Journal Article
FROM GOA TO GLOBAL: DEVOTIONAL IMAGES AND THE CULT OF FRANCIS XAVIER IN THE SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY WORLD
2023
Overview
Not long after the order received papal confirmation in 1540, Xavier left Rome for Lisbon at the behest of King John 111, who wanted the Society to evangelize his Asian domains. Measuring 50 by 100 Roman feet (148 by 296 metres), the elaborate, yet temporary octagonal structure featured pyramids, Ionic columns, and a myriad of sculptures. [...]the calls to pursue the canonization of the two formative Jesuits in 1594 and 1608 prompted the production of cultic images, which commemorated and promulgated the renown of Xavier as an affiliate of Ignatius, an exemplary missionary, and a saintly man.11 These representations satished the need for Jesuit models and for the pursuit of the canonization of Xavier, which often overlapped with the cause for the founder Ignatius. While the field has emphasized the Lusophone world, scholars working on Xavier have become myopic and unable to look past certain aspects of the cult and iconography, including the tomb of the missionary in Goa, his relics, and the 1619 cycle of his life at the Professed House in Lisbon by André Reinoso13.
