Henricus de Carreto (Enrico del Carretto/Henricus de Caleto/Henricus de Careto, d. before 20 August 1323)

OM. Italian friar from the Genoa province. Bachelor of theology at Paris. Subequent master of theology. Therafter lector at the Bologna Studium (until January 1299). On August 1, 1300, he was appointed bishop of Lucca by Pope Boniface VIII. In Lucca, he held a synod (1308), of which the acts (in 11 articles) have survived. In 1309, political and military problems forced him to leave Tuscany. He settled in Avignon, where he became entangled in the usus pauper controversy. Pope Clement V charged him with a clerical mission, aiming to bring disobedient spirituals back into allegiance with their Franciscan superiors (cf. AFH 66 (1973), 331, 343-345). Before July 11, 1318, he and twelve other theologians responded on Papal request to Pope John XXII’s Quorundam Exigit, which had been heavily contested by Franciscan rigorists (cf. AFH 79 (1986), 101-102. Later, he also was asked to give advise on inquisitorial jurisdiction in matters of sorcery. He died before 20 August, 1323 (when the episcopal chapter of Lucca was officially informed about his death), and not in 1330. Aside from his synodal acts, he is known to be the author of Tractatus de Statu Dispensativo Christi et Specialiter de Paupertate Eius et Apostolorum/Tractatus de Statu Dispensativo Christi et Apostolorum, and of a lengthy commentary on the visions of Ezechiel, entitled, De Rotis Ezechielis. This latter work, composed between 1313 and 1315, was dedicated to Pope John XXII. The legal arguments used in the Tractatus de Statu Dispensativo suggest a decent exposure to legal doctrines, which raises questions concerning the place of legal materials in the theology studies of the Franciscan order in the years leading up to the prohibition of legal studies in 1292 (Parisian constitutions).

Henricus de Merseburg (Henricus Merpurgensis/Henricus Boych/Heinrich von Merseburg, mid thirteenth century)

OM. German friar. Franciscan friar and canonist. Probably born in Merseburg. Might have studied canon law and even have obtained a law degree at Paris before his entrance in the Franciscan order (see on this also the 14th. century biography of Henry of Merseburg in Leipzig UB cod. ms. 1074, which suggests that Henricus had given lectures on the liberal arts in Paris, studied natural philosophy and medicine, and had audited six years of lectures on law). In 1250, and again in 1270, he taught at the Franciscan studium of Magdeburg (the first Franciscan studium generale in the German province). Proof of Henry’s teaching activities at the Magdeburg studium is found in his Summa and in various Magdeburg charters). Several charters from 1259 seem to indicate that Henry also taught as lector at the Franciscan studium of Erfurt. He is famous for his Summa super V Libros Decretalium or Summa Titulorum (ca. 1242), one of the first commentaries on the Decretals (Liber extra, 1234) of Gregory IX, composed for internal use in the order’s schools to prepare confessors and other pastoral professionals. Heinrich's work had a substantial success in Northern Germany. Around 1260, a Franciscan lector (probably not the Magdeburg lector Henricus of Barben, who is mentioned in this regard by several scholars) wrote to this work an Apparatus ad summam fratris Heinrici, or an update (incorporating more recent canonist commentaries (in the manuscripts, this work either is found after the Summa, or incorporated in the individual titles). Later, in 1290, Henricus of Barben composed a Casus in Summam Heinrici (a casus conscientiae for penitential use, which added theological as well as canonist materials. Inc.: Labia sacerdotis custodiant scientiam, and was ordered according to specific questions). An updated abbreviated version (Summa Brevis super Decretales, inc.: Fecit Deus duo luminaria magna), which reworked all three previous works into a new whole, appeared in the early fourteenth century. The work was also used by the editor of the German Schwabenspiegel (connected with the Sachsenspiegel of Eike von Repgow).

XI. 149. For more manuscripts, see the studies mentioned below (esp. Kurtscheid (1927), 193ff.). Contrary to the Summae of Raymond of Peñyaforte and Johannes von Freiburg, which are organised in such a way to faculitate confessors, Heinrich von Merseburg’s Summa follows the order of Gregory’s Decretals, providing a concise commentary and elucidation in handbook format for classroom purposes, more in particular geared towards the needs of the order’s theology students. Unnecessary details are left out, as he also makes clear in the proemium: ‘Multo magis eligens pauca ydonee declarare quam legentes multis inutilitatibus pergravare, non proprie seu private sed communi deserviens utitilitati (…) hanc summulam compilavi.’ MS Königsberg 47 f. 3a. More information concerning Heinrich’s objectives can be found in the prologue to the second supplement in MS Leipzig 1013 f. 152a: ‘Ut autem sacerdotibus pateat via ad scienciam iuris canonici, ideo frater Henricus Merseburg de ordine fratrum Minorum, quondam lector in Magdeburg, summulam iuris canonici quam habemus prae manibus communi utilitati deserviens compilavit.’ As such, the Summa, with and without its two supplements, had a great success, specially in the German order provinces. The second supplement was made c. 1290 by the Franciscan lector Heinrich von Barben (who used Heinrich’s Summa in the classroom) with more direct confession purposes and related clerical obligations in mind. Cf. MS Leipzig 1013 f. 152r: ‘Cum summam henrici fratribus legerem et quosdam casus lectioni insererem, quos textus eiusdem summule nom habebat, fratres multimodis precibus ac importunis instanciis me rogarunt, ut eosdem carus verbis brevibus et simplicibus annotarem, quatenus fratres simplices ad planiciem eorundem casuum expediendis penitencium perplexitatibus recurrerent, qui non possent se ac confitentes sibi in latebrosa silva iuris canonici ad liquidum expedire…’

