BERINGER, FRANZ. - German Jesuit, canonist, b. at Mainz on 30 May 1838, d. at Rome on 23 Jan. 1909. A priest in 1854, after his studies completed in Rome at the German College he was for some years secretary of the Bishop of Mainz, Emmanuel von Ketteler.
Having entered the Society of Jesus (1879), he was called to Rome in 1883 to assist Fr. F. Ehrle, future cardinal, in the edition of the Commentarius in Aristotelem of Fr. S. Mauro (4 vols., Paris 1885-87) and of the Summa philosophica of Fr. C. Alamanni (2 vols., Paris 1885-88). A very active consultor of the Sacred Congregation of Indulgences (1888), he published, revised, the collection of Fr. J. Schneider: Rescripta authentica necnon summaria indulgentiarum (Ratisbon 1895); he completely recast the manual of indulgences of Maurel-Schneider, which from the 10th edition onward (1893) appeared under his name and became a classic: Die Ablässe, ihr Wesen und Gebrauch (the 15th ed. edited by Fr. P. A. Steinen, Paderborn 1921). The work was declared authentic by the Congregation of Indulgences itself. B. also published De congregationibus mariani documents et leges (Graz 1909).
