Ignaz Cornova

Ignaz Cornova (25 July 1740 – 25 July 1822) was a Jesuit priest who had spent his life and career in Bohemia. His family provenance was Italian, but his social and professional network revolved around the ethnically German community centred on Prague. He can be variously described as a historian, a teacher, an author and an early representative of the European Catholic Enlightenment movement. He was also a prominent Freemason. Provided by Wikipedia
