Staudenmaier, Fijanz Anton, an eminent theo- logian of the Roman Catholic Church, was born Sept. II, 1800, at Donzdorf, in Wiirtemherg, He was conse- crated to the priesthood in 1827, and entered on his voca- tion as a teacher in the following year, when he became tutor in the thecdogical seminary at Tiibingen. In 1828 he was a|ipointed to tlie chair of theology at (iiessen, in conse(iuence of tlie publication of a work by him on the History of Bishops'' Elections (Ti\b, 1830), which had al- ready been awarded a prize oflFered by the Tiibingen University in 1825. He developed an uncommonly

fruitful activity as a professor while at (Jicssen, and | was no less busy as a wriier. In 1K:54 he I'ouiuieti, in i conjunction witii several of his colleat;ues, a journal bearini; the immc Jahibiir/itr Jlir T/ieolof/ie u. c/iiyll. J'liil-if'phie. He was transferred in lMo7 to the Uni- versity of Freiluirir. and in 1S59 aided in foundinjr an- other theoloi,'ical journal. Honors now bejjan to pour in upon him; he became canon of the cathedral of the archdi(H-ese of Freiburj:, a spiritual anil then privy coun- cilli>r to the f;rand-duke of lladen, and obtained a seat in the lei,'i>laiive chambers. He was also made an honorary inember of tlie Liiiversity of Prajjue. Se- vere application had, however, destroyed his health and exhausted the strength of his mind. In Whi) he was obliijed to apply for dismissal from his professorship, and on Jan. lH, IHoG, he found his deatli in tlic canal at Freiburg. Staudcnmaier ranks amontc the most emi- nent scholars of his Church, and may in some respects l>e brought into comparison even with Miilder (([. v.). His cidture was universal, because he was convinced that theology has relations towards all sciences, being as it were their sun, from which they derive light, life, and l»eauty (comp. his essay Ueber d<is Wesen der Uni- versildt [Freib. 1X30]). He lived in a world of ideas. Through protracted and zealous study of the old and new philosophies, of the fathers, the schoolmen, etc., he entered more fully into the realm of ideas which he re- garded as the originals and the groimd-forms of all ex- istences. Several untinislied works show how profound ■were his inipiiries in this Held (comp. .7. Scot. Erigena u. d. WissenschitJ) st-iiiei- Zeit [Frankf. 1834] -.—JJie f^hilo- sophk d. ClirUtetithiims, etc. [(iiessen, 1«40] :— and Dar- sttlluiii/ u. Kritik d. hcyel. Systeim [iNIayence, 1844]). It is evident, however, that Staudenmaier could in no case have solved the proi)lem he had set himself, because he had no apprehension of the relation of the doctrine of the divine ideas to the worhl of nature. He did not even observe what Erigcna has to say upon this sub- ject,and thoroughly misapprehended the principle upon which the system of .Jacob IJoehme (<\. v.) rests. The broad comprehensiveness of his studies of doctrine was alreaily apparent in his Encykl. d. tlieol. Wisseiisc/uiflen, etc. (^layence, 1834) : — Praijmatism. d. Gvistesyaben, etc. (TiJb. 1835): — and Geist d. ijiittl. Offenhartmg. Upon these works followed his Christl. Dogmatik (1844-48). We have also to mention in this coimeclion the popular works /iildi-rri/kliiK flirkdlholische C/iri.^len, in nine pam- phlets (Carlsrulie. IM 43-44) : — and deist d. C/irislen/hiimx, duriifstfllt ill (/. heil, Ztilen, Uandluni/en u. KuHst (May- ence, 1H34, i vols.; 5th ed. 1852). Staudenmaier's mis- cellaneous writings form an extensive group. They generally discuss questions of the time, and are per- vaded by a liberal tone, though the author is utterly unable to apjireciate Protestantism or its results. — Iler- zog.

Staudlin, Kaiu. Fitif:!)!^*"!!, theological professor at (iiiitingen, was Imrn .luly 25, 17(54, at Stuttgart. His father was couiu'illor of slate. He was educated in the Stuttgart gymnasium and the theological institution at Tllt)ingen. In 178(5 he became tutor to a number of pupils, whom he accompanied in journeys through France, F.ngland, and Switzerland, and in 17!t() he was called lo (iiittingen. He was not specially l)rilliant as a profesHor, and his lectures, particularly in his later years, were not attractive. liut he was a prolific writer an<l an nidefatigaltle compiler. His doctrinal position in tlescrilx'd by himself {(lesrh.des RittiimidixmHS u. Su- jieniiiluriiliKmiiii \ lM2ti|, p. 4(')H) as involving a concep- tion of ChriHiianity in which it appears as a combined rationaliHm and stipernaturalism. In iloginatics, which he elalx.raled at three s<'veral times— in 18(11, 18(l!>, and 1K22 — be did not regard the principles of the critical (thiloMiphy an adequate to the establishing of religion ; anil in ethics he also came to concede the superiority of the ( lirisiiau religion as a guide. Stiiudlin proitalily furMi><lied n lander inunlier of works to tlie historv of ethics than any other writer: Gtsdi. d, .SidcnU/tix Jetsu
(1799 -1822, 4 vols, incomplete) : — Gesch. d. christL Moral seit d. H'iederattjifbm d. iVissenscha/ten (1808): — Gesch. d. philosoph., hebrdisch. ii. christl. Moral ( Hanover, ISOG): — and Gesch. d. Morulphilosophie (ibid. 1822). He wrote seven monographs on the theatre, on suicide, on oaths, on i)rayer, on conscience, on marriage, and on friendship (diitt. 1823-26), and his earliest large work, Gesch. u. Geist d. Skepticismtis, etc., and the Gesch. d. Ii(itiomilis7HUs, etc., already incntioned, belonged to the list of his doctrinal and ethical works. Church history repeatedly engaged his attention (comp. his Texl-bvok [Hanover, 1825,4th etl.] ; Kiicheiiyesch. v. Grossbritiimii- eii [Giitt. 1809, 2 vols.] ; Kirchl. Geoip: v. Slutistik [ibid. 1804, 2 vols.]; and numerous Latin and (ierman arlicks contributed to the periodical i)ress or published as mon- ographs). In a Theological Encyclopwdiu and Methodol- ogy published by him (Hanover, 1821) the survey of the history of the different theological sciences is the moi-t important feature. After his death a Gesch. v. Lileniltir d. Kirchengeschichte, by his hand, was published (ibid. 1827). He gave no considerable attention to arrange- ment and style of jiresentation in his numerous writings, which are chiefly remarkable for the wide range of read- ing and impartiality in judgment they evince. He toiled incessantly down to the time of his decease, de- livering a lecture July 1, 1826, writing the final pages of a treatise on Hebrew poetry Juh' 4, and dying July 5. His autobiography was published by J. T. Hemsen, with additions and Kuperti's sermon preached at the funerjil of Stiiudlin, and also a nearly complete list of the latter's writings ((iutt. 1826). — Herzog, Reul-Encyklop. s. v.