Henricus de Talmheim (Heinrich von Talheim/Chalheim/Chalhem/Thalhem/Henricys Almannus/Henricus de Tailhaim de Bavaria, fl. early 14th century)

OM German (Bavarian) friar. Baccalaureus and Magister Theologiae at Paris. Known for a reportatio of the Sentences lectures (on I Sent.) of Scotus [MSS Vatican City, Bibliotheca Apostolica Vaticana, Cod. Borhhese 50 & Todi, Biblioteca Comunale 12. Cf. Courtenay (1993)]. Guardian of the Ingolstadt convent in 1313. Provincial minister of Upper Germany (1316-1325), and chancellor of Emperor Louis the Bavarian. Long-term friend of the mystic Gertrude Rickeldey of Ortenberg. He played a role in the poverty struggle against Pope John XXII on the side of William of Ockham. His probably forced retreat from office as provincial minister in 1326 might relate to this. In later years, he regained the goodwill of the papacy and was able to act as definitor at the General Chapter of Perpignan. None of his theological works (if any) have survived. What did survive were the Allegationes that he composed in collaboration with William of Ockham, Francis de Aesculo and Bonegratia of Bergamo, which denounce heretical pantheïst utterances of Eckhart and Nicolaus of Straßbourg (and accuse John XII of partisanship on behalf of Eckhart). Interestingly, the so-called Sprüchen der zwölf Meister (MS Straßbourg L. germ. 662 (2795), dating from 1444), contain some sayings with a pantheïstic bearing by ‘Der von Talhain’, which come close to opinions vocalized by Eckhart. Sometimes, he is conflused with Henricus de Carreto, who also wrote in the context of the usus pauper controversy but eventually was in the oppposite camp.

Henricus de Werl (Henricus Werlius/Henricus Verkleir/Heinrich von Werl, d. 1464)

OM. German friar. Born c. 1400 in Werl. Read the Sentences pro exercitio around 1428 (probably in Bologna. This coheres with the production date of one manuscript of his In I Sent.) Studied for a theology degree at the university of Cologne in and after 1430 (matriculated in 1430, to read the Bible in 1430/1431 as Bacc. Biblicus, and the Sentences pro forma magisterii in 1431/2 (together with his fellow friar Walram von Siegburg)). He might have obtained the licence and the magisterium by the end of 1434 or the beginning of 1435 (yet there is no documentation to support this). It is also quite probable that he left the university as Baccalaurus Formatus in 1432. That year he was elected provincial of the Cologne province; a position he kept until 1461. He then could have received the licence by papal bull. He was a renowned preacher, a staunch defender of papalism (which also showed in the context of Heinrich's participation in and positioning at the Council of Basel, where he supported the cause of Eugenius IV and wrote a treatise on papal power in the Church), and a Scotist and immaculist in his mariology. Until 1443, he apparently was on relatively good terms with John Capistran, who propagated the observance during his German preaching tours. As provincial of the Cologne province, Henry at first accepted the many new observant foundations resulting from Capistran’s activities. In the 1450s, however, Henry chose to upheld the conventual cause (bringing the convent of Göttingen back into the conventual fold in 1457). It seems that Henry had sympathy with basic tenets of the observant program, but opposed the administrative autonomy of observant foundations. Henry probably spent his last years in the Osnabrück convent, where he died on the 10th of April, 1464. Several of Henry’s works have survived, namely parts of his Sentences commentary (Book I replete with the Principium (including collatio and quaestio); the collatio of the Principium to Book II; a Quaestio quodlibetaria between the first and second Principium; a distinction on the immaculate conception of Mary pertaining to Book III), the Tractatus seu collectio ex diversis de eminentia potestatis apostolicae super Ecclesiam universalem per totum orbem dispersam et synodaliter congregatam (1441), the Clarificatorium, the Contra impugnantes responsum sanctissimi domini Eugeni divina providentia papae quarti, and his treatise De formalitatibus (On the different kind of distinctions, on the distinctions in the Trinity etc.) in the tradition of Scotus and Francis of Mayronnis. Other philosophical and philosophico-theological writings attested by Wadding and later bibliographers have not been found). His sermons (mentioned by Trithemius and Wadding; a.o. on the suffering of Christ) apparently did not survive.

