Live and act

His year of birth varies in the various publications between 1609 and 1610; mostly Fulda is given as the place of birth, but sometimes also the Buchen region , the area around Fulda. In his publications he often appears with the nickname "von Fulda" .

He joined the Jesuit order in 1627 and studied philosophy in France and theology in Spain.

After his return, Philipp Kisel became a teacher of speech poetry and philosophy in his religious province. The Archbishop of Mainz appointed him cathedral preacher . Later he held this office in the cathedrals of Speyer , Worms , Würzburg and finally Bamberg . Here he also taught as a professor of theology at the "Academia Bambergensis" . Kisel had the special trust of Prince-Bishop Philipp Valentin Voit von Rieneck , who asked him on his deathbed to assure Emperor Leopold I of his sincere solidarity. He also gave the funeral sermon to the bishop in 1672, which appeared in print.

In 1674, Philipp Kisel was rector of the Jesuit college in Worms. In his time he was considered one of the most famous Catholic pulpit speakers in Germany and his sermons appeared in several volumes; u. a. he wrote the first post-medieval German sermon on the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Mainz, 1666). The oldest biography of the blessed Liborius Wagner (around 1661) goes back to him.

Kissel died in 1681 at the Jesuit college in Aschaffenburg .
