David ab Augusta (David Augustanus/David von Augsburg, ca. 1200-1272)

OM. German friar. Theologian and preacher. Probably born in Augsburg between 1200 and 1210. Joined the order shortly after 1221 (when the order started to make progress in the German lands). Seems to have studied at the Studium of Magdeburg (founded in 1230). Around 1240, David became novice master in the Franciscan convent of Regensburg, a position he kept for many years. Several writings attest to this , for instance his famous De Ext. Et Int. Hominis Compositione. For a discussion of the evidence, see Stöckerl, (1914), 183-187). Aside from his activities as novice master, David also was active as preacher and confessor, engaging in a range of homiletic journeys (also als socius of Berthold of Regensburg, cf. MS Munich cgm 210 f. 79ra). In 1246, he became papal inspector (together with his former novice Berthold of Regensburg , friar Henry of Lerchenfeld and friar Ulrich of Dornberg) of female monasteries in Regensburg, and later (1250s) probably also active as inquisitor against the Waldensians (cf. the `spurious'? Tractatus de Inquisitione Haereticorum). Eventually returned to Augsburg, where he died on 15 or 19 November 1272. Throughout the later medieval period, he remained famous for his sermons (which apparently did not survive) and his many surviving ascetical teachings, many of which circulated widely in a large number of manuscript copies (both in Latin and in various vernaculars). Particularly his De Exterioris et Interioris Compositione had an enormous reception, and formed a source for many later medieval works of religious instruction, particularly within female religious communities alligned with the Franciscan order and the Modern Devotion movement (see the article of Ruh on David of Augsburg in Die deutsche Lit. des MA Verfasserslexikon II and the article of Domenico Pezzini). His educative treatises abound in metaphors and similes drawn from daily life, building, craftmanship, labour, civil law, husbandry, commerce, travel, education and ecclesiastical life. [see in particular on this Schwab (1971), 202ff. and Claudia Rueg (1989), 42-43, 47ff.] In the past, a long discussion has been taking place concerning the authenticity of David's German works. This disussion seems to have been decided by S. Francis Mary Schwab, who, in the study David of Augsburg’s ‘Paternoster’ and the Authenticity of His German Works (Munich, 1971), concluded (p. 175) ‘that the canon of David’s German works includes the following: ‘Die sieben Vorregeln der Tugend’; ‘Der Spiegel der Tugend’; ‘Von der Offenbarung und Erlösung des Menschengeschlechtes’ (including ‘Kristi Leben unser Vorbild’); ‘Die vier Fittiche geistlicher Betrachtung’; ‘Von der Erkenntnis der Wahrheit’; ‘Die sieben Staffeln des Gebetes’ (Version B), including the ‘postscript´to Version A, probably intended for B (A was translated from the Latin ‘Septem gradus orationis’, which, though ascribed to David and edited under his name, appears to be unauthentic because of marked stylistic differences), the ‘Paternoster’; and an ‘Ave Maria’.’ Schwab also comes to a general theological characterisation of David’s work (p. 180): ‘With regard to the doctrine contained in David’s writings, there are certain frequently recurring principles that contain the essence of his thought, such as the following: The goal of man is complete rest in God and union with Him. This state can be found only through purity of soul - that is, through freedom from all attachment to whatever is opposed to God. Sin has weakened the powers of man, destroyed his inner harmony, and hinders full union with God. It is the task of asceticism to overcome all obstacles to this union. When the faculties are well ordered and the body subjected to the spirit, and the spirit to God, complete harmony will again be restored and complete union with God attained. The more man approaches God through asceticism, the more God draws near to man through mystical graces. The close union of God with the soul of man leads finally to a ‘transformation in God’, in which lies the highest beatitude. God fills heaven and earth, but even more blessed and fruitful is the manner in which He remains in those souls ‘who resemble the heavens through the height of their heavenly contemplation and the breadth of their burning love’ (‘Paternoster’, lines 28-30). It is obvious that David of Augsburg’s writings deal with both ascetical and mystical aspects of the spiritual life; in fact, our author has been generally regarded as one of the first German ‘mystics’ to write in the vernacular. However, in the light of the present investigation it may not be amiss to suggest that his forte is essentially asceticism, in writing about which he expresses himself more freely and with greater originality than when treating of mysticism.’

De Exterioris et Interioris Hominis Compositione secundum triplicem statum incipientium, proficientium et perfectorum (written after 1240). This work actually comprises three different treatises: Formula de compositione hominis exterioris ad novitios; Formula de interioris hominis reformatione ad proficientes; De septem processibus religiosorum. De Exterioris (…) Compositione, which is deeply inspired by writings of Augustine, Gregory the Great, Bernard of Clairveaux, and William of St. Thierry (esp. Espistola ad Fratres de Monte Dei), has survived in many manuscripts, both partially and as a whole. The Quaracchi edition (see below) already lists more than 370 (Latin) manuscripts, and that list is not complete (to be added in particular many vernacular adaptations. See for instance Ruh, in Verfasser Lexikon 3rd ed. II, 49 (on German versions) and 51 (on Dutch versions). Several Middle English manuscripts are discussed in Michael G.

