Canonist. Born in 1641 in Kaltenbrunn, Bavaria; died in 1703 in Freising, Bavaria. He was a member of the Franciscan (Reformed) Order, and was chosen definitor of his province. He taught philosophy at Freising, Landshut, and Munich, and canon law at Freising. His works on moral theology and canon law give him first rank among the canonists of his time, and have gone through numerous editions, with additions by other authors.
