Ludwig Debiel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig Debiel SJ (also Louis Debiel , Ludovicus Debiel , Ludwig De Biel ; born September 20, 1697 in Vienna , † November 9, 1771 in Graz ) was an Austrian Jesuit and theologian .

Live and act

Ludwig Debiel entered the Jesuit order in 1717 and taught at a grammar school from 1719 to 1723. His dissertation Metamorphoses Styriae , defended by Willibald Krieger (1685–1769), appeared in 1722 , in which he describes the emergence of localities in Styria in almost 2,600 hexameters , and was awarded a doctorate in philosophy and theology. At the University of Vienna he taught Hebrew in 1729/1730 and physics in 1732/1733.

From 1734 he belonged to the theological faculty of the University of Vienna. In 1733/1734 he was professor of controversial theology , 1737 for moral theology and 1740/1741 for speculative theology. In 1740 he was dean of the faculty.

During this time he worked on editions of the Bible . In 1740 he published the Greek text of the New Testament with Latin interlinear translation in two volumes. The Hebrew text of the Old Testament with Latin interlinear translation and the addition of the texts of the Vulgate Sistine in four volumes followed from 1743 to 1747 . This work encountered particular difficulties, as there was no printer in Vienna who could speak Hebrew and had the appropriate types . The types had to be brought in from abroad and the typesetters trained accordingly. In 1744 he received a grant from the university of 1200 guilders for this work .

Debiel was two years assistant ("Socius") of Matthias Pock , who in 1744 became Provincial of the Austrian Jesuits. For a while Debiel enjoyed the special trust of Maria Theresa . She used his advice in founding the Theresianum , whose first rector he became in 1746 with an annual sum of 4,000 guilders. After two years he was replaced and was rector at the Jesuit College in Linz from 1748 to 1751 . Matthias Pock became the third rector of the Theresianum in 1755.

From 1752 he worked again at the University of Vienna. He worked on a new study regulation, which was promoted by Archbishop Johann Joseph von Trautson , who was also study protector of theological and philosophical sciences, and which was later adopted for the universities of Prague, Graz, Innsbruck, Olomouc and Freiburg. The later Archbishop of Vienna Christoph Anton von Migazzi was also a collaborator . The reform was approved by Maria Theresa on June 25, 1752.

In 1752 Debiel was appointed dean and appointed director of studies ("Generalis studii praefectus") of the theological faculty. In this function he was a member of the “ Konsistoriums ordinarium” and received all the rights and privileges of the “proceres” (ie the rector, the chancellor and the imperial superintendent). After a court decree issued at the instigation of Christoph Anton von Migazzi, he was dismissed as director of studies in 1779 because "the work of the Jesuits at the university was increasingly hostile to the opponents of the church." His successor was Simon von Stock .

In 1754, Maria Theresia handed over the building of the former law school in Grünangergasse to Debiel, who was supposed to build a penitentiary there for the conversion of repentant sinners. In 1758 the institution was closed again because it “did not have the desired progress”. In 1760 Debiel became professor of the Hebrew language and chancellor of the University of Graz .

Debiel was the patron and benefactor of the Jansenist Marcus Anton Wittola (1736–1797). Antal Révay (1718–1783), the later bishop of Rožňava (1776–1780) and of Nitra (1780–1783), defended his dissertation Assertiones Theologicae De Jure, & Justitia quas Authoritate et Consensu under Ludwig Debiel in 1741 . Debiel had a particularly close collaboration with Erasmus Fröhlich , who was head of the numismatic cabinet at the time of his directorate at the Theresianum. At the suggestion and under the guidance of Debiel, Fröhlich wrote his work Utilitas rei numariae veteris . Together they published a numismatic work by Jean Foy-Vaillant (1632–1706). Other writings are partly attributed to Debiel, partly Fröhlich or published under the other name. In some sources, Ludwig Debiel is therefore given as a pseudonym for Erasmus Fröhlich .

Ludwig Debiel died on November 9th, 1771 in Graz and was buried on November 11th.