[In the introduction to his edition of the work, David Flood makes clear that David was asked repeatedly to provide for simple brethren and novices a concise, paraphrasing commentary on the Rule of Francis. Some elements are worth mentioning. In the prologue, David remarks, among other things (ed. Flood, 205): ‘Tribus autem de causis ordinem istum Deo revelante instituit. Primo ut esset portus salutis naufragantibus in saeculi pelago ut qui sine periculo non possunt in saeculari conversatione subsistere ad huius ordinis naviculam confugiant et salventur. Secundo ut esset desiderantibus ad altioris praemii gloriam pertingere quam communis salvandorum multitudo assequitur schola exercitationis in arduis virtutum studiis, scilicet, paupertatis humilitatis castitatis obedientiae patientiae et caritatis et internae devotionis et purae orationis et aliarum virtutum; quarum copiam plantandi opportunitatem habet qui voluerit in isto ordine magis quam alibi si fideliter ad hoc laborat, sicut ostendunt plurimi in ordine sanctificati et ad indicium suae sanctitatis gloriosis miraculis coruscantes, quorum pauci generaliter canonisati sunt in ecclesia, reliqui vero non inferiori gloria fulgent in caelo. Tertio ut ordo iste etiam aliis sit in aedificationem per praedicationis doctrinam et vivendi exemplum et orationis suffragium, ut hoc triplici funiculo qui difficile rumpitur peccatores extrahat de luto faecis et ad caelestia secum ducat.’ In the commentary on the tenth chapter of the rule (ed. Flood, 232-236), David deals at length with the various vices that stand in the way of a perfect religious life, as well as with the virtues of humilita and patientia. In his conclusion (ed. Flood, 239), David remarks: ‘Quia fratribus nostris illiteratis et novitiis regulam legere et exponere saepius a superioribus meis iussus sum, ut magis haberem in promptu quae dicerem ne oblivio tolleret simpliciter propter me notavi ista non propter alios qui nec indigent mea eruditione nec curant, cum unicuique per se intelligentia sua liceat utiliora et meditari et notare sine praeiudicio alicuius, quia magis intelligentes multo meliores regulae intellectus inveniunt quos etiam ego libenter amplectar ubi potero reperire. Si cui vero displicet quod notavi ad hoc non dissentio quia et mihi fateor in pluribus minus placere quam vellem. Ideo nulli vel scribendum vel legendum importune ingero sicut nemo ad potum aquae simpliciter cogi solet.’]

Tractatus de Inquisitione Haereticorum: MS Augsburg UB, Cod. II.1.2° 85 (15th cent.) ff. 143ra-vb [De Haeresi Waldensium]. For an edition, see: Tractatus de Inquisitione Haereticorum, ed. W. Preger, in Abhandlungen der historischen Klasse der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften 14 (1878), 181-235. We are in fact dealing with two versions, both of which amount to manuals for the confrontation of Waldensians. An original shorter version is probably a Dominican production. Yet a longer version is assigned by W. Preger to David von Augsburg. The first part of this longer version (chapters 1-27) provides a representation of the Waldensians and their 'erroneous' doctrines, sometimes mixing up Waldensian and Albigensian tenets. The scond part (chapters 28-45 in the long version ascribed to David) provided guidance how to deal with the interrogation and confrontation of heretics. A critical edition by P. Segl seems in preparation. See also the remarks in A. Czerwon, Predigt gegen Ketzer. Studien zu den lateinischen Sermones Bertholds von Regensburg, Spätmittelalter, Humanismus, Reformation, 57 (Tübingen, 2011), 54-55.

Sermones: o.a. MS Freiburg, Franciscan Library 117/I-II. These sermons are probably not by David but the work of the Franciscan Augusburg circle. See the remarks of Kurt Ruh.

Clm 9667 ff. 185ra-189b] The so-called 'A version' has been edited in Deutsche Mystiker des 14. Jahrhunderts, ed. Franz Pfeiffer (Leipzig, 1845), I, 309-397. The 'B-version', which seemingly is the German version composed by David himself has been edited by Kurt Ruh in Kleine deutsche Prosadenkmäler des Mittelalters, Heft 1 (München: Wilhelm Fink Verlag, 1965) & Franziskanisches Schrifttum, ed. K., Ruh, I, 221-247. Georg Steer (1987), 101ff has given an analysis of Die Sieben Staffeln des Gebets, basing himself on Ruh’s 1965 edition. Steer suggests that for David man is created in God’s image. Yet this similitude can not be reached with fasts and charitable works alone. Prayer is the only proper road (ein inganc ze gottis biwonunge). David’s depiction of the gates and roads of prayer leading to spiriual perfection is connected with the description of the entry in the tempel in Ezechiel 40, 22. The seven steps described by David are not just seven steps in prayer, but stand for mystical stages in the ‘einunge’ of man with God. The first grade is the ‘genote gebet mit dem munde’, that is intense prayer with attention for the words themselves. The heart has to be with the words, and should not be disturbed by ‘unstetekeit’ (the lack of constancy that David elsewhere in his works calls the evagatio mentis). The second grade focuses on seeking God in His word, by chewing and re-chewing His word in prayer (‘gotti wort kuwen und trueken mit deme gebette’), and so derive from it its sweet savour. In the third grade, the words of prayer are bypassed. And the heart now fills with the ‘begirde ze gotte.’ Even higher is the fourth grade, in which our mind is illuminated (‘Da wirt du verstantnisse erluhtet ze erkennende unsihtige und himelsche tougeni’) with many invisible and heavenly things, and in which we beget a deeper insight in the meaning of the Holy Scriptures. In the fifth grade, our heart gets intoxicated in the contemplation of God, and all the powers of the soul become ‘ein geist mit gotte.’ This leads to the sixth grade of prayer, the highest grade in this life, which truely is called contemplatio, and in which man is taken out of himself into heavenly silence and divine rest (‘ueber sich selben gezueket in eine himelsche stille und in eine gotliche ruowe’), at what point man is united with God in love. Due to his weakness, man can only maintain this stage for moments at a time. The final stage of prayer is equated with the visio beatifica in the afterlife, where the angels and the saints see God ‘von antlutze zu antluze.’

