Péter Pázmány, S.J.

'pe?t?r]; Latin: Petrus Pazmanus; German: Peter Pazman; Slovak: Peter Pázman; 4 October 1570 – 19 March 1637), was a Hungarian Jesuit who was a noted philosopher, theologian, cardinal, pulpit orator and statesman.
He was an important figure in the Counter-Reformation in Royal Hungary. Pázmány's most important legacy was his creation of the Hungarian literary language.
As an orator he was dubbed "the Hungarian Cicero in the purple".
In 1867, a street in Vienna, the Pazmanitengasse, was named after him.
