Michael Anton Paintner
Michael Anton Paintner (Hungarian: Paintner Mihály Antal ; born September 6, 1753 in Ödenburg , † September 22, 1826 in Raab ) was a Jesuit and later Grand Provost of Raab and titular bishop of Novi .
Life
On October 17, 1769 he entered the Jesuit order in Trenčín . After the two year novitiate he studied classical languages in Leoben and from 1772 philosophy at the University of Graz . After the dissolution of the order in 1773 he studied theology and became a secular priest . In addition to his studies, he was an educator for Count Grassalkovich and a teacher at the Vienna Theresianum . From 1774 to 1775 he was a high school professor in Güns . On March 29, 1777 he was ordained a priest, in 1785 provost of Neustift , then grand provost of Raab and general director of the grammar schools in Raab county .
Paintner became royal Hungarian titular bishop of Novi on September 27, 1816 ( Latin : electus episcopus Noviensis , Hungarian : novii czímzetes püspök ) and in 1822 royal Hungarian court trainee.
Paintner was an intimate friend of Nikolaus Révai , a member of the Jena Mineralogical Society, and had extensive correspondence.
All his life he collected everything related to the history of the Jesuit order and wanted to compose a lexicon of Jesuit writers. He bequeathed his large library, the collected documents and all his correspondence to the Benedictine Abbey of Pannonhalma on the condition that they be given to the Jesuits when the order was to be resurrected in Hungary. The will was declared invalid due to “legal errors”. Finally, in 1830, the Abbot of Pannonhalma bought the collection.
