One in Brown University, three others in German institutions. Von Rechtenthal, Joseph (learned Jesuit, born in Kaltern in Tyrol on January 4, 1724, died in Gries near Bozen on January 10, 1800). There is no doubt that he belonged to the noble Lehrer von Rechtenthal family, but in the absence of all documents we are unable to place him on the family tree. At a young age he joined the order of the Society of Jesus and worked as a teacher there. He lectured on logic, metaphysics and physics at several colleges of the order, obtained a doctorate in philosophy and finally came to Freiburg im Breisgau, where he taught theology and also obtained a doctorate in theology. **Unterrichter von Rechenthal (Joseph Peter).
