Bernhard Sannig

Bernhard Sannig (1637 – 1704) was a Czech Franciscan theologian and philosopher.

Life and works

edit

Born of a noble Bohemian family, he joined the Franciscan order at a young age. A long-term provincial minister of the Franciscan province Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia, he taught philosophy and theology in Prague, notably in the seminar of the archbishop.[1] He gained renown for his quite concise and clearly written textbooks in theology and philosophy, where he succeeded to capture the gist of Scotistic doctrine while avoiding lengthy analyses, marginal details and controversial speculations.[2] His comprehensive philosophical course, Schola philosophica Scotistarum was published in 1684-1685. It is remarkable also for the inclusion of some quite unusual treatises - e.g. on horology , or «licit physiognomy» -, which document Sannig's wide scope of interests. Sannig died in Znojmo in 1704.[3]