Herre got, himlischer vater, du bist ein lebentiger brunne allez gutez…; expl.: Got bringe uns zu der hohster warheit offenunge; da ist aller freuden vollunge. Amen. this manuscript is a veritable treasure house for German and Latin works of David von Augsburg and Berthold von Regensburg, as well as related texts]; cgm 354 ff. 99va-107rb; cgm 7264; Heidelberg, Universitätsbibliothek Pal.

There are strong parallels between David’s Erklärung and passages in De Compositione and the Siebel Vorregeln. In De Compositione III, David discusses three types of prayer and their utility (which appear again in the Sieben Vorregeln der Tugend and also form the subject of the Latin treatise De Oratione, and the first three steps of the Sieben Staffeln des Gebetes/Septem Gradus Orationis). In his treatment of the second type, David illustrates by means of the seven pater noster petitions the role of human affactions and emotions in prayer, focusing on the conformity of the human will to the will of God and the ways to obtain a union with the Divine. The German Pater Noster explication provides a to the point moral and theological elucidation of the pater noster text, and finishes with seven reasons why we should pray it frequently (lines 406-430 in the edition of Schwabb, pp. 104-105) ‘Daz ein ist, so wir bitten umbe das ubel, daz wir getan haben (…) Daz ander, so wir biten das uns got behuete vor chunftigen sunden (…) Das dritte ist, daz uns got erloes vor dem uebel, daz wir mit sunden verdienen (…) Das vierde ist, daz uns got fuege, des wir hie notdurftich sin zesel und ze libe (…) Daz funfte ist, daz uns got gebe alle zeit und an allen steten daz beste und daz wagiste zerchenen und zetuon nach sinem volbrahtem willen (…) Daz sehste ist, daz wir biten, daz got als suezchlichen und als genadichlichen in uns und als statichlichen hie mit uns won (…) Daz siebent ist, daz vor allen dingen des obristen chuniges er fur sich sol gen, und sin name gehoehet und geert sol werden nach siner gotlichen werdicheit im himel und uf erde, als daz zimlich und reht ist.’

It will be clear that a lot of work still remains to be done. A good starting point are the reflections of Kurt Ruh, who has aptly stated: `David's deutsche Schriften bilden den Kern eines aszetisch-mystischen Schrifttums, das im Franziskanerkonvent Augsburg (und Regensburg) seine Mitte hat. Außer den in den aufgeführten Corpus-Hss. Übergelieferten `davidischen' Schriften gehören dazu: `Der Baumgarten geistlicher Herzen', die `Augsburger Klarissenregel', die Üebertragung der Regel Nikolaus IV. Von Jahre 1289, die Redaktion der sog. `Klosterpredigten' (Üeberlieferungsgruppe Z) Bertholds von Regensburg.' Verfasserlexikon, II, 57. Another aspect that also still needs attention is how David's works and the wider cloud of works ascribed to him were disseminated in other languages. For works of David of Augsburg in Medieval Dutch, see for instance: MSS Ghent, UB 258; Hamburg, Stadtsbibl. Theol. 2194; Trier 811; Strasbourg, Univ. L. 179; Brussels, Bibl. Royale 5144; Den Haag, KB O.108 & X.51; Utrecht, UB 1019 & 1020; Amsterdam, UB I.G. 40; etc.

Detmarus Lubecensis (Detmar von Lübeck, d. ca. 1400)

OM. German friar from the Baltic region. Teacher and historian. Entered the Franciscan order in 1363 (the St. Catherine convent in Lübeck). Reading master of the Lübeck convent between 1368 and 1380 (also known as member of that convent until 1394). At the request of Thomas Muorkerke and Herman Langhe (judicial functionaries of the town of Lübeck) he wrote a continuation to the so-called Stades-Chronik of Joannes Rufus (Johann Rode). Detmar's work was conceived to provide moral guidance to men and women within the Lübeck patrician circles. At first, Detmar made a continuation for this Lübeck city chronicle for the years 1350-1386, with later additions until 1395, and with recourse to the (also Franciscan?) Annales Lubicenses. On top of that, he totally reworked his materials, with recourse to many universal-historical compilations, to produce different versions of a universal chronicle (first for the period 1105-1386 and later for the period 1101-1395). This universal chronicle itself was continuated by others until 1400.

Didacus de Landa Caldéron (Diego de Landa Caldéron, d. 1579)

OFM. Spanish friar from Cifuentes. He entered the Franciscan order in the San Juan de los Reyes friary, Toledo (1541). In 1549 he traveled with Nicolás de Albalate to Yucatan, where he was assigned to the Izamal mission. Later he became in that region the first guardian of the new Franciscan friary. Immediately after his arrival, Diego began his studies of Maya (under Luis de Villalpando) and developed a keen interest in Indian culture, as can be seen in his treatment of Indian culture in his famous Relación (at the same time, Diego abhorred the surviving non-Christian practices among the natives). Following upon his guardian position, Diego served as provincial definitor and as the guardian of the Mérida friary. In the late 1550s, he was elected custos and represented the Yucatan Franciscans in Guatemala before the colonial government. On his return to Yucatan, he brought with him an image of Our Lady of Izamal, which became a highly venerated object. In 1561, he was elected the first provincial of the newly erected Yucatan and Guatemala province (separated from the Mexican Holy Gospel province in 1559). Shortly thereafter, he became involved with the inquisitorial proceedings against the Indian population of Yucatan, who were accused of idolatry. Diego came down rather hard on the Indians, which resulted into a conflict about alleged power abuse with the newly arrived Franciscan bishop Toral of Yucatan. Diego had to defend himself in Spain in 1563. The proces before the Council of the Indian mission and the Castilan Franciscan province took a number of years. He was only completely absolved from the charges against him in January 1569. When Bishop Toral died in 1571, Diego was appointed as his successor by King Philip II. He reached his new diocese in 1573. As a bishop, Diego had numerous conflicts with local governors, in particular regarding their treatment of the Indian population. In the context of one these disputes, Diego traveled to Mexico in 1576. After his return, Diego visited the Tabasco region, where he was again unpleasantly surprised by the evidence of sorcery and idolatry found among the locals. Diego died on April 29, 1579, in Mérida.

