In more recent times, there have been studies on individual Jesuits from the early period of the Society. The most monumental of these is Georg Schurhammer's, Francis Xavier: His Life, His Times, a four volume work published in Rome in 1973 and again in 1982. The introduction of the first volume is a masterful summary of the early life of the early Jesuits and well worth any time given to it.
