Alulfi De expositione Novi Testamenti libe Countess Mary Margaret Waldstein (1689-1725), was the wife of Prince Franz Josef of Waldstein (1680-1722), was an early supporter of the Capuchin Order and their monastery in Hradiste, present-day Czechoslovakia. She is called the "mother of the Capuchins." The House of Waldstein is a Czech noble family, that received prominent state and civil positions beginning in the 17th century. It was one of the first among the Bohemian nobility to be promoted to Graf (count) in 1628, and two years later to the imperial court. Its most famous members include General Albrecht von Wallenstein and statesman Ferdinand Gabriel von Waldstein, the patron of Ludwig van Beethoven. The Order of the Capuchin Friars Minor, is an Order of friars in the Catholic Church, one of the chief offshoots of the Franciscan Order. The Order began in 1520 when Matteo da Bascio, an Observant Franciscan friar, said he had been inspired by God with the idea of that the manner of life led by the Franciscans, at the time, was not in keeping with their found, St. Francis of Assisi had envisioned. He created the Capuchin Order to return to the primitive way of life solitude and penance as practiced by St. Francis. The name of their order comes from the Cappuccio, a hood worn by the Camaldolese monks, in gratitude for refuge given by the monks in the initial years of the order. Dr. Johann August Wilhelm Neander (1789-1850) was a German theologian and church historian. Originally born into a Jewish family, he changed his name to Neander when he became a Christian in 1806. A German Lutheran, he studied with F D. Schleiermacher (1768-1834) in Berlin, but soon switched his interest from speculative theology to church history. His General History of the Christian Religion and Church (Allgemeine Geschichte der christlichen Religion und Kirche) remains the greatest monument of his genius. In this Neander's chief aim was everywhere to understand what was individual in history. In the principal figures of ecclesiastical history he tried to depict the representative tendencies of each age, and also the types of the essential tendencies of human nature generally. His guiding principle in dealing both with the history and with the present condition of the church was "that Christianity has room for the various tendencies of human nature, and aims at permeating and glorifying them all; that according to the divine plan these various tendencies are to occur successively and simultaneously and to counterbalance each other, so that the freedom and variety of the development of the spiritual life ought not to be forced into a single dogmatic form" (Otto Pfleiderer). Neander had considerable influence not only in his own church and country but also further afield through the combination of scholarly excellence and personal interest that he achieved in his teaching and writing. Neander believed that church history is not just an academic pursuit but part of the mission and ministry of the church. The Congregation of St. Maur, often known as the Maurists, were a congregation of French Benedictines, established in 1621, and known for their high level of scholarship. The congregation and its members were called after Saint Maurus (died 565), a disciple of Saint Benedict credited with introducing the Benedictine rule and life into Gaul. The primary idea of the movement was not the undertaking of literary and historical work, but the return to a strict monastic regime and the faithful carrying out of Benedictine life. Their historical and critical school produced a number of works of scholarship which still are of permanent value. The foundations of this school were laid by Dom Tarisse, the first superior-general, who in 1632 issued instructions to the superiors of the monasteries to train the young monks in the habits of research and of organized work. The output was prodigious, coming from a single s.
