GUZMICS, IZIDOR (1786-1839) , Hungarian theologian, was born on the 7th of April 1786 at Vamos-Csalad, in the county of Sopron. At Sopron (Oedenburg) he was instructed in the art of poetry by Paul Horvath. In October 1805 he entered the
Benedictine
  order, but left it in August of the following year, only again to assume the monastic garb on the loth of November 1806. At the monastery of Pannonhegy he applied himself to the study of Greek under Farkas Toth and in 1812 he was sent to Pesth to study theology. Here he read the best German and Hungarian authors, and took part in the editorship of the Nemzeti (National) Plutarkus, and in the
translation
  of Johann Hiibner's
Lexicon
 . On obtaining the degree of
doctor
  of divinity in 1816, he returned to Pannonhegy, where he devoted himself to dogmatic theology and literature, and contributed largely to Hungarian
periodicals
 . The most important of his theological works are: A kath. anyaszentegyhaznak hitbeli tanitasa (The Doctrinal Teaching of the Holy Catholic Church), and A keresztenyeknek valldsbeli egyesiilesokrol (On Religious Unity among Christians), both published at Pesth in 1822; also a Latin treatise entitled Theologia Christiana fundamentalis et theologia dogmatics (4 vols., Gyor, 1828-1829). His
translation
  of
Theocritus in hexameters was published in 1824. His versions of the
Oedipus
  of Sophocles and of the Iphigenia of Euripides were rewarded by the Hungarian
Academy
 , of which in 1838 he was elected honorary member. In 1832 he was appointed abbot of the wealthy
Benedictine
 
house
  at Bakonybel, a
village
  in the county of Veszprem. There he built an asylum for 150 children, and founded a school of harmony and singing. He died on the 1st of September 1839.
