established in 1S84 at Tcgornsrc :in (ij)lithalinic in-
firmary for the poor. The splendid library, that con-
tained about (30,000 volumes, 6600 incunabula', and
more than 2000 manuscripts, was incorporated in part
in the National Library at Munich.
The intellectual importance of the Abbey of Teg- ernsee was less in the sphere of history than in the do- mains of literature and art. As is learned from a monk of Tegernsee of the fifteenth century, the abbey owned six Tegernsee chronicles that agreed in sense but varied in tlie way the events were related. Only four of them are known, and these are largely inter- woven with legendary additions. They are: the "Translatio des hi. Quirinus" (Petz,"Anecdota," III, 3), that is erroneously ascribed to Froumund; the poetic presentation of the same subject by Metellus called the "Quirinaha"; and the two "Passiones S. Quirini", of which the shorter is the more ancient. Especially important was the purely hterary work done at Tegernsee. Mention should be made of the "Ruodheb", the earlie.st poetic romance, which was written in rhyming he.xametres, not by Froumund, but by some Benedictine monk about the year 1030.
Tegernsee also took a very important part in the development of art, especially, as has already been said, in the making of stained glass. Glass works were established and, by order of Count Arnold Wel- sen-Klammbach, the churches were adorned with stained-glass windows instead of the old cloth hang- ings with which the window openings had formerly been covered. In 10S3 Abbot Gozbert established a bell foundry which, after Freising, was the oldest in Bavaria. He secured the first bell-founder from Frei- sing, a cleric named Adalrich, who, at the instigation of Abbot Gozbert, cast the bell of St. Quirinus, for which both the mould and the metal had been ready for three years. The glass-painter and monk, Werin- her, who was also the goldsmith of Tegernsee, made the double doors of the cathedral of Mainz that were cast in 1014. Werinher, who was also nicknamed Wenzel (Petz, "Anecd.", VI), was a skilful sculptor (artificiosus aiuiglypha). In particular he under- stood how to ornament the covers of books with let- tering and enamel. Tegernsee was also a noted mo- nastic school in the medieval period. About 1067 the celebrated monk Otloh of St. Emmeram e.xpressed his thanks for the knowledge he had gained at the abbey ("in loco illo, quo talia didici, id est in Ccenobio Tegernsee"; cf. Mabillon, "Analecta", 1723, 119). It was also Tegernsee that under the rule of Abbot Quirinus (1.568-94) established a printing-press in 1573. The importance of printing was probably recognized at the very first on account of the art of wood-engraving which had been practised for a long time at Tegernsee, and of which very beautiful proof- impressions of the years 1472 and 1477 are still ex- tant. The press at Tegernsee issued chiefly religious and popular works, and also scholarly and liturgical books of great tj^iographical be;iutj'. The archi- tectural remains still existing at Tegernsee are the former mon:istery church of the fifteenth century, which, however, was so altered by rebuilding at the close of the seventeenth century that it can only be reconstructed by analysis. Over the dtmr of the church is a marble relief dating from 14.57, represent- ing the founders of the church. Mention should also be m:vde of the Church of St. Quirinus erected on the spot where, according to legend, a spring bubbled up when the coffin of St. Quirinus rested there during the translation to the monastery church. The building was erected by .\bbot Ayndorffer in 1450 to replace a wooden church.

Tehuantepec, Diocese of (Tehuantepecensis), in the KcpuliHc of Mexico, suffragan of Oaxaca. Its area covers the southern part of the States of Oaxaca and Vera Cruz, through the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Its population is about 202,000; the residence of the bishop, the city of Tehuantepec, has 10,000 inhabitants.
Burgoa relates the following, which he deciphered from ancient Zapotecan pictures: A short time before the Spanish set foot on Mexican soil the subjects of the King of Tehuantepec begged him to make a sac- rifice to their gods, and in particular to Guiscipo- coche. This the king did and then said: "The great God announces that the time has come when he shall be driven from this earth because his enemies shall soon arrive from the regions of the rising Sun; these men will be white, and none of the Kings of these re- gions shall be able to resist their strength or their arms. They will subject us to misery and shall bring in their wake men who will be our priests and to whom those of us who shall remain will be forced to disclose oiu- sins on bended knees".
On 24 April, 1522, Fray Bartolom6 de Olmedo with Pedro de Alvarado arrived at Tehuantepec. The monarch, Cosijoiiii, a relative of the Emperor Monte- zuma, received them with open arms. He embraced the Catholic Faith, ;ind a few years later erected at his expense in his royal city the convent of S. Domingo. The Franciscan Fathers, as well as the famous Domini- can Fray Bartolom6 de las Casas, Bishop of Chiapas, preached the Gospel in Tehuantepec. The first priests to settle there were Fray Gregorio Beteta and Fray Bernardo de .\lbuquerque. A few years later an attempt was made by the descendants of the King Cosijopii to return to paganism, but this plot when discovered was quickly suppressed (see Mexico). When the See of Oaxaca was created in 1535, all the territory on which the city of Tehuantepec is situated belonged to it and remained so until 1891 when Leo XIII made of it a separate see, suffragan of Oaxaca or Antequera. There are 5 parochial schools with about 600 pupils, 4 Protestant colleges with 70 pupils, and 3 Protestuut; churches. In the capital, Tehuantepec, there are 14 churches, among which that of Santo Do- mingo is noted for its phenomenal size and splendid construction. Coatzacoakos (to-day known as Pu- erto Mexico) is known for the tradition that from this port the celebrated Quetzalcoatl sailed for his native land.
