NI'EREMBERGQohn-Eufebius de),a learned Spani/h 
Jefuitand voluminous writer, was defcended from a noble 
Tyrolefe family, and born at Madrid in the year 1590. 
Beingdefigned by his father for the legal profeftion, he was 
fent toftudy jurilprudence at the univerfity of Salamanca; 
but he there conceived a difguft at the world, and deter¬ 
mined to embrace the religious life; accordingly, he en¬ 
tered the fociety of Jefus in the year 1614. During his 
noviciate, and after he had taken the vows,hediftingui(hed 
hinifelf by the diligence of his application to his ftudies, 
and the excefiive mortification and rigorous difcipline to 
which he fubje&ed liimfelf. Natural hiftory, divinity, 
and the facred fcriptures, were the fubje&s to which his 
chief attention was devoted. His zeal frequently carried 
him on millions into the Toledo mountains, where he is 
N I E 79 
faid to have been eminently fuccefsful in promoting the 
interefts of religion, by the eloquence of his inftruCtions 
and the ardour of his piety. He filled the chair of natural 
hiftory in the royal fchool at Madrid, for fourteen years, 
with very high reputation ; and afterwards, during three 
years, read leCtures illuftrative of the facred fcriptures. 
At the fame time he was held in high eftimation as a di¬ 
rector of confidences, and was attended in his confeftional 
by vaft numbers of diftinguilhed characters in the highelt 
ranks. During the laft fixteen years of his life he was 
affeCted by complaints which kept him in inceftant pain, 
and entirely difabled him for aCtive exertions and itu- 
dious purfuits ; but he fuftained his afflictions with ad¬ 
mirable fortitude and fubmiffion, till releafed by death in 
1658, when he was about the age of fixty-eight. He was 
the author of a prodigious number of works, in the Latin 
and Spanifh languages, feveral of which have been tranl- 
lated into French, and foine into Arabic. The following
