[edit] Life

He was born in 1430 in Temesvár, Hungary (now Timişoara, Romania). In 1458 he went to the University of Krakow. In 1463 he was licenced in Theology. Possibly in 1471 left Krakow as a doctor, then in 1483 is mentioned in the Franciscan Community Annales of St. John Monastery in Buda, the Hungarian Capital city. After 1483 his writings began to be published in print. The first printed edition of his Sermons dates from 1498. In 1503 a printed version of his lecture notes was published. Pelbartus died on 9 January 1504 in Buda, as a highly distinguished author and professor. Hungarian versions of his writings in manuscript date from 1510.

[edit] His work

There are two kinds of texts: sermons (many of them treating the Immaculate Conception) and Commentaries on Sentences of Petrus Lombardus. His final work is a synthesis called Aureum Sacrae Theologiae Rosarium – finished by his student Oswald of Lasko.
