Fund. From dealer's description: "Bruxellae, typis Joannis Mommarti. 1631. 4to (15.5 x 20.5cm) 10, [2, blank] pp., uncut & unbound as issued, very good. The printed text of this papal bull issued in 1631 by Pope Urban VIII (1568-1644) suppressed the activities of the unconfined female Roman Catholic religious orders that, modelled on the Jesuits, had spread through continental Europe headed by the efforts of the English Roman Catholic nun Mary Ward (1585-1645). Yorkshire-born into a staunch recusant family,Ward’s extraordinary spiritual trajectory began with her departure from England in May 1606, intending to join one of the Roman Catholic contemplative orders in Flanders. After involvement in the establishment of a new Poor Clare convent for Englishwomen in Gravelines in 1608 she began to receive a series of mystical visions which precipitated her founding of a new female Roman Catholic institute modelled on the Society of Jesus. Known as the “English Ladies”, the group expanded, establishing schools and religious houses across continental Europe, and operating a £650 clandestine female mission in England. The considerable opposition the institute attracted from within the Roman Catholic hierarchy itself can be attributed in part to the challenge posed by the innovation of empow- ering women in holding active missionary and educational roles. This Brussels edition must have followed immediately that printed in Rome – both are scarce. An English edition was published as: The suppressing of the assembly of the pretended shee-Iesuites ... (London, 1631)." Ordered from Samuel Gedge D9306, 2019-05-29, Cat. 28 #85.
