Matthäus Rader
Matthäus Rader (* early 1561 in San Candido , South Tyrol, † December 22, 1634 in Munich ) was a German Jesuit , teacher and historian.
After completing his high school studies at the Jesuit grammar school in Munich , he entered the Jesuit order in 1581 and studied philosophy and theology in Augsburg and Ingolstadt. As a teacher (professor) he worked for 22 years at the Jesuit colleges in Augsburg, Dillingen and Munich. Maximilian I commissioned him in 1614 with the continuation of the work on Bavarian history ( Rerum Boicarum libri quinque ) awarded to the Augsburg city caretaker Markus Welser , but this was ultimately forbidden by the order's administration. Among other things, Rader wrote the three-volume work Bavaria sancta , an illustrated compendium of the saints of Bavaria in Latin. He was also the author of several dramas. Rader is considered one of the leading personalities of the Jesuits in Germany at the turn of the 16th to the 17th century.
