Balthasar Loyola Mandes (1630-1667) was a Moroccan prince who converted to Catholicism and in 1657 became a Jesuit. The Historical Archives of the Pontifical Gregorian University holds some of his manuscripts containing letters and devotional works (description in MANUS On Line: [https://manus.iccu.sbn.it//opac_SchedaScheda.php?ID=223933 APUG 1060]), which will be published in this collection.

E’ stato possibile procedere con la trascrizione e annotazione semantica di alcuni documenti disponibili anche con l’immagine digitale sulla piattaforma GATE (Gregorian Archives Texts Editing). Al Fondo Loyola Mandes (segnatura APUG 1060 I-IV) corrisponde un corpus documentario di lettere (oltre 300) e documenti tra cui una autobiografia di Baldassarre Loyola Mandes. L’epistolario e i codici sono redatti principalmente in italiano ma vi sono alcuni documenti in latino e in arabo. Attualmente del fondo è possibile visionare il documento digitalizzato e trascritto corrispondente alla segnatura APUG 1060 IV relativa ad un piccolo codice di 50 carte indicato nel catalogo come autografo di P. Loyola Mandes. Il documento è stato trascritto secondo criteri diplomatici attraverso l’inserimento di alcuni tag TEI per evidenziare fenomeni testuali quali abbreviazioni, lacune testuali o materiali, testo sovrascritto, testo incomprensibile etc.
 +
 
 +
Il testo trascritto è stato poi normalizzato attraverso lo scioglimento delle abbreviazioni e la modernizzazione dei termini (es. doppo —> dopo) per consentire una lettura più scorrevole e una ricerca per parole chiave. Il testo così prodotto viene corredato di annotazioni semantiche relative ad entità quali nomi, luoghi, opere e strumenti citati che, grazie all’apertura di una pagina di approfondimento, consentiranno di approfondire la ricerca con un grado di dettaglio sempre più fine.

Infine il progetto prevede la realizzazione di una bibliografia ragionata, corredata di  concetti chiave (key concept), per stabilire poi possibili keywords, e di schede di lettura in modo che, definito lo status quaestionis, si possano problematizzare questioni, e tracciare la mappa dei concetti fondamentali e i loro mutamenti nel tempo.

Introduction

The Gregorian Centre for Interreligious Studies in cooperation with the Historical Archives of the Pontifical Gregorian University (APUG)started a project to enhance the unpublished writings of Baldassarre Loyola Mandes S.J. (1631-1667).[1] Son of the king of Fez (Marocco), Muley Mohammed el-Attaz a Muslim prince converted to Christianity, after he was capture by the Knights of Malta, while he was travelling to Mecca for pilgrimage. He took the name of Baldassarre Loyola Mandes to honor both the day of his baptism (July 31, 1656, feast of Saint Ignatius of Loyola) and the knight who made him prisoner and who was his godfather (Balthasar Mandols). A few years later, the 11th General Congregation of the Society of Jesus, gathered in Rome, authorized his admission to the novitiate at Saint Andrew at the Quirinal (1661). Desiring to leave on a mission to the empire of the Great Moghul, he died in Madrid at the beginning of his journey. His life, well known in the first Society, was staged by Pedro Calderón de la Barca and it was played in all the Jesuit colleges. Baldassarre was the only former Muslim admitted to the Society of Jesus until the abolition in 1946 of the decree of the 5th General Congregation (1594), which forbade the admission of net-converts.
