NIEREMBERG, JUAN EUSEBIO (15951658)

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 672 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NIEREMBERG, JUAN EUSEBIO (15951658) , Spanish Jesuit and mystic, was born at Madrid in 1595, joined the Society of Jesus in 1614, and subsequently became lecturer on Scripture at the Jesuit
seminary
  in Madrid, where he died on the 7th of
April
  1658. He was highly esteemed in devout circles as the author of De la aficiOn y amor de Jesus (163o), and De la aficiOn y amor de Maria (163o), both of which were translated into Arabic, Flemish,
French
 ,
German
 , Italian and Latin. These works, together with the Prodigios del amor divino (1641), are now forgotten, but
Nieremberg
 's version (1656) of the Imitation is still a favourite, and his eloquent treatise, De la hermosura de Dios y su amabilidad (1649), is the last classical manifestation of
mysticism
  in Spanish literature.
Nieremberg
  has not the enraptured vision of St
Theresa
 , nor the philosophic significance of Luis de Leon, and the unvarying sweetness of his
style
  is cloying; but he has exaltation, unction, insight, and his
book
  forms no unworthy close to a
great
  literary tradition.
