BOSCH DE CENTELLAS Y CORDONA, BALTHASAR. - Camillian, b. at Centellas (Spain) in 1650, d. at Madrid on 4 December 1714. He lived in Saragossa, Madrid and Antwerp. He devoted himself to the care of the sick; a long and fruitful experience dictated his principal work: Prácticas de visitar a los enfermos y ayudar a bien morir (Antwerp 1701), which went through many editions and is still quite widespread.

He also wrote: Ejercicio angélico en obsequio de Maria Santísima, (2 vols., ibid. 1701); Guirnalda mística. Trinafo de los santos (ibid. 1701), brief meditations for each day of the year on the characteristic virtue of the saint commemorated.