Didacus de Moxena (Diego de Moxena/Diego Moxena, fl. ca. 1415)

OM. Spanish (Castilian) Conventual friar, probably from Castile. Member of the household of pope Benedict XIII in 1405, and took part in the Council of Constance. On 9 June 1415, he sent several documents and wrote a letter to Ferdinand I of Aragon explaining the Council's dealings, urging the king to attend and suggesting him to reconsider his support for Benedict XIII. This letter has become of interest for Petrarca scholars, as Diego made avid use of Petrarch's Liber sine nomine.

Didacus Estella (Didacus Stella/Diego Estella/Diego de Estella/Diego de Ballesteros y Cruzas, 1524-1578)

OFM. Spanish friar, preacher and mystical writer. Born in Estella. Studied in Toulouse and Salamanca. He entered the Franciscan order in the San Francisco de Salamanca friary at the age of seventeen in 1541, taking the name Diego Estella. Between 1552 and 1554, he accompagnied infante Juana, the sister of Filip II of Spain, to Portugal. He might have returned to Spain in 1554, to become active as preacher and religious author. Thereafter, he lived in Toledo and, between 1560-69, as preacher at the court of Philip II in Madrid. Because of his criticism of high officials and the courtly way of life, and also because of his imprudent accusations against his fellow friar Bernardo Fresneda, bishop of Cuenca and royal confessor, he eventually was removed from the Spanish court. He was forced to retire to the Salamanca friary, but again was denounced after he had sent false accusations about others to Rome, leading to a legal process and a temporary exile to the Toro friary. He was allowed back to Salamance in 1573, where he became active as a preacher and produced many writings, which were printed with the support of his brother. His mystical works, all of which emphasise the Love of God (the only proper Good) and the importance of leaving behind all the incompatible and improper vanities of the world (in order to make proper contemplation and a proper movement of the will/heart towards loving God, the only Good, possible: hence we are dealing with purification as precondition for true love), were widely disseminated in Spain and translated in various languages, and he is regarded as one of the most important Spanish religious authors of his time. Some of his works, notably his ‘commentary’ on Luke, brought him into longstanding conflicts with the Spanish inquisition, especially between 1575 and his death on August 1, 1578.

Libro de la Vanidad del Mundo: MS Oxford, Bodl. Lyell Empt. 15A (an. 1606) (versio Anglica). For editions, see: Libro de la vanidad del mundo (Toledo, 1562/ Salamanca, 1574/.../ Barcelona, 1883/ ed. Sagüéz Azcona, Madrid, 1980). The 1562 edition counts 120 chapters. Its reworking from 1574 counts no less than 300 chapters. The work is divided in three parts, urging its readers to despise worldly matters, and to seek out God through love alone. The Libro de la vanidad del mundo had a large immediate success, to which also testify the many subsequent editions and translations. In Spain the work was often re-issued, sometimes under a slightly different title. See for instance: Tratado de la vanidad del mundo: dividido en tres libros, con sus indices muy copiosos, y asuntos predicables, discurriendo por todas las dominicas, y Fiestas del año; y al fin un tratado De meditaciones devotisimas, del amor de Dios (Madrid: D.P. Marin, 1775) [Accessible via Google Books]. Italian translations appeared in Florence in 1573 and 1581, and again in Venice in 1589 [Dispregio Della Vanità Del Mondo, 4 Vols.]. Latin translations of the first edition appeared in 1585 (De contemnendis mundi vanitatibus libri tres, trans. P. Bourguignon SJ (Cologne: Birckmann, 1585)) and 1617 (Contemptus Vanitatum Mundi (Cologne: Joannes Critius, 1617), both Latin editions accessible via Google Books). The first English translation (on the basis of a prior Italian translation) appeared in Douai (Doornik) in 1584: The contempte of the world and the vanities thereof. This English version was reprinted as The contempte of the world and the vanities thereof, English Recusant Literature, 1558-1640, Vol. 242 (Ilkley, 1975). A French translation of the first edition appeared in Lyon, in 1580, whereas a new French translation appeared as L’oeuvre entier et parfait de la vanité du monde, trans. G. Chappuis (Paris, 1587). There also are German (Cologne, 1586), Polish (1611), Syriac (1724) and Arabic (1739-1740), Flemish, and Chech translations.]

In Sacrosanctum Iesu Christi Domini Nostri Evangelium Secundum Lucam Enarrationes, Two Volumes (Salamanca, 1574-1575/Lyons, 1580/Salamanca, 1582); In sanctum Jesu Christi evangelium secundum Lucam enarrationes, 2 Vols. (Antwerp: Peter Beller, 1583. Re-issued in 1593, 1599–1600, 1606–1608, 1612; 1622, 1653–55); In Sanctum Iesu Christi Evangelium secundum Lucam, 2 Vols. (Lyon, 1592). In all, if we can believe P. Sagüéz Azcona, 'Fray Diego de Estella. Nuevos datos biobibliográficos sobre todas sus obras', Revista Española de Teología 44 (1984), 195-215, esp. 202-205, this commentary, which was also deliberately made for preaching purposes, went through seventeen editions until 1680. The 1582 Salamanca edition is now in any case available sur Google Books. An English translation of Diego’s commentary on Luke 15, 11-32 from the 1592 edition is given by Robert J. Karris, in Franciscan Studies 61 (2003), 97-234. [ This massive work, meant to facilitate the work of preachers, is an amalgam of exegetical, medieval theological and patristic information. Diego re-used parts of his Libro de la vanidad del mundo and furiously attacks the new heresies of the time, notably Protestantism, deriding as well the slackening morals of ecclesiastics and other authority figures. In that sense, Diego’s criticisms sometimes resemble the attacks of Erasmus (yet without the ironical undertone of the Humanist). For dogmatic and disciplinary reasons, the book drew the attention of the Inquisition, which censured the first two editions. Eventually, the ban was lifted, after which the work found a wide reading public during the late sixteenth and seventeenth century.]

