Raimund Duellius

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Raimund Duellius (* 1693 or 1694 ; † February 25, 1769 in Mank , Lower Austria ) was an Austrian Augustinian canon and historian.

He was ordained priest in 1716. Duellius was canon of the St. Pölten Abbey and worked there as a librarian until 1736. Through his achievements in the fields of source studies , genealogy , diplomacy , religious history and numismatics , he contributed to the heyday of Austrian historiography in the 18th century. Comparable historians are Bernhard Pez , Hieronymus Pez , Chrysostomus Hanthaler and Gottfried Bessel . He died in his Mank parish in Lower Austria, where he had worked for 33 years.

An unprinted third volume of his “Miscellanea” (see list of works) as well as a text with the title “Antiquitates Germaniae praesertim Austriacae, in suis Fontibus exhibendae” were lost, either during the occupation of St. Pölten by Bavaria and the French in 1741 or only at the abolition of the pen in 1784.
