Pierre Favre (1506-1546).
Pierre Favre (1506-1546) was one of the first of Ignatius of Loyola's companions and the first Jesuit ordained priests. He the is author of a famous Memoriale, a spiritual text first published in 1873, one year after his beatification by pope Pius IX.[1]

During the 20th century, many editions and translations of the Memoriale were published.[2] Most of these publications have been based on the critical edition of the text published within the Monumenta Historica Societatis Iesu in 1914.[3] Since that year, other manuscripts containing the Memoriale have been discovered. A more recent survey of them was done by Michel de Certeau, who in 1960 recorded 15 manuscripts of the Memoriale and for the first time tried to build a stemma codicum.[4]

In 2018, more than 50 years after the de Certeau's work, a previously unknown manuscript of the Memoriale was discovered in the Historical Archives of the Pontifical Gregorian University (shelf-number FC 1042). This manuscript seems to be a very old testimony of the Memoriale and, above all, is one of the few manuscripts containing the whole text.

With the Pierre Favre collection, our aim is to produce a digital edition of the manuscript FC 1042. A digital reproduction of the manuscript has been made and uploaded to GATE: it is available at this link.

A full transcription of the manuscript is available: the text has been collated with the canonical one - published in 1914 in the Monumenta Historica Societatis Iesu - in order to highlight all the variants. During this work, a critical commentary was added to the transcription.
This project is also intended as a chance to create a permanent Pierre Favre 'workshop', to gain a deeper insight into his works and time. For this reason, we have also set up a Pierre Favre bibliography, where all the publications about him will be recorded: the bibliography will become the starting point for any future research about Favre and his Memoriale.
