  With their universities and colleges, the Jesuits held a monopoly over higher education in Catholic Germany in the 17th and 18th centuries. Using previously untapped sources, Marcus Hellyer traces the development of science instruction at these institutions over a period stretching from the Counter-Reformation to the height of the Enlightenment.
