Jeremias Drexel SJ (also known as Hieremias Drexelius or Drechsel) (1581-1638) was a Jesuit writer of devotional literature and a professor of humanities and rhetoric. For 23 years he served as court preacher in Munich to Maximilian I, Elector of Bavaria, and his wife Elisabeth of Lorraine.
He wrote some 30 ascet. Latin treatises, and because he did not take up controversial matters in his writings and sermons, he also gained respect among Protestants. Works translated into various European languages, disseminated in thousands of pieces, were popular.
