Edit ProfileCareer
Shortly after the suppression of the Jesuits in 1773, Prince-bishop Clemens Wenceslaus of Saxony engaged him as professor of canon law at Augsburg. He held this position for thirty years (1777-1807), with the exception of four months, during which he was theologian at the papal nunciature at Ratisbon, and sixteen months, which upon invitation of Pius VII he spent in Rome as papal councillor in German affairs (1805-1806). In 1807 he returned to Bolzano, devoting the rest of his life to literary labours.
Views
As a canonist he defended the papal rights again the Febronian tendencies in Germany, and as a philosopher he endeavoured to replace the scholastic method by the empiricism of Newton.