Henricus de Wildenstein (Heinrich von Wildenstein, ca. 1330 - before 1409)

OM. German (Bohemian) friar. Probably received his higher theological education at the Franciscan studium at Avignon. Developed close connections with the Papal curia at Avignon and (later on) Rome. Preached several times before the Papal court. Was appointed bishop of Croia (Albania) on 5 July 1372 by Pope Gregory XI. Became well-acquainted with Duke Leopold of Austria and Emperor Charles IV. Henry preached in Prague, in the presence of the Emperor, as well as at Vienna University. After the death of emperor Charles IV, Henry gave several of the official funerary sermons (December 1378). In 1383, Duke Leopold of Austria, who apparently had a high opinion of Henry, took effort to make Henry bishop of Trieste. There, Henry got in trouble with the secular clergy of the diocese (esp. on the social-economic management of diocesan affairs). Maybe due to these problems, Henry was transferred again (on 23 December 1396, apparently against his will) to the diocese of Pedena (Istria). Thirteen of Henry’s sermons still survive. They make abundant use of rhymed prose, and contain many references to and direct citations from the Fathers and high medieval monastic authors (esp. Bernard of Clairvaux).

Henricus de Zanten (Henricus Xantis/Hendrik van Santen, d. 1493)

OMObs. Belgian (Flemish) friar. Born in the first half of the fifteenth century. Was Guardian of the convent of Mechelen (Malines) in 1487 (as one of the successors of Hendrik Herp) and again in 1493, the year of his death. When, in 1487, the provincial minister Willem van Amersfoort of the Cologne province died in Hendrik van Santen’s convent, Hendrik temporarily took on the obligations of provincial minister as commissarius, until the general chapter at Gorcum (1488). Hendrik died at Mechelen in 1493, and was buried in the choir of the Franciscan convent church. Hendrik produced several sermon collections, as well as a series of Collacien, in which Hendrik dealt in a sermon format with practical aspects of the mystical life (with recourse to Gerson, Giles of Assisi, Bonaventura, Augustine, Gregorius the Great and Bernard of Clairvaux). [Most details on Hendrik’s life are obtained from the Franciscan Archive in St. Truiden M Gi 12 (parts of which can be found in St. Schoutens, Antiquitates Franciscanae Belgicae (Hoogstraeten, 1906), I, 16-18.)]

The full text is only to be found in the incunabula and other editions: Die Collacien van den Eerwaerdighen Vader Broeder Henricus van Sancten Gardiaen van Mechelen (Leiden: Jan Severszoon, c. 1500/Antwerp: Hendrik Eckert van Homberch, c. 1510 & 1515 [hence two editions]).

The other editions from Antwerp are accessible via Antwerp, Minderbroeders (shelfmark unknown); Antwerp, Museum Plantin-Moretus, Preciosa A 2250; Brussels, Koninklijke Bibliotheek, INC A 1.529; London, British Library, C.110.a.18; Washington, Library of Congress, BV4830.H4; Ghent, Universiteitsbibliotheek, BIB.ACC.005782/3; Darmstadt, Technische Universität, Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek, W 3196/110; Cologne, Universitäts- und Stadtbibliothek, AD+S836; Xanten, Stiftsbibliothek, shelfmark unknown. On the basis of these editions, all of which count about 137 pages, it can be assessed that the Collacien deal with the contemplative life, and more in particular with those aspects of active life conducive to it. In order to prepare for proper contemplation, one should reform the inner self, fleeing vanity, guarding one’s speech, and exercising daily prayers. Subsequently, it is important to reach out to other people: assisting the poor and the sick, and teaching the illiterate. The work is heavily indebted to De Monte Contemplationis of Gerson and Bonaventure’s Soliloquium. Hendrik’s main audience consists of literate lay people in search of a more fulfilling religious life. Aside from the collacien, the various printed editions also contains ca. five short additional pieces that probably should not be ascribed to Hendrik, but share a comparable religious outlook]

