Jozef Ignác Bajza
Died in 1836
Jozef Ignác Bajza was born on 5 March 1755 in Predmier, into a well-off peasant family. Trained at the Pázmáneum in Vienna from 1777 and ordained in 1780, he served almost all his life as a parish priest in Upper Hungary, before being appointed canon of the Bratislava chapter in 1828. Of a hot-tempered disposition, he engaged in polemics with Anton Bernolák and Juraj Fándly over the written language, and his successors set aside the Slovak he had forged for himself. He died in Bratislava on 1 December 1836.
