Pontas, Ioan.
Drawn from the authors' own words; every quotation links to its place.
1638–1728
In Prümmer's Catalogue and Haringer's Index
- “Pontas, Ioan., French (1638-1728), composed Dictionarium casuum conscientiae. This work was first written in the French language, but afterward translated into Latin and often edited and revised, for example by Concina and Collet. That edition which Migne prepared in 1847, 2 volumes in 4to, is good. Pontas is a rigid author.” — Prümmer, Catalogue of authors
- [+*: rigid] “Pontas Ioannes, French (Dictionary of Cases of Conscience), born 1638, died 1728.” — Haringer's index of writers (Gury-Ballerini) (p. XXVI, sign read on the page)
His Moral System, as Our Authors Report It
Every report quoted in the author's own words and linked to its place; point at a name to see his words. Haringer's signs give St. Alphonsus's judgment as Haringer found it in St. Alphonsus's works (his notice, Gury-Ballerini, 1884, p. XI); a sign on a writer the 1884 editor added to the list is the editor's own, and is said to be his.