Meditaciones devotísimas del amor de Dios (Salamanca: Matias Gast, 1576). A modern edition by J.-B. Gomis appeared in Misticos Franciscanos Españoles Tomo III, Biblioteca de Autores Cristianos (Madrid, 1949), 55-367. [This work, in a way complementary to the Libro de la vanidad, provides some hundred practical and at the same time very affective meditative exercises. The whole book centres on the love of God. Diego used Juan de Cazalla’s Lumbre del Alma as a major source. The Meditaciones devotísimas, together with the Libro de la vanidad, are the most influential texts of Diego. The Meditaciones received translations into Italian (1584), French (by G. Chappuis, Paris, 1586), Latin (De Amor Dei Meditationes piissimae (Cologne: Balthasar Clipeus, 1602)), German (1607), and English (1873).]

Modo de predicar y modus concionandi (Salamanca, 1570-1576). This Spanish text was later translated (and transformed) into Latin [De Ratione Concionandi, sive rhetorica ecclesiastica (Salamanca: Juan Bautista de Terranueva, 1576 & 1596/Venice, 1584 & 1598/Cologne, 1586, 1587, 1594, 1596 & 1611 (together with the Eclesiastica Rhetorica of Luís de Granada)/Lyons, 1592/Paris, 1635 (with the the Eclesiastica Rhetorica of Luís de Granada), Rome, 1693 (as: Introductio ad Lecturae Theologicae et Praedicationis Evangelicae Officium pro religionis seraphicae studentibus.

Pío Sagüéz Azcona, 2 Vols (Madrid: Istituto Miguel de Cervantes, 1951). [advocates the patristic homily.]

Explanatio in Psalmum CXXXVI super flumina Babylonis. This text normally was printed together with the Modus Concionandi, for example in 1576: Modus Concionandi et Explanatio in Psalmum CXXXVI (Salamanca, 1576). [The Explanatio contains six Lenten sermons, preached at Salamanca. The themes of the sermons are in tune with the other works of Diego.

Didacus Maria Tafuri (Diego Tafuri de Lequile/Diego Lequile, 1604-1673)

OFMRef. Italian friar. Italian friar active in the Naples Kingdom (San Niccolò province). Theology lector, preacher and court historian for the Austrian Archdukes. Author of the Hierarchia Franciscana in quatuor facies historice distributa, 2 Vols. (Rome, 1664), in which he also also provided a number of autobiographical statements (pp. II, 549-556). From this we can gather that he was born in a family of ordinary people, and that his older friar, who died young, was a secular priest and professor of theology. Diego entered the order in 1622 in the Reformed St. Nicholas province. He made his profession on 8 November 1623. Following his philosophical and theological studies, he made name as a preacher, both in Italy and beyond, and also during the general chapter meetings of the order. Some of this can be seen in his Novo quaresimale ripieno di pensieri from 1650. In that year, the Archduke Ferdinand-Charles appointed him preacher in Innsbruck. As a result, Diego Lequile became for about eight years a court preacher, counselor, confessor and historian for the archduke and his family, starting from June 1651. During these years, Diego also wrote a songbook, set on the music of A.-M. Viviani, and a number of eulogical historical texts on the Habsburg family. As a remuneration for his services, Emperor Ferdinand III made him titular bishop of Almissa/Omis, in Dalmatia, in 1653. Six years later, in 1659, Archduke Sigmund-Franz, sent him with a letter of recommendation of the Emperor to Rome, where he became the personal theologian of Cardinal Girolamo Colonna. Diego joined the Roman reformed Franciscan province in 1665.

Diego José de Cádiz (José Francisco López-Caamaño y García Pérez, 1743–1801) beatus

OFMCap. Spanish friar from Andalusia, missionary. After the death of his mother, when he was nine years old, the family moved from Cadiz to Grazamela, when he entered a boys school served by Dominican teachers. Apparently José was not a very adept student. This also was observed by the local Observant Franciscans, who denied his entry among them because of his lack of intellectual prowess. José subsequently joined the Capuchins, at the age of 15, fulfilling his noviciate obligations in Sevilla, receiving the name Didacus Josephus. he made his full profession on 31 march 1759, and was ordained priest in 1766. After training in Capuchin schools, Diego became an itinerant preacher in and after 1771, team preaching in rural areas, especially in Andalusia, as part of the Capuchin rural mission effort. He apparently developed into a gifted preacher, and was an acknowledged propagator of traditional Catholicism in the face of new modernist enlightenment ideals. Although he at times drew the attention of the inquisition, he was invited to preach at the royal court in Madrid in 1783, discovering that he was unable to make the courtiers more devout and less devoted to worldly pursuits. Gradually, his growing reputation as a proponent of Catholic orthodoxy made that he was given a position as consultant of the Spanish inquisition, and as synodal examiner. He also was given honorary doctorates at the university of Granada. Apparently some 2500 of his sermons still survive in several collections. He died in Ronda (Málaga) on 24 March 1801. Diego was officially beatified by the Catholic Church on 10 April 1894.

