Guntherode, Carl Von

Guntherode, Carl Von a Roman Catholic theologian of Milan, was born in 1740. In 1779 he was professor of Church history at Innsbrtick, but soon exchanged the academical chair for the monastery, a step which he regretted, because both the monastic life and the religious views of the monks were not in harmony with his intellectual powers. More pleasant was his position as librarian to prince Esterhazy, at Vienna He died in 1795, leaving, Institutio Theologice Naturalis (1774): — Diss. de Criteriis Veri et Falsi (eod.): — De Supremata Concilii Ge eralis supra Romorum Pontificum (1777).