Additional fragments of meditative Collacien: MS Ghent, Universiteitsbibliotheek 895 ff. 289r-291r. This manuscript contains six fragments with comparable materials as can be found in the Collacien. The style of the fragments suggests Hendrik’s authorship. They have been edited in: A. Ampe, ‘Naar aanleiding van Hendrik van Santen’s Collacien’, Ons Geestelijk Erf 49 (1975), 376-380. The fragments in question comprise the following short texts: i.) Tot god keren in vier manieren; ii.) Hir nae volgen seven punten, die een minsche aen hem hebben sal, die tot eenen inghekeerden leven comen will; iii.) Die meyninghe maect onghelijc werck; iv) Het sijn vier punten, die een minsche hebben moet, die in vergaderinghe vredelijc staen wilt; v.) Drievoudige raad; vi..) Wijze troost voor wie beproefd is. Most of these fragments are very short and apodictic meditatative considerations. The second fragment (Seven punten, die een minsche aen hem hebben sal) is the most developed (ed. Ampe, 377-379): ‘Allen die vanden heilighen geest ghedreven werden tot eenen inghekeerden leven, suelen dese seven punten aen hen hebben. Dat eerste datmen god minnen sal boven al (…) Dat ander punt es, dat sij meer den lof god selen meijnen ende begheren vort te setten in haeren doen ende laeten dan ghelost of gherief (…) Dat deerde punt es willich armoede, niet meer begheeren dan slecht noet. Want het sijn cristus jhesus worde: wilstu volcoemen wesen, soe laet al dattu hebts ende volghe mij nae. Dat vierde es reijnicheit. In een reijn herte wilt god woenen, ende willen wij reijn blijven, soe es ons goeder hoeden noet. Wij sullen dan scuwen stede ende stont persoen. (…) Dat vijfde punt es ghehorsamkeit. Een recht ghehoersam minsche doet gheen sunde. Onder ghehorsaemheit moet der minsche sijn selfs uut-gaen, hem laeten onder eenen vreemden, moet scijnen dwaes, op dat hij voer gode wijs werde. (…) Dat sesde punt dat die minsche sal laeten sijns vaders huijs, troest ende ghenoecht der werelt. Niet wel en machmen gode ende der welt dienen. (…) Dat sevende punt di minsche sal sterven der natueren ende gode alleen leven. Als die natuer sterft, soe wert der geest levende.’

Henricus Helmesius (Heinrich Helm/Henricus Germipolitanus, d. c. 1560)

OFM. German Observant friar. Probably born in Halberstadt. Entered the Franciscan order in the Cologne province. For a time, he was active there as preacher (also in Cologne cathedral). Transferred to the Franciscan province of Saxony, to become an active member of the Halberstadt friary. On request of Adolf von Schaumburg (future archbishop of Cologne), Heinrich transferred to Stadthagen, where he became guardian of the Observant friary. In 1545, he became provincial minister of Saxony. During this period, he took several initiatives to enhance religious discipline in the remaining Franciscan houses (the number of which dropped to 11 in 1554 and 7 in 1559). On Heinrich’s request, Emperor Charles V ordered the town of Halberstadt to return to the Franciscans their confiscated convent (1548). Heinrich also became active as counsellor of Duke Heinrich II von Brunswick, during the latter’s recatholisation of his lands. Heinrich Helm had a good reputation as a preacher and an anti-protestant polemicist. Adolf von Schaumburg recommended Heinrich’s sermons as models to his own diocesan clergy. Heinrich’s main sermon collections have been published during his lifetime and thereafter. Besides, several of his other theological and polemical works have survived

Henricus Helstanus (Henry Helston/Heinrich Holstanus, fl. c. 1544/52)

OFM. English Friar Minor (from Helston, Cornwall?) who had fled Tudor England in the late 1530s and joined the Germania Inferior province. In 1544, he led the provincial chapter of Louvain as Commissarius for the general minister. Later discretus of the Antwerp friary and in that position he was elected provincial on the provincial chapter of Bergen-op-Zoom in 1549 (after Bernardinus Sichemis had resigned, due to illness). Helstanus remained provinical minister until August 1552, when he again became general commissioner of the province for the minister general. Maybe he returned to England during the Mary Tudor interlude. The only text we have of Helstanus is the letter he wrote on June 30, 1551 to the Archbishop of Trier, Jan of Isemborch, to praise the capacities of the Franciscan author Franciscus Vervoort. This letter can be found in several printed editions of Vervoort's works (such as Des Vijants Net der booser wercken, raet, visioenen ende bedriechlijcker soeckelijcheijt (Antwerp: Hans van Liesveldt, 1552) and Dit is het Boeck vanden heylighen Sacramente, ghenoempt De Pane Angelorum (Louvain: Reynier van Diest for Aert Peeters in Mechelen, 1552).

