• W4226369545 abstract "Reviewed by: The Education of a Historian: A Strange and Wonderful Story by John W. O'Malley S.J. Nelson H. Minnich The Education of a Historian: A Strange and Wonderful Story. By John W. O'Malley, S.J. (Philadelphia: Saint Joseph's University Press. 2021. Pp. v, 192. $30.00. ISBN 978-0-916101-12-1.) The title of the book is apt—this is the story of how a young man of modest background from a small town in Ohio achieved international eminence as a historian of the religious culture of modern Europe (p. 2). It is a tale told by a master storyteller gifted with a remarkable memory, high intelligence (small fraction of the top one percent), disciplined work habits (product of his Jesuit training), restless curiosity, and charming wit. The story straddles the categories of memoir and an apologia for the study of history. Only the briefest hints are given of the author's spirituality: a disciple of Saints Augustine and Ignatius Loyola and of Erasmus of Rotterdam, fidelity to the practice of meditation, concern for others, and a trust in divine providence. O'Malley's formal education began in the public schools of Tiltonsville, a small Ohio-River town of about 2,300. It continued briefly at John Carroll University where he learned Latin in preparation for entering the Jesuit novitiate at Milford, Ohio, and then followed the lengthy training at Milford (affiliated with Xavier University) and West Baden College in rural Indiana (a division of Loyola University of Chicago). In the novitiate he came under the influence of Father William Young, who studied the early history of the Jesuits, and at West Baden that of Father Charles Metzger, an Americanist. His theology professors, Fathers William LeSaint (patristics) and John L. McKenzie (Old Testament), were in effect historians. Instead of pursuing American history, O'Malley decided to follow his true interest in the Reformation era but wound up in Renaissance history due to a trip to Italy where he admired its people, their culture, and gelato. His formal training in Renaissance history was at Harvard University where he survived Heiko Oberman and had as his mentor Myron Gilmore, who became a dear friend. He gave him the topic of his dissertation: Giles of Viterbo, the noted humanist, general of the Augustinian friars, and cardinal, and helped to secure for him fellowships at the American Academy in Rome and at Villa I Tatti in Florence. O'Malley's informal education as a historian came from multiple sources. From his youth he was a voracious reader of library books and magazines, studying the history of the music he practiced on the piano, of French kings, and of foreign lands. When in Italy he loved to visit museums and examine carefully their works of art. At the American Academy and Villa I Tatti he engaged in conversations [End Page 198] with art historians and conservators. He had a remarkable knack for making friends and meeting important persons: Hubert Jedin, Augustin Bea, Carlo Maria Martini, Pedro Arrupe, Paul Oskar Kristeller, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, John Shearman, the list goes on and on. He found himself present at major events: the 1963 international conference on the Council of Trent, the announcement of the election of the Jesuit general Pedro Arrupe, public sessions of Vatican Council II, the aftermath of the Arno flood in 1966, Jesuit general congregations (1965, 1974), the canonization inquest for Arrupe (2019), and innumerable major academic conferences where he conversed with other scholars. He was invited to join organizing committees and editorial teams of significant academic projects—the Collected Works of Erasmus, conferences on Raphael and Michelangelo—and he co-founded conferences on Jesuit history. Fellow scholars and editors encouraged him to explore new themes: rhetorical style (Kristeller and Helen North), the writings of Erasmus (James McConica and Ronald Schoeffel), the Counter-Reformation (Steven Ozment), the meaning of the Jesuits' fourth vow (fellow Jesuits), the history of the papacy (Michael Bloom), the four cultures of the West (Lindsay Waters), the Council of Trent (David Collins), and so on. At times initially reluctant, he threw himself into the projects and learned from them. In many ways, O'Malley was..." @default.
