NIEREMBERG, JUAN EUSEBIO (1595–1658) , See also:Spanish Jesuit and mystic, was See also:born at See also:Madrid in 1595, joined the Society of Jesus in 1614, and subsequently became lecturer on Scripture at the Jesuit See also:seminary in Madrid, where he died on the 7th of See also: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, See also:French, See also:German, See also:Italian and Latin. These See also:works, together with the Prodigios del amor divino (1641), are now forgotten, but Nieremberg's version (1656) of the See also:Imitation is still a favourite, and his eloquent See also:treatise, De la hermosura de Dios y su amabilidad (1649), is the last classical manifestation of See also:mysticism in Spanish literature. Nieremberg has not the enraptured See also:vision of St See also:Theresa, nor the philosophic significance of Luis de See also:Leon, and the unvarying sweetness of his See also:style is cloying; but he has exaltation, See also:unction, insight, and his See also:book forms no unworthy See also:close to a See also:great See also:literary tradition.