Henricus Herpius/Harpius (Hendrik Herp, ca. 1400 near s'Hertogenbosch - 1477 Mecheln)

OMObs. Dutch friar. Order administrator, mystic, and devotional author for clergy and laity alike. Probaly originated from Erp, a village in the North of the Duchy of Brabant. Matriculated at the university of Louvain in 1429. Rector of the Broeders des Gemeenen Levens in Delft (1445) and founder of a Collaciehuys for the Brethern in Gouda (same year). By then, Henry was already a renowned preacher. Travelled to Rome in 1450, where he entered the Observant branch of the Franciscan order (took on the habit in the Aracoeli convent). Returned to take on several offices on the Observant Cologne province. Hence, he was Guardian in Mechelen (Malines, 1454, 1467, and 1473-1477), and Antwerp (1460-1462), and vicarius/provincial (between 1470 and 1473). During his vicariate/provincialate charge, Henry was on good terms with the Burgundian house. With Burgundian support, he was able to establish several Observant convents (Boetendaal, near Brussels (1467/71), Amersfoort (1471), Herentals (1471/74), and the Poor Clare convent of Haarlem (1471)). Henry died on 13 July or 22 February 1477 in the Franciscan convent of Mechelen. Again with Burgundian support, he was able to fend off criticisms by the secular clergy (such as the bishop of Cambrai, who found fault with the foundation (without canonical authorisation) of the Observant convent of Herentals). Henrricus was a rather prolific and influential author of sermons, ascetical and mystical works (See below. For his influence, see especially the works of De Troeyer). He published a series of sermons De Tempore, De Sanctis, De Tribus Partibus Poenitentiae, De Decem Preceptis, as well as Sermones de Diversis (which also is known as as De Processu Humani Profectus). His most famous work no doubt is the mystical Spieghel der Volcomenheit, which draws on Bonaventure, Thomas Aquinas, Hugh of Balma, Rudolf of Biberach, Jan van Ruusbroeck, Rulman Merswin, Tauler etc., and which subsequently was translated into Latin and several vernaculars. [There are several printed editions of the Latin Speculum perfectionis, and of Herp's other works. The first Latin edition of the Speculum appeared in 1509, under the editorial supervision of the Cologne Carthusian Petrus Blomevenna. In the closing years of the fifteenth century followed an abbreviated version of all the works of Herp, entitled Theologia Mystica/Directorium Aureum Contemplativorum, compiled by the Carthusian Dietrich Lohr van Straatum and Bruno Loher, which was printed several times in the sixteenth century. It contains a Soliloquium Divini Amoris, sermons, a Scala Amoris, an Eden Contemplativorum, and the Spieghel der Volcomenheit. The third edition of the Theologia Mystica (Cologne, 1556) was dedicated to Ignace of Loyola. Yet the book was placed on the Index. A fourth editio castigata was presented by Petrus Paulus Philippus OP. This edition was very influential and formed the base for further editions and translations. The Theologia Mystica became an official handbook within the Franciscan order in 1633 (the general chapter of Toledo)].

Edenuym/Eden, id est Paradisum Contemplativum [complative work for the advanced, and in itself a sort of first draft for the Spieghel der Volcomenheit]: Cologne, Hist. Archiv cod. W*13^x; Brussels, Royal Library 21503-21504 [according to a remark on f. 181v of this manuscript, the work was completed at Alverna in 1456]; Trier StB 281 ff. 41-160; Trier StB 344 f. 40-176. TheEdynuym/Eden Contemplativum was for instance edited in the Theologia Mystica III and partly in the Pentateuch (Cologne, 1531) of Denis the Chartusian.

Spieghel der Volcomenheit [written in Dutch for a ‘spiritual daughter’]: a.o. Deventer Athenaei 57; Den Haag KB 128 G 18 (133 F 5); Düsseldorf Landesbibl. C 24; Gent UB 1514; Leyden Bibl. Soc. Lit. Neerl. 330 & 1032; Lübeck, OB 110; Amsterdam UB I F 51 [For a more or less complete survey of the manuscripts, see the edition of Verschueren, as well as Ruh (1964), 374-375, DSpir VII, 347-348, and De Troeyer, VL² III, 1130, as well as Sophronius Clasen & Julius van Gurp, ‘Nachbonaventurianische Franziskusquellen in niederländischen und deutschen Handschriften des Mittelalters’, AFH 49 (1956), 434-482. The work consists of four principal parts: ‘De XII stervingen’ (12 chapters); ‘Dat werkende leven’ (12 chapters); ‘Het scouwende leven’ (32 chapters); ‘Dat overweselic scouwende leven’ (8 chapters). According to the editor Verschueren (see below), the work exists in at least three different redactions. A first redaction only survives in Dutch manuscripts. A second redaction was most widespread among German Cartusians and formed the basis for German translations and German editions (for instance MS Nürnberg StB. Cent. VII 21, and the editions of Nürnberg (before 1469) and Mainz (Peter Schoeffer, 1475), as well as for the Latin translation by Peter Blomevennas and several other German and French translations and editions. A third redaction forms the basis for the Latin translation printed in Venice, 1524 and the dependent Spanish, Portugesian and Italian translations (cf. for instance Espejo de Perfección: Madrid, Nac., 74 ff. 1-21; Madrid, Nac., 8783 (1622). On these Spanish, Italian, and Portugesian translations, see also J. Orcibal (1964)). Although this division seems to account for most manuscripts and reworkings, several manuscripts, such as Berlin mgf 11317 ff. 1ra-99 vb and Konstanz, Heinrich Seuse Gymnasium cod. 5 [olim 27] and others, do not seem to fit in these categories. See on this also De Troeyer, VL, 2^nd. ed., III, 1130
The Spieghel der Volcomenheit received a significant number of early imprints in various versions, as well as modern editions: Spiegel der Volcomenheit (Mainz: P. Schoeffer, c. 1475); Dits die groote en nieuwe spiegel der volcomenheit (Antwerp: Vid. Roelants van den Dorpe, May 1501) etc. A modern critical edition apeared as: Spieghel der Volcomenheit (with Latin translation by the Carthusian Petrus Blomevenna), ed. P.L. Verschueren, 2 Vols., Tekstuitgaven van Ons Geestelijk Erf I & II (Antwerp, 1931). This edition has been re-issued as: Hendrik Herp, O.F.M., Spieghel der Volcomenheit. Met de inleiding van de Kartuizer Petrus Blomevenna en de oorspronkelijke tekstuitgave volgens Lucidius Verschueren in iuxta-vertaling in modern Nederlands, trans. Jan Janssen (Den Bosch: Privéuitgave/Private publication, 2005); the Carthusian monk Petrus Blomevenna from Leyden published his Latin translation under the title Directorium Aureum Contemplativorum (Cologne: J. Landen, 1509 & Cologne: J. Landen, 1513 (revised edition)/Antwerp. 1516). A slightly different text is was edited by Dietrich Lohr in the Theologia Mystica Vol. II.

