Abstract
The first part of the paper deals with the Paulists from and of Križevci who were active at the Paulist university in Lepoglava, whereas the second part is about those Paulists who belonged to the same province but were of Hungarian de-scent.
Of Križevci Paulists the most important is Nikola Berger, followed by Jakob Obstrenec who was the first Philosophy professor in Lepoglava. Others worth mentioning are Jakob Stručić, Toma Jelenski, Nikola Kranjčec, Ambrozij e Bedečić, Franjo Grabantović and Stjepan Martinek.
Ivan Rohonczy, Petar Balla, Filip Gersich, Franjo Balog and Ivan Kéry were among the most prominent Hungarian Paulists. According to the Zagreb canon Kamilo Dočkal (1879-1963), Kéry published his 3-volume work Peripathetical Philosophy in Pressburg (Bratislava) back in 1673.
To conclude, the Paulists from Križevci and its surroundings, as well as those from Hungary contributed greatly to the development of educational and scientific activities in the Paulist province.
