Around the year 1650, Bruodin fled to Bohemia where he joined the Czech Franciscan community at Olomouc, where he was custos from 1663.

Works

Bruodin wrote:[2]

  • Œcodomia Minoriticæ Scholæ Solamonis, Johannia Duns Scoti, sive Universæ Theologiæ Scholasticæ Manualis Summa, Prague, 1663.
  • Corolla Œcodomiæ Minoriticæ Scholæ Salamonis, Doctoris subtilis; sive pars altera Manualis Summæ totius Theologiæ Speculativæ, Prague, 1864.
  • Propugnaculum Catholicæ Veritatis, Pars prima Historica, in quinque libros distributa, Prague, 1668. In its fifth book he attacked Lyra Hibernica by the Anglo-Irish historian Thomas Carve, in a chapter De Carve seu Carrani erroribus et imposturis. This provoked from Carve the Enchiridion Apologeticum, Nuremberg, 1670. In answer to this a tract Anatomicum Examen Enchiridii was published at Prague in 1671, by Bruodine under the pseudonym Cornelius O'Mollony.[1] A final work in the controversy was the Responsio Veridica by Carve (Sulzbach, 1682).[3]
  • Armamentarium Theologicum, Prague.

Inaccuracies have been found in Bruodin's work on Irish martyrs.[4]
