First published under the pseudonym Lucius Cornelius Europeus, this satire exposes the vices of the Order. For a long time attributed to the Jesuit, Melchior Inchofer (1585-1648), it is now generally thought to be by Giulio Clemente Scotti, a disaffected Jesuit said to have been unfairly overlooked for the post of professor of Theology by his superiors. The work attacks the corruption, lies and calumny perceived at the heart of the order as well as criticising the worldly strategy of appointing only young men from wealthy families in order to benefit the society in the long term. It is preceded by an introduction which provides details on Melchior Inchofer and the political background of the satire. The Jesuits searched everywhere for this book in order to suppress it. The translation and the prefatory remarks are by Pierre Restaut (1696-1764). Relatively well held in Continental Europe, OCLC lists no copies in the UK and only Columbia in America.
