Mecoenas Studiosorum Pauperum, Siue Causae, Cur Adolescentes Piorum Liberalitate Adiuvandi Sint, Quos Propria Egestas a Litterarum Studiis Arcet, written in Latin by Jakob Gretser, a theologian of the Society of Jesus, explores the reasons why young people should be supported by the generosity of the pious when poverty prevents them from pursuing literary studies. This work, originally published in 1620, delves into the philosophical and religious underpinnings of providing aid to impoverished students, arguing for the importance of enabling their access to education. Gretser's treatise offers a valuable insight into the educational and charitable concerns of the early 17th century within the Jesuit tradition.
