He wrote: Theses theologicae (series 1a-7a, Vienna 1861-1869; series 8a, Poitiers 1874); De unitate Romana (I, Freiburg i. Br. 1862; II, Vienna 1868); De triplici ordine, naturali, praeternaturali, supernaturali (Vienna 1864); De Deo creante (Poitiers 1875). He cooperated in Passaglia's work on the Immaculate Conception and played a major role in the publication Der Papst und die modernen Ideen (5 fasc., Vienna 1864-67), in defense and clarification of the Syllabus.
