BACH, JOSEPH. - Positive theologian, b. 4 March 1833 at Aislingen (Bavaria) and d. at Munich on 24 Sept. 1901. A priest in 1856, he took his degree in 1859. In 1867 he was appointed extraordinary and in 1872 ordinary professor at the University of Munich. He occupied himself with deepening the dogmatic thought of the Middle Ages, and especially the Christological problem in German authors, composing a magnificent history of it, to which he added a series of unpublished documents, giving us a work that is still consulted with profit.
He published: Meister Eckardt der Vater der deutschen Spekulation (Vienna 1864); Die Siebenzahl der Sakramente (Ratisbon 1864); his article on Gerhoch von Reichersberg (1093-1169) had great resonance, in Oesterreichische Vierteljahrschrift für Kath. Theologie, 1865, pp. 19-118; Die Dogmengeschichte der Mittelalters vom christologischen Standpunkt oder die mittelalterliche Christologie vom XIII-XIV Jahrhundert (2 vols., Vienna 1873-75); Albertus Magnus Verhältniss zur Erkenntnislehre der Griechen, Lateiner und Juden (Vienna 1881).
