Eine Biographie (1881, 2 volumes). This work has been praised as an important source of Catholic church history." - Wikipedia. Gunther "began to publish a series of eight works seeking to demonstrate the truth of positive Christianity in the light of reason alone, confuting pantheism but also rejecting scholasticism. They were widely hailed and condemned, had great influence on the Old Catholic group, and in 1857 were placed on the Index.
