The college was the headquarters of the Jesuits in Germany, and became a center of the Counter-Reformation. Many of its members taught at the University of Ingolstadt. Early years The University of Ingolstadt was founded in 1472 by Louis IX, Duke of Bavaria (1417–79). William IV, Duke of Bavaria, (1493–1550) arranged with Ignatius of Loyola for three Jesuits to lecture at the University in 1549. They were Alfonso Salmerón (1515–85) of Spain, Claude Le Jay (c. 1504–52) of Savoy and Peter Canisius (1521–97) of the Netherlands. Canisius was elected first dean and then rector of the theological faculty, and from 1551–52 was vice-chancellor. However, by February 1552 the three Jesuits had moved on to new assignments. In 1555 Peter Canisius agr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mater Ter Admirabilis
, literally "Mother thrice admirable", is a Marian title in Latin given to a miraculous copy of the ''Salus Populi Romani'' icon, enshrined at the Münster Zur SchönenUnsere Lieben Frau in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany.

Saint Luke
Luke the Evangelist (Latin: '' Lucas''; grc, Λουκᾶς, '' Loukâs''; he, לוקאס, ''Lūqās''; arc, /ܠܘܩܐ לוקא, ''Lūqā’; Ge'ez: ሉቃስ'') is one of the Four Evangelists—the four traditionally ascribed authors of the canonical gospels. The Early Church Fathers ascribed to him authorship of both the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. Prominent figures in early Christianity such as Jerome and Eusebius later reaffirmed his authorship, although a lack of conclusive evidence as to the identity of the author of the works has led to discussion in scholarly circles, both secular and religious. The New Testament mentions Luke briefly a few times, and the Epistle to the Colossians refers to him as a physician (from Greek for 'one who heals'); thus he is thought to have been both a physician and a disciple of Paul. Since the early years of the faith, Christians have regarded him as a saint. He is believed to have been a martyr, reportedly having bee ...
