Bible translation by Ignaz Weitenauer, 1783
Carmina Selecta, 1757

Ignaz von Weitenauer SJ (born November 1, 1709 in Ingolstadt ; † February 4, 1783 Salomonsweiler ) was a Bavarian-Austrian Jesuit , orientalist and professor at the University of Innsbruck . He created a Bible lexicon , made a German translation of the Bible with annotations and wrote a language-critical script with which he participated in the late Baroque language dispute between the Upper German written language and New High German .

Life

Weitenauer joined the Society of Jesus (Jesuit order) on November 3, 1724 . After completing his studies, he was employed as a teacher of poetry and rhetoric and taught for 14 years in various grammar schools of the order, for example in Ingolstadt and Eichstätt. In 1753 he became a professor of Greek and Hebrew at the University of Innsbruck. There he wrote an encyclopedia for the translation of the Bible from Latin, Greek and Hebrew, which appeared in Augsburg and Freiburg im Breisgau in 1758 and was also widely used in Italy and France. His linguistic criticism, Zweifel von der Deutschen Sprache , was written in 1764 and analyzed individual grammatical and vocabulary problems when translating foreign-language works. He represented the position of the Catholic clergy from the southern German-Austrian area and opposed the linguistic purist efforts of the Protestant scholars in the north, especially against the anomalist Johann Christoph Gottsched in Leipzig. Four more editions of this book appeared by 1778. In 1768 Weitenauer published an anthology of poetry and prose by various German poets, which was published by Ignaz Wagner in Augsburg, as it were, as a summary of his teaching activities.

After the abolition of the Jesuit order in 1773 and thus its ousting from the universities, he retired to the Cistercian monastery Salem on Lake Constance. There he worked on a new translation of the Old and New Testaments with annotations and translation tips, which appeared from 1782 to 1783 in a total of 12 volumes at the Joseph Wolffische Buchhandlung in Augsburg. In the same year he died at the age of 73.

In addition to his philological and biblical works, von Weitenauer has received poems as well as songs and plays in Latin that are entirely in the baroque tradition of Jesuit theater and were printed in 1757 under the title Carmina Selecta .
