biography
He became a Capuchin and he went to the Capuchin Monastery of Sarrià . He was graduated in History at the University of Louvain , and from 1926 he was director of the magazine Estudis Franciscans (Franciscan Studies). In 1924 he published Història de la primacia de la seu de Tarragona (History of the primacy of Tarragona Cathedral) by Jaume Caresmar. He specialized in Francesc Eiximenis . Therefore he copied the Doctrina compendiosa in 1929. This work is attributed to Francesc Eiximenis, but it was later confirmed that this book was not written directly by Eiximenis, although it is shaped by Eiximenis' thoughts and teachings. Together with the Capuchins Norbert d'Ordal and Feliu de Tarragona, they also transcribed three hundred and fifty- two passages from the Terç (third volume) of Lo Crestià (1929–32). He also copied his interesting Ars Praedicandi Populo (Manual for Preaching to the People), which he discovered in Krakow . He also wrote various articles on medieval Catalan society and culture. He was murdered by the anarchists of the FAI at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War . He was beatified at the Barcelona Cathedral on November 21, 2015 along with other Capuchins who were also murdered during the persecution of religion in 1936.