Diego Valades (1533- after 1582)

OFM. Mexican Mestizo friar from Tlaxcala. As a young man, he worked as a translator for Peter of Ghent (Pedro de Gante) in the school of San José. Joined the order himself in 1549. For twenty years, he worked as a missionary and language scholar in Latin America, well-acquianted with the mexican, tarasco and otomí languages. In 1571, he is found at the Franciscan general chapter of Rome, and when he became involved with preparing the Itinerarium of Focher for the printing press in Sevilla. In 1575, he is again in Rome. In that year he was made general procurator for the order. Four years later, in 1579, he published in Perugia his famous Rethorica christiana, which combined his knowledge of missionary method, indigenous languages and humanist inclinations. He was, in fact, the first Mexican born person to have a book published in Europe.

Diego Ordóñez (1491-1607?!)

OM & OFM. Spanish friar from Salamanca. He was a precocious student, who started his study of theology at the age of twelve. Appointed archdeacon of Salamanca Cathedral still in his teens. In 1504 or 1505, he entered the Franciscan order in the San Francisco friary. He taught Scotist theology for fourteen years, to retire thereafter, in 1527, to the recollect friary of Villalón, serving intermittently as novice master and as guardian. In 1539/40, he would have traveled to Guatemala, together with other friars from the Santiago province. Worked there until 1600: active as custodian and in 1566 first provincial minister of the Guatemaa province. Made consultant for the inquisition in 1571, for which he transferred to Mexico. Back in Guatemala by 1575, when he began to be active as a religious author. At the age of 100 years, he went back to Spain to retire, only to return to Guatemala to continue his missionary work. He would have died at Zacatecas on 17 July 1607, supposedly at the improbable age of 117 (maybe we should reconsider his birth date?)

Dietrich (‘Bruder Dietrich’/Dietrich von Zengg/Theodoricus Croata, fl. c. 1420)

OM. Croation Franciscan friar from Zengg (or Senj), known for his Practica, issued around 1420 a joachite prophecy about a strong new emperor and a renovation of the church in the years after 1500. His prophecy, which has survived in several manuscripts, was printed d. 1500 in Augsburg as ‘Einblattdruck’ by Johann Froschauer, after which several reprints followed throughout the sixteenth and early seventeenth century. There is some discussion concerning the attribution of the work.

Dietrich Colde/Kolde/Koelde (Theodoricus a Monasterio/Dierick/Didrick/Diederick/Dietrich von Münster/von Osenbruck, 1435 – Louvain, 1515)

OESA and later OMObs. German friar. Born in Münster in or around 1435. Joined the Austin Friars in Osnabrück in 1453 and studied at Cologne University. Studied the artes for two years and theology for five to six years, before he became cursor or reading master in 1482. By then, he had already a reputation as preacher in the Rhine valley and The Netherlands Before 1480, he published some early versions of his De Kerstenen Spiegel (entitled: Een scoon spieghel der simpelre menschen). Between 1483 and 1486 he transfered to the Franciscan Observants of the Cologne province. Lived and preached for several years in the Bodendaal/Boetendaal convent, near Brussels. Very active in caring for the sick during the Plague outburst in the Brussels area in 1488/89-1491 (the town was besieged by Albert of Saxony). Also active as peace broker and convent reformer. Was appointed praedicator generalis for the Rhineland and Westphalia in 1491 by the Archbishop of Cologne. Guardian in the Observant Franciscan convents of Brussels (c. 1495), Brühl (near Cologna, 1497), Bodendaal/Boetendaal (1502), Antwerp (1508), and Louvain (1510). In between active as definitor for his order province (1502) Over the years he had good contacts with the court of bishop David of Burgundy and with many leading humanists, and was admired both for his learning and for his piety by Erasmus. Dietrich died in Louvain in 1515. Aside from the various versions of his Christenspiegel/Der Kerstenen Spiegel, a categetical ‘Andachtsbuch’ that received more than 45 editions in the Dutch and German vernaculars as well as in Latin (entitled: Manuale Simplicium) before c. 1560 (and therewith is one of the most succesful catechetical works of the period, maybe also because Dietrich incorporate many well-known prayers and devotional exercises, cf. Deschamps, (1970/71)), Dietrich is known for his sermons and a range of smaller Latin and vernacular religious texts that betray a special predilection for the passion of Christ and the sorrows of the Virgin Mary.

works

Een scoon spieghel der simpelre menschen (s.l., ca. 1477; Gouda: Geraerd Leeu, 1478; Cologne, Arnt ab Aich, c. 1480; etc.). It amounts to a first (Dutch) version of Dietrich's more well-known Der Kerstenen Spiegel, consisting of 19/24 chapters. It appeared together with Dietrich’s Sint Bernards Visioen and an Oratio op den soeten Naem Jesus. This text, as well as the first editions of the revised version (Der Kerstenen Spiegel), appeared during Dietrich’s Augustinian period.

