Lucianus Montifontanus (also: Montifontano , * around 1630 in Schruns (probably parcel Montjola); † 1716 in Bregenz ), real surname : Marenth was a Capuchin priest , scholar in philosophy , theology , mathematics and chronology . The surname “ Montifontanus ” he chose is an unusual Latinization ( Traduktionym ) of the name Montafon , the valley in which he was born.

Life

Montifontanus began his spiritual career in 1652 as a novice with the Capuchins in the Capuchin monastery in Feldkirch . Lucianus Montifontanus worked as part of his order in various leading offices in the province of Upper Austria . He called himself one several times: “Pre-Austrian Provincial Preacher” and wrote a large number of books and instructive sermons for adults and children and traveled to southern Germany for his sermons . Like Abraham a Sancta Clara , Montifontanus comes from the Alemannic language area and is said to have had a similar preaching style and popularity among the people .

In 1704 he resigned as a guardian in the Feldkirch Capuchin monastery . A task that Fidelis von Sigmaringen held before him and that Montifontanus wrote a book about his biography and canonization . A copy of this book that has survived to this day belonged to Claudia Felizitas of Austria-Tyrol , a confessor of Monitfontanus. This book is said to have been last used by Maria Theresa before it got into the ecclesiastical treasury in the Hofburg .