Jostes, in Beiträge zur Kenntnis der niederdeutschen Mystik, Germ. 31 (1886), 1-41, 164-204. The nine steps of the Scala Amoris also appear in the Spieghel der Volcomenheit. This means that this work was probably conceived between the Eden and the Spieghel.]

It received a modern edition as: De Processu Humani Profectus, ed. Georgette Epiney-Burgard, Veröffentlichungen des Instituts für Europäische Geschichte Mainz, Abt. Abendl. Religionsgeschichte Band 106 (Wiesbaden, 1982). [A collection of 21 sermons. No old edition known, although two of these sermons can be found in editions of the Theologia Mystica. The sermons deal with the spiritual life as a processus towards union with God, which is interpreted as a return to the soul’s true origin. The 21 sermons can be distinguished into six groups. Sermons one to five (De interiori cubiculo regis aeterni, De sacramenti sumptione, De spirituali nativitate contemplativorum, De duplici iugo Christi, De piscina divinitatis et quinque poticibus) introduce major topics of the spiritual life and speak about the nature of divinity and spiritual union. Sermons six, seven and eight (De tribus quae ducunt ingratum ad detestabilem recidivationem, De septem gradibus recidivationum, De gratiarum actione reddenda et gratitudine) analyse the consequences of ingratitude and the benefits of gratitude towards God. Sermon nine (De divina voluntate et nostrae voluntatis perfecta conformitate) speaks about possible perfect conformity between human and Divine will. Sermons ten and eleven (Quomodo ad custodiendum Dei tabernaculum quadruplicem respectum habere debemus, De quatuor affectibus, quibus cor iustorum debet esse ornatum) provide a spiritual and symbolical exegesis of Exodus texts. Sermons twelve and thirteen (De anima Deo dicata quomodo eam Christus quadrupliciter ingreditur, Qualiter anima Deo erit speciosa et delicata) speak about the coming of Christ into the soul and its subsequent sanctification. Sermons fourteen to seventeen (Quod ad veram perfectionem non requiritur ingressus religionis et in quibus consistit perfectio viatoris, Qualiter ad perfectionem tendens humilitate et paupertate ornatus esse debet, Qualiter ad perfectionem aspirans obedientia praeditus esse debet, Qualiter ad perfectionem laborans patientia et caritate fulcitus esse debet) speak about the state of spiritual perfection, with its accompagnying virtues (showing that true perfection can and should be sought after by every Christian). Sermons eighteen to twenty (De effectibus primi et infimi gradus amoris divini, De effectibus sex graduum amoris sequentium, De sex quae requiruntur ad debitam formam dilectionis proximi exemplo Christi) speak at length about the various degrees of divine and human love. Finaly, sermon twenty-one (De martyrio corporali et sextuplici martyrio spirituali.) speaks about the ascetic aspects of the spiritual life, with its corporal and spiritual ‘martyrdom.’ Although the primary audience seemed to have been religious people who had fled the world, and some sermons (esp. twelve and thirteen) aim directly at female religious, his message in principle is meant for all. Herp’s style is very scholastic, making his points with pro and contra arguments, and with recourse to a wide range of biblical and theological authorities. This implies at least a relatively well-educated public.]

