Johann Sebastian von Drey

With Johann Adam Möhler, Drey was the founder of the so-called Catholic School of Tübingen.

Johannes von Kuhn and Schanz faithfully followed in the path marked out by Drey.

When King William I (1817) incorporated the University of Ellwangen with the old national University of Tübingen as its Catholic faculty of theology, Drey with his colleagues, Peter Aloys Gratz and Johann Georg Herbst, joined the staff of the new school and founded (1819), together with them and his new colleague, Johann Baptist von Hirscher, the "Theologische Quartalschrift" of Tübingen; he took a prominent part in its publication and wrote for it a number of essays and reviews.
