Franz Xaver Reithmayr

Born 16 March 1809, he studied theology in Regensburg and at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. In 1832, he received his ordination, and for a period of time taught classes at the Latin School in Regensburg. Afterwards, he returned to Munich and continued his studies under theologian Johann Adam Möhler, who was a profound influence to Reithmayr's career. After Möhler's death in 1838, he edited and published his mentor's "Patrologie oder christliche Literärgeschichte" (Patrology or Christian literary history).^[1]

In 1836, he earned his doctorate in theology, and in 1841, was appointed a full professor of New Testament exegesis at the Catholic Theological Faculty of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, a position he maintained until his death. In 1869, he became an editor of the "Bibliothek der Kirchenväter" (Library of the Church Fathers).^[2]
