Individual evidence

↑ The year of death 1772 should be considered certain, since it is still listed in the "Catalogus personarum et officiorum Provinciae Germaniae Superioris Societatis Jesu" after 1768.
↑ The dedication of the edition from 1729 bears the signature FXZSJ, but does not seem to be from Zech (see Groeber, p.301).
↑ A reply to this is the work: Eusebius Amort : Quaestio moralis, an et quando sufficiat (1748) ( digitized version )