Henricus Kastner (d. 1530)

OMObs & OFM. German Observant friar from the Upper Germany Province. Active as preacher at Heidelberg (1495-96), Ingolstadt (1496-1501), Nürnberg (1501-1507), Heilbronn (1508-1510), Ulm (1511-1513: at the same time active at Ulm as guardian and lector of theology), Nürnberg (1513-14), Freiburg in Breisgau (1515-1519: also worked together with Caspar Schatzgeyer in introducing the Observance in the Freiburg convent), and again Nürnberg (1519-1520). In 1522, he was definitor for his province, as well as guardian of the Bamberg convent. In 1523, he succeeded Schatzgeyer as provincial minister of the Upper Germany province. Ca. 1525, Kastner abdicated, due to health problems. During his lifetime, Kastner apparently produced several sermon collections, with titles as Sermonarium Viarum Vitae et Mortis, Sermones Extravagantes, Eytlposs, Sermones Ulmenses, and Sermones de Sanctis et Aliis Variis in Principio Annotatis. Of these sermon collections, only the last-mentioned Sermones de Sanctis have come down to us. This collection contains 113 Latin outlines of sermons for special feast days during the liturgical year. Most of these outlines provide the Introductio, the Divisio (in Latin rhyme, sometimes with German translation), and the Dilatatio (authorities and exempla). Of special interest are the sermon outlines 27 to 36, which focus on the suffering of Christ, and might reflect the decision of the Franciscan general chapter of 1464 (Mechelen), to emphasize the suffering of Christ in popular sermons [for a further characterisation of these sermon outlines, their use of authorities (such as Augustine, Bernard of Clairvaux, Thomas Aquinas, Bonaventure, Alexander of Hales, and John Vitalis), proverbs, similes from nature, rhetorics, and reference to contemporary political and religious concerns, see the article of Einhorn, and especially the 1904 article of Landmann]. These Latin outlines form the basis of, or are besed on, actual sermons preached by Kastner in German between 1498 and 1501 (in Ingolstadt), and again in other places between 1506 and 1522. From his period as provincial minister, we have an Epistola Encyclica (24 March, 1524), which Kastner wrote from Kreuznach to his fellow friars, and in which he complained about the religious troubles and the defection of friars.

Henricus Kettenbach (Heinrich von Kettenbach, fl. early sixteenth century)

OFM. Member of the Ulm convent since 1521. In 1522, he becomes noted for his criticism of ecclesiastical doctrines concerning fasting and religious vocations. He also criticizes the behaviour of clerics. This draws out a counter-attack by the Dominican P. Nestler. In response, Kettenbach attacks the teaching authority of the Catholic church, saying that the true preachers of the Gospel are people like Luther, Melanchthon and Karlstadt, comparing them (and especially the first two) with the prophets Elijah and Daniel. As a result of his ideas, Kettenbach is forced to leave Ulm by the end of 1522, travelling first to Augsburg and from there to Strasbourg and Erfurt. In 1523, he publishes nine pamphlets against the Roman church, asking the royalty and the nobility of Europe to support the cause of the reformation. That same year, Kettenbach publishes his rather successful Practica, directed against the Edict of Worms. Kettenbach probably died in or shortly after 1524. Some scholars have tried to identify Kettenbach with the Franciscan friar Johannes Locher, who was executed at Munich in 1524. Yet that identification seems unwarranted.

Henricus `Knoderer' of Mainz (Heinrich von Isny/Heinrich Goeckelmann/Heinrich Kugullin (cuculla=capuchon), 1222-1288)

