This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Peter Pazmany was born at Nagyvarad, Principality of Transylvania (now Oradea, Romania) on the 4th of October 1570.
He was educated at Nagyvarad and Kolozsvar. In 1587 he entered the Jesuit order. Pazmany went through his probation at Cracow, took his degree at Vienna, and studied theology at Rome, and finally completed his academic course at the Jesuit college at Graz.
In 1601 he was sent to the order's establishment at Sellye, where his eloquence and dialectic won back hundreds to Rome, including many of the noblest families. Prince Nicholas Esterhazy and Paul Rakoczy were among his converts.
In 1607 he was attached to the archbishop of Esztergom, and in the following year attracted attention by his denunciation, in the Diet, of the 8th point of the peace of Vienna, which prohibited the Jesuits from acquiring landed property in Hungary. At about the same time the pope, on the petition of the emperor Matthias II, released Pazmany from his monkish vows.
On the 25th of April 1616 he was made dean of Turocz, and on the 28th of September became primate of Hungary.
He received the red hat from Urban VIII in 1629.
In 1619 he founded a seminary for theological candidates at Nagyszombat, and in 1623 laid the foundations of a similar institution at Vienna, the still famous Pazmanaeum, at a cost of 200, 000 florins. In 1635 he contributed 100, 000 florins towards the foundation of a Hungarian university. He also built Jesuit colleges and schools at Pressburg, and Franciscan monasteries at Ersekujvar and Kormocbanya.
Pazmany's most important legacy was his creation of the Hungarian literary language. Particularly remarkable is his Igazsdgra vezetd Kalauz (Guide to Truth), which appeared in 1613. This manual united all the advantages of scientific depth, methodical arrangement and popular style.
In 1867, a street in Vienna, the Pazmanitengasse, was named after him.

He quitted the Calvinist confession for the Roman communion in 1583.
As the chief pastor of the Hungarian church Pazmany used every means in his power, short of absolute contravention of the laws, to obstruct and weaken Protestantism, which had risen during the 16th century.
In politics he played a considerable part. It was chiefly due to him that the diet of 1618 elected the archduke Ferdinand to succeed the childless Matthias II. He also repeatedly thwarted the martial ambitions of Gabriel Bethlen, and prevented George Rakoczy I, over whom he had a great influence, from combining with the Turks and the Protestants.
Pazmany was the soul of the Roman Catholic reaction in Hungary. As an orator he well deserved the epithet of "the Hungarian purple Cicero. "
