Latin Grave Inscription


Here is the Latin grave inscription of which I had been speaking. Double click on it to see more clearly. Took a tour of the church and so much to say but little time before a Benedictine lunch of "Brot und Suppe." Point is, I learned that the Capuchins were here and had a long time presence going back to at least the Middle Ages (The church itself goes back to the 800's) AND the Capuchins ran a hospital/chapel elsewhere in the town during the Middle Ages taking care of the sick and homeless - so the "virtutibus" (virtuous works) makes perfect sense for our Ludovicus.
