JANSSEN, JOHANNES (1829-1891) , See also:German historian, was See also:born at Xanten on the loth of See also:April 1829, and was educated as a See also:Roman See also:Catholic at See also:Munster, See also:Louvain, See also:Bonn and See also:Berlin, afterwards becoming a teacher of See also:history at See also:Frankfort-on-the-See also:Main. He was ordained See also:priest in 186o; became a member of the Prussian Chamber of Deputies in 1875; and in 188o was made domestic See also:prelate to the See also:pope and apostolic pronotary. He died at Frankfort on the 24th of See also:December 1891. Janssen was a stout See also:champion of the Ultramontane party in the Roman Catholic See also:Church. His See also:great See also:work is his Geschichte See also:des deutschen Volkes seit dem Ausgang des Mittelalters (8 vols., See also:Freiburg, 1878-1894). In this See also:book he shows himself very hostile to the See also:Reformation, and attempts to prove that the Protestants were responsible for the See also:general unrest in See also:Germany during the 16th and 17th centuries. The author's partisanship led to some controversy, and Janssen wrote An meine Kritiker (Freiburg, 1882) and Ein zweites Wort an meine Kritiker (Freiburg, 1883) in reply to the See also:Janssens Geschichte des deutschen Volkes (See also:Munich, 1883) of M. See also:Lenz, and other criticisms. The Geschichte, which has passed through numerous See also:editions, has been continued and improved by See also:Ludwig Pastor, and the greater See also:part of it has been translated into See also:English by M. A. See also:Mitchell and A. M.
