Ignatius of Loyola's Spiritual Exercises (1547) can be considered as lying at the roots of the Baroque imagination, since they define for the era of the Counter-Reformation the parameters in which Catholic believers must confront the Enemy and the temporal corruption he embodies in order to enter a state of grace and obtain salvation. Through a complex interaction of different imaginative functions, Loyola's text is able to superpose a variety of simultaneous narrative levels. In order to reformulate the "greater narrative" (the Magisterium) of the Roman faith beyond what is revealed in Scripture, the Spiritual Exercises require their exercitant to become an active participant in this narrative through constant visual contact with "orders of corruption," that is, spaces in which virtue can be confronted with physical decay and sin. It is through these spaces that Counter-Reformation Rome (La Roma Ignaziana) will redefine the economy of salvation and diffuse the visual dynamics of the Spiritual Exercises throughout the Catholic world. Spanish Golden Age authors Miguel de Cervantes and Baltasar Gracian are well aware of this diffusion and use the rising Modernity of the novel to transform Loyola's notion of "orders of corruption''; they adapt it to secular reality in their writings. Their encoded criticism of Loyolan imagination contributes to the epistemological crisis that marks the Baroque age, but also prepares the way for the crucial debates that will take place during the Enlightenment (such as the deconstruction of the Catholic "greater narrative" reflected in Loyola). This dissertation therefore concludes with a discussion of the eventual negation of Loyolan imagination in the novels of the marquis de Sade. As an ex-student of the Jesuits, Sade undermines the Roman faith by parodying the Baroque forms of spiritual visual experience and negates the Loyolan projection into "orders of corruption."
