Andras Spangar

* Légrád, January 29, 1678 – † Rozsnyó, March 14, 1744 / Jesuit monk, teacher, church writer ; ; He became a member of the Society of Jesus in 1694. He worked as a teacher and abbot in various places in the country (Nagyszombat, Esztergom, Pest, Kőszeg, Ungvár) and finally in Rozsnyó. In addition to his several works written in Latin, two of his “supplements” were particularly important. In 1638, a version of Gergely Pethő’s Hungarian Chronicle, originally printed in Vienna in 1660, with new chapters added, was published in Košice, which also includes the events of the years 1627–1732. The other work is an expansion of the alphabetical collection of biographies of writers by Márton Szentiványi (Szentiván) and Dávid Czvittinger (Selmecbánya) based on his own research. This did not appear in print and was even believed to be lost for a long time. ; ; His main works: ; Bibliothecae SS.