Der Kerstenen Spiegel. It is a reworked version of the older Een scoon spieghel, containing 46 to 52 chapters, depending on the manuscript/edition. Der Kerstenen Spiegel survives in several manuscripts (a.o. Münster, Priesterseminar G. 210, ff. 1r-112v (damaged, c. 1490); Trier, StB 833, ff. 135r-143v (first ten chapters, 15th cent.), and in a large number of editions. No surviving exemplar of the oldest known edition of Der Kerstenen Spiegel (Cologne: Arnold von Aachen, 1480?) is known to have survived. The oldest definite version that has survived is Der Kerstenen Spieghel (Antwerp: Gerard Leeu, 20 October 1485). Thereafter, we can trace a long range of additional editions (a.o. Gouda, c. 1486-89/Antwerp: Gerard Leeu, c. 1486-88/Cologne, 1486/Delft: Christiaan Snelleart, c. 1487/s.l., s.a. c.1489/Cologne: Johann Kolhoff, 1489/Delft: Christian Snellaert, c. 1492 (2x)/Lübeck: Stephan Arndes, 1497/Schoenhoven, 1498/Cologne: Johann Kolhoff, 1498/Lübeck: Hermann Baumgart von Ketwich, 1500; Cologne: Sylvester, 1500/ Cologne, 1501/etc….). Albert Groeteken (1955), 394-396. also mentions a large catechism of no less than 122 chapters, entitled Spiegel des Christenglaubens. See for a survey of the printed editions until 1708 also P. Bahlmann, Deutschlands Katholische Katechismen bis zum Ende des sechzehnten Jahrhunderts (Münster, 1894), 18-19; B. De Troeyer (1970); B. De Troeyer (1974); B. de Troeyer, VL² V, 20-21, B. De Troeyer (1983), 187ff, and the appendices to the modern edition of Drees. For modern editions, see: Chr. Moufang, Katholische Katechismen des 16. Jahrhunderts in deutscher Sprache I (Mainz, 1881), I-L [in High German translation]; Der Christenspiegel des Dietrich Kolde von Münster, ed. Clemens Drees, Franziskanische Forschungen, 9 (Werl, 1954) [critical edition of the final version]. The Latin versions of the first version of the work (entitled Manuale Simplicium) was first printed in Cologne (1477), and also saw repeated reworked editions. Der Kerstenen Spiegel (the versions that contain 46 to 52 chapters) is a handbook for the lay, providing the reader ‘alle dat noet is te weten totter zielen salicheit.’ It comprises the apostolic creed, a catechetical explanation of the pater noster, the Ave Maria, the Ten Commandments, instruction about the basics of trinitarian theology, Christology, and eschatology, prayers to strengthen the faith, a treatment of the sins and virtues, prayer and meditation exercises for the various times of the day (in the morning, at the table, at certain hours, in the evening), specific instructions for confession and communion, as well as guidelines for parents who want to raise their children. The remainder of the book includes an ars moriendi (that also appeared separately), and additional prayers. Benjamin De Troeyer (1983) writes on p. 186: ‘Man hat den ‘Kerstenspiegel unseren ersten Volkskatechismus genannt. Aber er ist mehr. Die Belehrungen wechseln ab mit Gebeten und frommen Übungen, in denen das Leiden Christi und die Marienverehrung einen bevorzugten Platz einnehmen. So ist in diesem Katechismus, der zugleich ein Gebetbuch ist, das Didaktische mit dem Aktiven und Affektiven verknüpft.’

Das Testament Eynes Waren Cristen Mynschen (Lübeck, before 1491?/Lübeck, 1492/ etc.). The work was included in some editions of the final Kerstenspieghel. Modern edition in Drees, Der Christenspiegel, 367-372. A version also has survived in manuscript format: Dyt is eyn heylsam testament: MS Wolfenbüttel, Helmstedt 1308 ff. 1v-10r. The work amounts to a manual to help the reader to prepare himself daily for his approaching death. Following the Franciscan idea that every person should make his spiritual testament in time, the work argues that the believer should testify from his own will that he wants to die in the faith, that he is prepared to confess his sins fully, and that he is willing to undertake the appropriate penance, and to make peace with possible enemies/opponents, including compensation for misdeeds. This whole religious teaching is grouped around similes in which Christ and the saints are central.

Een corte oefeninghe vander Passien ons heeren ihesu cristi uutgegeven by brueder Dierick van munster (Antwerp: Adriaan van Liesveld, 1498-1500). This is a very short work (only 8 pages in the printed edition). It contains within it a prayer to Christ (which begins: ‘O Herr Jesu Verhoore mij: Door Dijn grondelose barmherticheyt bidde ic dy…’) and a prayer to Mary (een schoon ghebet zu onser liever vrouwen). The first of these prayers amounts to an extended Dutch version of the already existing Anima Christi prayer. Contrary to the Latin original (which contains 12 verses), Dietrichs Dutch reworking contains 30 verses. Dietrich was not the first to rework the Anima Christi text into Dutch. His own effort was followed by another ‘Franciscan’ Dutch translation of the text, which appeared in the 1518 edition of the Cransken van Minnen. A German translation of Dietrichs Anima Christi prayer appeared in Groeteken, Dietrich Kolde (1935), 129-130. Outside of Een corte oefeninghe vander Passien ons heeren ihesu cristi, Dietrich's Anima Christi prayer text can be found in MS Brussels Royal Library 21665 ff. 113-116 (early 16th cent. inc: O heere Jesu Xre verhoort myn doer u grondelose barmherticheit…). It was also edited separately in Goyens, Un héros du Vieux-Bruxelles, 150-152. For a German translation, see also Groeteken (1935), 129-130.

Dit synt die seven getzide seyr devotelichen geprediget durch den gelarden und furigen geistlichen herren broder Dederich van Munster des observanten ordens (Cologne: Johann van Sollyngen, 1518/Cologne: S. Lupus, ca. 1526). This work was also included in chapter 25 of the final version of the Kerstenspieghel. It amounts to exercises in reciting the Pater Noster prayer, each time with short meditations on the Passion; meditations to be held at matins, primes, terts, sexts, nones, vespers, and complines. The booklet closes with additional prayers. Groeteken (1955), 400-402 has published these meditations in a modern German translation.

Sermoenen, ed. Goyens, Un héros du Vieux-Bruxelles. Le Bienheureux Thierri Coelde. Notes et documents, 55-75 [sermons on the love and compassion of God, faith, diligence, and Mary’s ascent into heaven. Goyens also presents additional texts (75-91), of which the ascription to Dietrich Colde can not be verified]; Sermoenen, ed. M.G. des Marez, Revue des bibliothèques et archives Bruxelles 5:5-6 (1907). A number of these Sermoenen are also known in manuscript format. See for instance MS Brussels, City Archive MS 2915 ff, 71-79 & ff. 79-88 (c. 1500: two Dutch sermons on the love of God and Mary’s ascent into heaven).

