BINTERIM, ANTON JOSEPH. - Historian and archaeologist, b. 19 Sept. 1779 at Düsseldorf, d. 17 May 1855 at Bilk. A Franciscan in 1796, secularized in 1802 following the suppression of the monasteries, parish priest at Bilk (a suburb of Düsseldorf). A zealous pastor and a prolific writer.
His principal work is Die vorzüglichten Denkwürdigheiten der christkatholischen Kirche aus den ersten, mittleren und letzten Zeiten, mit besonderer Rücksichtnahme auf die Disziplin der kath. Kirche in Deutschland (Mainz 1825-41; 2nd ed., 7 vols. in 17 tomes, ibid. 1858 ff.). B. follows the scheme of the De christiana ecclesiae primae, mediae et novissimae aetatis politia (Naples 1777-81), by A. Pelliccia, a Neapolitan archaeologist, greatly enriching its content, especially with regard to the German Church. The immense material accumulated there is still very useful, although the work as such has in many parts been superseded. Also to be noted is his Pragmatische Geschichte der deutschen Concilien (7 vols., ibid. 1835-48; 2nd ed., 1851 ff.), the first attempt at a reasoned history of the German national and provincial councils.
A quantity of minor writings, predominantly pastoral and polemical-apologetic in character, exercised in their time a beneficial influence in the struggle of Catholics against aggressive Prussian Lutheranism.
