After studying at the Jesuit universities of Dillingen and Ingolstadt, I took up the study of medicine at the University of Vienna in 1759. In 1766 I published a doctoral dissertation with the Latin title De planetarum influxu in corpus humanum (On the Influence of the Planets on the Human Body), which discussed the influence of the moon and the planets on the human body and on disease. This was not medical astrology.
