This essay investigates the role played by the Society of Jesus in school teaching and pedagogical thought after its suppression in 1773, with a view to achieving a better understanding of their cultural and religious strategies. The focus is on French Jesuits, expelled from Louis XV’s kingdom between 1762 and 1767, and on their continuing activities as teachers in French colleges and as authors of pedagogical treatises and school textbooks. After the demise of the Order, they placed their special skills at the disposal of schools of all kinds and met with a wide appreciation, which goes far to explain their resurrection in 1814.

Keywords: Jesuits; pedagogy; school handbooks; suppression; restoration.
