Autorenporträt
The Rev. Father Martin of Cochem, O.S.F.C., was a German Capuchin born in 1630 at Mosel. He entered the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin as a novitiate while still young, subsequently received Holy Orders, and was ultimately assigned as a professor of theology. He also cared for the plague victims of 1666, and thereupon began composing popular religious writings and treatises. Father Cochem authored such works as "The Last Four Things" and "The Incredible Catholic Mass," the former of which was printed by TAN in 1987. He died on the tenth of September, 1712, at Waghausel.
