William IV., duke of Bavaria, he began to write the Annales Boiorum, about 1517, and See also:finishing this See also:book in 1521, undertook a See also:German version of it, entitled Bayersche Chronik, which he completed some years later. He assisted to found the Sodalitas litleroria Angilostadensis, under the auspices of which several old See also:manuscripts were brought to See also:light. Although Aventinus did not definitely adopt the reformed faith, he sympathized with the reformers and their teaching, and showed a strong dislike for the monks. On this See also:account he_was imprisoned in 1528, but his See also:friends soon effected his See also:release. The See also:remainder of his See also:life was somewhat unsettled, and he died at See also:Regensburg on the 9th of See also:January 1534. The Annales, which are in seven books, See also:deal with the See also:history of Bavaria in See also:conjunction with See also:general history from the earliest times to 146o, and the author shows a strong sympathy for the See also:Empire in its struggle with the Papacy. He took immense pains with his See also:work, and to some degree anticipated the See also:modern scientific method of See also:writing history. The Annales were first published in 1554, but many important passages were omitted in this edition, as they reflected on the See also:Roman Catholics. A more See also:complete edition was published at See also:Basel in 1580 by See also:Nicholas Cisner. Aventinus, who has been called the " Bavarian See also:Herodotus," wrote other books of See also:minor importance, and a complete edition of his See also:works was published at Munich (1881-1886). More recently a new edition (six vols.) has appeared.
