Pierre Favre (1506-1546).

Pierre Favre (1506-1546) was one of the first Ignatius of Loyola's companions and the first Jesuit ordered priest. He is author of a famous Memoriale, a spiritual text firstly published in 1873, one year after his beatification by pope Pio IX.

During the 20th century many editions and translations of the Memoriale have been published.[1] Most of these publications have been based on the critical edition of the text published within the Monumenta Historica Societatis Iesu in 1914. Anyway 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.

In 2018, more than 50 years after the de Certeau's work, an unknown manuscript of the Memoriale has been discovered in the Historical Archives of the Pontifical Gregorian University (shelf-number FC 1042).

M. de Certeau Memoriale stemma codicum.

The Memoriale project aims to produce a digital edition of the manuscript FC 1042. To do this, a digital reproduction of the manuscript has been made and uploaded to GATE: it is available at this link. The next step is to produce a full transcription of this manuscript, in order to collate it with the canonical text of Favre's work, published in 1914 within the Monumenta Historica Societatis Iesu. The variants will be highlighted and in the meanwhile a critical comment will also be added to the transcription.
