Latin: Joannes Molanus, Johannes Molanus
MOLANUS, Jan van (Latinized from Meulen, Vermeulen, Van der Meulen). - Theologian, b. at Lille in 1533, d. at Louvain on 18 Sept. 1585. He studied at Louvain, obtaining his degree in theology there in 1570.
M.'s principal activity was that of professor at the University of Louvain, of which in 1578 he was also rector. During the war of the Netherlands, while maintaining full loyalty to the King, he protested courageously against the tyranny of his ministers. His fame is due especially to the critical edition of the Martyrology of Usuard (Louvain 1568). He also wrote: Indiculus sanctorum Belgii (ibid. 1573); De picturis et imaginibus sacris (ibid. 1570); De historia sanctorum imaginum (ibid. 1594); Theologiae practicae compendium per conclusiones in quinque tractatus digestum (Cologne 1585), a good manual of practical theology, in which M. summarizes the lectures he gave at the Collège du roi, of which he was president.
