Active between 1656 and 1667, there is little information about his life. He was a Cordelier (a type of Franciscan friar), but his name does not appear in the list of writers of his order. His writings for the edification of the faithful include "Le vray chemin du ciel pour les agonisans" (1656), "Emblesmes sacrez tirez de l'Escriture saincte" (1655-65), and "L'histoire de la passion de N. Sauveur Jésus-Christ" (1666). Berthod is in the tradition of Irénée d'Eu and many other 17th-century religious figures who specialized in the production of sacred counterscripts.
