Franz Xaver Reithmayr

Born 16 March 1809, he studied theology in Regensburg and at the University of Munich. In 1832, he received his ordination, and for a period of time taught classes at the Latin School in Regensburg. Afterwards, he returned to Munich and continued his studies under theologian Johann Adam Möhler, who was a profound influence to Reithmayr's career. After Möhler's death in 1838, he edited and published his mentor's "Patrologie oder christliche Literärgeschichte" (Patrology or Christian literary history).{{Cite book |last=Möhler |first=Johann Adam |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tpgUAAAAQAAJ |title=Patrologie oder christliche Literärgeschichte |date=1840 |publisher=G.J.

In 1836, he earned his doctorate in theology, and in 1841, was appointed a full professor of New Testament exegesis at the Catholic Theological Faculty of the University of Munich, a position he maintained until his death. In 1869, he became an editor of the "Bibliothek der Kirchenväter" (Library of the Church Fathers).{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RBtQAAAAcAAJ&dq=Reithmayr+%22Bibliothek+der+Kirchenv%C3%A4ter%22+1869&pg=PA497 |title=Zeitschrift für die gesammte lutherische Theologie und Kirche |date=1872 |publisher=Dörffling & Franke |language=de}}
