Sažetak
The Constitutions have their beginning and their evolution. Their origin lies between 1539 when St. Ignatius of Loyola and his companions began setting them down in writing and 1556 when all of their constituent parts were completed. From that time onward they have been developing throughout the new editions, the translations into many languages, and the comments.
At the beginning the Constitutions were compiled and written according to the spiritual experience of St. Ignatius and his companions. Although the experiences of ancient Orders were also taken into account, the Constitu-tions essentially differ from them. In their structure and contents they are unique in the history of religious orders.
The manuscript of the Constitutions was written and proclaimed before the death of their author, St. Ignatius, on July 31st, 1588. They became the official text of the Society of Jesus who has kept and guarded them as their greatest treasure. Lately, the Society has been increasingly paying attention to the Constitutions into many languages. They have been translated into Croatian as well and will be published in the near future.
