Overview

In this volume, the author completes his study of the period of the Counter-Reformation between the years 1537-1622. On the basis of the original documents he reveals the underground work of the agents of the Counter-Reformation in their attempt to entice eligible students from the far North to study at Jesuit colleges in Dorpat, Vilna, Braunsberg, Prague, Graz and Rome at the expense of the Holy See with a view to infiltrating them into the body politic of Scandinavian kingdoms at all levels of society, such as Church, school and state bureaucracy. In his analysis, the author tries to identify the students involved and trace their degree of success.

' The author's analysis of the social background of students are extraordinarily interesting...the book also represents an essential contribution to the history of academic peregrination in general.
