He was already famous by the time of his celebrated 1769 expedition for the observation of the transit of Venus in northern Scandinavia. However, the 1773 suppression of his order forced Hell to develop ingenious strategies of accommodation to changing international and domestic circumstances. Through a study of his career in local, regional, imperial, and global contexts, this book sheds new light on the complex relationship between the Enlightenment, Catholicism, administrative and academic reform in the Habsburg monarchy, and the practices and ends of cultivating science in the Republic of Letters around the end of the first era of the Society of Jesus. 410 0$aJesuit Studies ;$v27. 606 $aEducation 606 $aReligion and science 607 $aVardř (Norway)$xDescription and travel 610 $aHistory of science 615 0$aEducation. 615 0$aReligion and science. 676 $a271.53 700 $aAspaas$b Per Pippin$0940919 702 $aKontler$b László 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404256103321 996 $aMaximilian Hell (1720?92) and the Ends of Jesuit Science in Enlightenment Europe$92121804 997 $aUNINA