Collacie (on Apocalypse 3,15): o.a. MS Stuttgart Württembergische Landesbibliothek Cod. Theol. 8° 141 ff. 21r-29r. It amounts to a late 15th century Dutch collacie or sermon on Apocalypse 3:15, replete with admonitions on the importance of listening to sermons (as important as receiving the host), and on the ways in which to obtain divine grace; reaching back to Bonaventure’s Sermo de modo vivendi. Some other texts in the Stuttgart manuscript might also be written by Coelde. Cf. De Troeyer (1983), 198 & Historisches Jahrbuch 12 (1891), 56. For editions see: Collacie (on Apocalypse 3,15), ed. Ernsing, Historisches Jahrbuch 12 (1891), 56 [partial edition] & the second volume of Franziskanisches Schrifttum, ed. Kurt Ruh. See also: Werinhard Einhorn, ‘Dietrich Kolde (um 1435-1515). ‘Wärest du doch kalt oder heiß!’. Eine Predigt über Offenbarung 3,15’, in: Franziskanische Stimmen. Zeugnisse aus acht Jahrhunderten, ed. Paul Zahner (Munich-St. Anna: Edition Coelde-Butzon & Bercker, 2002), 101-105.

Boechelgen van ynwendiger oeffnungen: o.a. MS Brno (Brünn), Universitätsbibliothek 69 ff. 383r-419r (late fifteenth cent., inserted in books of hours). A partial edition of this Boechelgen van ynwendiger oeffnungen is included in Der Kerstenen Spiegel (Cologne: Johann Kolhoff, 1489). The work provides three devotional exercises for each day of the week.

Een hant vol wysheyden: o.a. MS Brussels, Royal Library 15003-15048 ff. 364 (no. 43, 16th cent.) Also survived in Latin, as the Doctrina Salutifera: MS ? The Dutch version was edited as Een hant vol wysheyden, ed. Schlager (1907), 21-24 & ed. M. Verjans, Ons geestelijk erf 7 (1933), 351-355. Reaching back to David of Augsburg’s Der geistliche Hand, the work provides guidelines for religious prayers, devotional acts, confession and the reception of the host during all hours, days, fortnights, months and years of man’s life.

Die doernen Crone onses heren Ihesu Cristi: MS Darmstadt Landes- und Hochschulbibliothek 1742 (c. 1532). This work, Die doernen Crone onses heren Ihesu Cristi, alias Die Corte Doernen Crone ons heren Jhesu Christi, ter Gou tot die collatie broeders was chapter 52 in the Deventer edition (1492-1500) of the Kerstenspieghel. It also was edited separately in Dutch. A.o.: Die corte doernen crone (Gouda, 1496); Dye corten doornen Crone (Amsterdam: Doen Pietersz., 1518-1532) etc. For a complete survey, see B. De Troeyer, (1983), 191-192. A modern edition appeared in Drees, Der Christenspiegel, 337-345. For a German translation, see also Groeteken (1935), 113-118. This work consists of a series of meditations on the suffering of Christ (and in particular on the crown of thorns), each of which start or finish with an Ave Christe formula: ‘Wees gegruet goedertieren ihesu criste, du biste vol ghenaden…’ Each of these meditations was meant to be undertaken on Sunday, ‘kniend oder stehend oder liegend vor dem Bilde unseres Herrn…’ Depending on the edition, the work contains 17 to 22 meditations. As such, the work might be a reworking of existing spirititual exercises, and Dietrich probably did not much more than reorganising them into one booklet.]

Eene sonderlinge lesse om in alle duechden toe te nemen, edited in the anonymous Wyngaert van Sinte Franciscus (Antwerp: Eckert van Homberch, 1518), f. 382. The kernel of this text is that man: ‘immer mit herzlichem Begehren verlangen soll, Gott zu gefallen, ihm treu zu dienen und mit ihm ewig zu regieren.’

Liedeken van devocien: Och edel ziele mercke (religious song), edited in several late fifteenth-, sixteenth- and seventeenth-century religious compilations, such as Een Schoon Suyverlijck Boecxken (Antwerp, 1508), and many more editions. [See B. de Troeyer, Bio-Bibliografia Franciscana Neerlandica, Saeculi XVI, II, 302-304 (no. 20); De Troeyer (1983), 195] Modern edition in: Drees, Der Christenspiegel, 332-337. See also: B. De Boer, ‘Dirk Koelde en het Liedboek: Dit is een suverlijc Boecxken’, BGPMN 10 (1959), 387-406. The Liedeken is a sung dialogue of 21 strophes between Christ the groom and the loving soul, who is called upon to imitate her suffering groom. Christ asks, sometimes with a complaining and sometimes even with a teasing voice, for reciprocated love, telling the soul all that he (Christ) has done for the soul’s welfare. In the end the soul gives in, announcing to be prepared to take on the cross. Then, Christ invites the soul, his bride, to kiss him.

Dionysius Carli (Dionisio Carli da Piacenza/Giuseppe Flaminio Carli, fl. second half 17th cent.)

OFMCap. Italian friar and missionary in Congo. Born in 1635 or 1637, he joined the order in the Bologna province in 1652 in the Cesena friary, taking the religious name Dionisio, and finishing his noviciate on 25 April 1653. He fulfilled his studies of logic and philosophy at the Parma studium and afterwards received his preacher and missionary training. While he was in the Bologna friary, he was commanded to travel with Michel Angelo da Reggio to Genoa, to embark on a ship for Congo, and between 1667 and 1671 he was a missionary in Congo and afterwards in Brasil. Following a stint back in Italy, he was sent in 1678 to missions in Asia Minor, Persia and Georgia. Late in life, he returned to Venice in Italy and he died there in 1695. He left behind two accounts of his missionary journeys.
