Ignatius of Loyola was one of the key figures of the Catholic church, honored in 1609 with a collection of images celebrating his life and work. "Constructing a Saint Through Images: The 1609 Illustrated Biography of Ignatius of Loyola" Shown here for American readers is the illustrated biography of man fully translated and explained for English speakers. Each image contains the original image in black and white, as the opposite page translates the words of the image to grant understanding to the reader. A way of learning of a man through contemporary works, "Constructing a Saint Through Images" is highly recommended.
