Life

Ignaz Greiner devoted himself to the clergy and entered the Jesuit order at the age of 18 , in whose college he completed his preparatory studies. After 1720 filed his vow, he taught in the school of his order in Vienna , the rhetoric and knew one after the place of a preacher in Bratislava , Passau , Steyr and Krems. He then became director of a congregation in Vienna and later rector of the professorship in Neusohl . Most recently he stayed as a pastor in the Kollegiathaus in Graz, where he died on August 7, 1755 at the age of 56.

His description of the Viennese court library contains some useful historical and literary remarks , which appeared under the somewhat graceful title Bibliothecae veterum deperditae in Caesarea Viennensi instauratae (2 parts, Vienna 1729) and in its first part the old libraries - including the Athenian, the Attalic and the Alexandrian library as well as other less famous - but in the second part the imperial one in Vienna is discussed. His laudation funebris Benedicti XIII offers little material on the history of the popes . Pont. Opt. Max. (Vienna 1730), because it is too panegyric and takes too little consideration of its relationship to the circumstances of the time. His ascetic attempt at a three-day spiritual meeting (Krems, no year) corresponds entirely to the religious direction of that time.
