Pál Ányos
Pál Ányos (* December 1756 in Esztergár as István Ányos ; † September 5 or 7, 1784 there ) was a Hungarian poet .
Life
István Ányos came from a noble family . He was trained in Győr and Pápa . In 1772 he joined the Pauline Order, for which he took the name Pál (Paul). From the following year he studied at the University of Tyrnau , where he received his doctorate in philosophy in 1776 . During this time he read the works of Georg Bessenyei von Bessenye and Alexander von Baróczy as well as Ovid , which he later translated, Virgil , Horaz and Lucan .
From 1777 Ányos studied theology in Ofen and was then sent to the Felsö-Elefánt monastery in Nitra . There he lived very lonely; Cut off from the outside world, but his brothers did not get along with him. He said it was a wrong choice to go to the monastery. To overcome the grief, he began to write poetry. He is thus considered to be the first wistful poet in Hungary.
In 1782 Ányos was called to Székesfehérvár to teach there at a grammar school. The swampy climate prevailing in the area increasingly worsened his already poor health. Therefore he died in September 1784 in his homeland Esztergár at the age of only 28 years.
Works
Ányos wrote some Hungarian poems. Some were published between 1778 and 1783. Ignaz von Nagy , Bishop of Székesfehérvár, collected Ányos' poems. He published these after his death in the collective work Odas sacras . János Batsányi collected Ányos' manuscripts and published them in Vienna in 1798 as Ányos Pál Munkáji (the works of Pál Ányos). This collection includes Ányos' epistles , elegies and other songs.
Constant von Wurzbach described Ányos' poems as sentimental. He wrote in the Trans-Danubian dialect of the Hungarian language, which Wurzbach described as rather poor-sounding. Nevertheless, according to Wurzbach, Ányos succeeded in suggesting delicate feelings and lovely images in his poems through a good choice of words. He is considered one of the most sentimental Hungarian poets.
