Johann Emanuel Veith

Johann Emanuel Veith (b. of Jewish parents at Kuttenplan, Bohemia, 1787; d. at Vienna, 6 November 1876) was a Bohemian Roman Catholic preacher.

He also became a personal friend of Father Hofbauer, was his physician, and was urged by him to devote himself to preaching, after ordination.

In the third part of his "Erzählungen und Humoresken" he gives the "Aphorismen für Diener der Kirche von einem Kirchendiener".

In the summer of 1869 Veith received an English translation of his "Leidenswerkzeuge" from Theodore Noethen, parish priest at Albany, U.S.A., the work itself being published at Boston.

He could not preach, but he wrote lectures on spiritual exercises for publication, and supplemented and completed his books of meditations:
