This article appears in Volume V03, Page 611 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BECKX, PIERRE JEAN (1795-1887) , general of the Society of Jesus, was born at Sichem in Belgium on the 8th of February 1795, and entered the novitiate of the order at
Hildesheim
  in 1819. His first important post was as procurator for the province of Austria, 1847; next year he became
rector
  of the Jesuit college at
Louvain
 , and, after serving as secretary to the provincials of Belgium and Austria, was elected head of the order in 1853. His
tenure
  of office was marked by an increased zeal for missions in
Protestant
  lands, and by the removal of the society's headquarters from Rome to Fiesole near Florence in 1870. His
chief
  literary
work
  was the often-translated Month of Mary (Vienna, 1843). He retired in September 1883, being succeeded by Anthony M. Anderledy, a Swiss, who had seen service in the United States. He died at Rome on the 4th of
March
  1887.
