Johannes Tschandek
Johannes Tschandek ( sl, Janez Čandek or ''Janez Čandik'', also attested under several other names, 1581 – October 8, 1624) was a Carniolan priest, Jesuit, and religious writer. Tschandek was born in Višnja Gora and attended school in Ljubljana. He became a Jesuit in 1600 and taught at the Jesuit lyceum in Ljubljana. In 1610 he relocated to Graz, where he studied theology until 1612. After completing his studies, he primarily worked in Klagenfurt, Graz, and Ljubljana. Although Lutheranism had mostly been eradicated among the Slovenes by Tschandek's time, the publications created by the Slovene Protestants had nonetheless left an awareness of the need to instruct people in their vernacular language. The most important religious figure of this era in Slovenian territory was the bishop of Ljubljana, Thomas Chrön. As bishop, he participated in destroying Protestant publications, razing their churches, and expelling Protestants, as well as having their corpses exhumed. Chr ...

Carniola ( sl, Kranjska; , german: Krain; it, Carniola; hu, Krajna) is a historical region that comprised parts of present-day Slovenia.

In 1991, 47% of the population of Slovenia lived within the borders of the former Duchy of Carniola.

Peter Canisius
Peter Canisius ( nl, Pieter Kanis; 8 May 1521 – 21 December 1597) was a Dutch Jesuit Catholic priest. He became known for his strong support for the Catholic faith during the Protestant Reformation in Germany, Austria, Bohemia, Moravia, Switzerland and the British Isles. The restoration of the Catholic Church in Germany after the Protestant Reformation is largely attributed to the work there of the Society of Jesus, which he led. He is venerated in the Catholic Church as a saint and as a Doctor of the Church. Life He was born in 1521 in Nijmegen in the Duchy of Guelders, which, until 1549, was part of the Habsburg Netherlands within the Holy Roman Empire and is now the Netherlands. His father was a wealthy burgermeister, Jacob Kanis. His mother, Ægidia van Houweningen, died shortly after Peter's birth. He was sent to study at the University of Cologne, where he earned a master's degree in 1540, at the age of 19. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
