Matthias Qualle (1470–1518), born Matija Hvale, was a Slovene philosopher. Between 1502 and 1514 he taught philosophy at the University of Vienna's Faculty of Arts, and in 1510 he served as the faculty's dean.[1]
Life and work
Qualle was born in Vače, present-day Slovenia. He started studying at Vienna in 1491, where he became a teacher. He was a mentor to, and later a colleague of Joachim Vadian, a Swiss humanist and reformer.[1][2]
In 1513, his Commentarii in parvulum philosophiae naturalis was printed in Hagenau. It is considered the first known printed book written by a Slovene author. Qualle died in Vienna.
