JUNGMANN, BERNARD. – Theologian, b. in Munich on 1 March 1833, d. in Louvain on 12 January 1895. From 1861 he taught philosophy at the seminary of Roulers (diocese of Bruges), becoming in 1861 a professor of dogmatic theology at the seminary of Bruges, and in 1871 professor of ecclesiastical history at the University of Louvain. Here his particular merit was the creation of a distinct chair for patrology, which he himself held from 1879 to 1890, and the founding of the Seminary of Ecclesiastical History, which he directed with great competence.
He wrote: *Tractatus de Gratia* (Brussels 1868); *De Deo uno et trino* (Regensburg 1870); *De Deo creatore* (ibid. 1871); *De novissimis* (ibid. 1871); *De vera religione* (ibid. 1874); *Dissertationes selectae in historiam ecclesiasticam* (7 vols., ibid. 1880–87) and various articles in the *Zeitschrift für katholische Theologie* and in the *Katholik*.