OM. German friar. Born in Isny as son of a craftsman. Entered the Franciscan order during his studies in Paris, which produced his nickname `Knoderer', because of the Franciscan girdle with knots. After studies in Paris, where he would have obtained a doctorate (check Glorieux?), he taught in Basel and Mainz (mentioned there in 1274), and was elected guardian of the Luzern friary. Became the counsellor of King Rudolph of Habsburg (elected King of the German Roman Empire in 1273) and negociated on his behalf with pope Gregory X in Rome to obtain papal recognition of Rudolph's election. In the context of a meeting between King Rudolph and Gregory X, Heinrich was elevated to the episcopal chair of Basel in October 1275. In this position, Heinrich continued to be involved with diplomatic activities for the King, for instance to smooth the latter's access to the Imperial crown, negociations for which started in 1284. Heinrich also negociated with representatives of the English crown for the marriage between Rudolp's son Hartmann with the English princess Johanna, a venture that was not successful. Heinrich also provided Rudolph with military support during King's conflict with Ottokar of Bohemia. As Bishop of Basel, Heinrich also took part in yet another military campaign with the King in Bohemia and was involved with negociations between Empire and Philip of Savoye (1282). During renewed negociations concerning Rudolph's imperial coronation in 1286, Heinrich was asked to intervened into a dispute concerning the election of the new bishop of Mainz (where, after the death of Werner of Eppstein in 1284, two different candidates had been elected for the post). Eventually, Pope Honorius IV decided that Heinrich was the best candidate for that Archdiocese, which was reckoned to be one of the most important ecclesiastical positions in the Empire, elevating him to that position in May 1286. As Archbishop of Mainz (Archbishop Heinrich II), Heinrich became involved with anti-Jewish agitation in his diocese, inaugurating persecutions and also expulsions. He continued to be asked for diplomatic missions and died in the aftermath of the national council of Würzburg (1278, where the succession of Rudolph of Habsburg was discussed) in Hagenau, on 17 March 1288. He was buried in Mainz cathedral. Stegmüller ascribed to Heinrich ‘Knoderer’ a comprehensive abbreviation of Bonaventure’s Sentences commentary, written for those student friars (fratres pauperes) who could not afford to buy or were not yet ready for Bonaventure’s own work. On the basis of manuscript information, this abbreviation, which had considerable success in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries (and is generally considered one of the better abbreviations of Bonaventure’s commentary), can also be ascribed to Frater H(enricus), lector in the Franciscan convent of Zürich. This friar might be identical with Heinrich ‘Knoderer’, yet the identification is not secure.

Henricus Montanus [Henry van den Berghe] (ca. 1420-1490)

OMObs. German friar from Rheinberg (North-Rhine-Westphalia in Germany). Member of the Observantist province of Cologne. Known for his theological and juridical knowledge. Was guardian in Antwerp and Hamm, and later was elected four times vicar of his province (1467, 1473, 1482, 1488). As provincial vicar, Henry codified the first Observant provincial statutes at the chapter of Amsterdam (28 August, 1474). In 1486, he reformed the tertiary convent of Gouda, making them accept the rule of the Poor Clares. Well-acquainted with the Duke of Cleve and the Archbishop of Cologne. He apparently died in Gouda (County of Holland, The Netherlands), on 3 October 1490. Aside from the provincial statutes mentioned above, and the Definitiones Poenitentiales, which he composed for communities of Poor Clares, most of his educational and reformative works have remained unedited, namely the Officia Claustralia/Klösterliche Übungen, the Paraeneticum Programma de Reverentia, Visitatione et Electione Praelatorum (1468), and a Littera super Actu Reformationis, addressed to the Duke of Cleve in relation to the reform of a local convent.

Henricus Pippinck (Henryck/Hendrik Pippinck, ca. 1524-ca. 1580)

OFM. German/Dutch friar. Possibly born in Kassel. Entered Louvain University in 1541 and as well-to-do student a member of the pedagogium De Lelie. Near the end of his artes education, he joined the Friars Minor in the Provincia Germaniae Inferioris. After finishing his noviciate and his ordination, he was possibly novice master in Louvain between 1546 and 1552. From 1552, he was preaching in Antwerp, and between 1558-1564 first vicar and then guardian of the Antwerp friary. In between, he visited England in 1554, in the context of the mariage of Mary Tudor and Philip II. He stayed for a year in London and preached to fellow countrymen. ten years later, in 1564, he became provincial minister (1564-1568), and in 1565 also ultramontan general diffinitor. In these functiones he experienced the iconoclast fury in the Low Countries. Maybe Bajanist tendencies, but not to the extent that it harmed his career. Possibly between 1568 and 1571 but in any case in 1569, Pippinck is guardian in Mechelen/Malines. In 1569 he preached during Lent, and he was asked to check the orthodoxy of books sold in the town. In 1570/71 he was visitator of seventeen tertiary houses at the request of the papal commissarius Lucas de Alvaro OFM. The year after (1572), he resided in Brussels, where he was guardian in 1574. Two years later, he is still in Brussels and acted as spiritual guide of the Urbanist Poor Clares of Obbrussel (south to the town, destroyed in 1578). Shortly afterwards, he possibly fled for Protestant forces and died around 1580 in or near Kassel. Pippinck was a preacher of renown, who preached frequently in Antwerp and elsewhere and drew out a huge public.

works

Sermoen/Leeringhe vanden Eerwerdighen heere hendrick pippinck: MS Brussels, Royal Library 3986-3989 ff. 50v-56v. Partly edited in Neerlandica Seraphica 10 (1936), 183-192. The sermon was copied in a collection of sermons and devotional texts gathered by ‘Ioncfrau Adriane van den Houtte ter eere Gods syner liever moeder maria tot behouf der edelder ghemeynte van Vorst anno 1577.‘ See Ampe, 364-410. According to De Troeyer, 303, another sermon from this collection ascribed by Ampe to Pippinck (on ff. 75r-79v and in another version on 121v-129v) is not the work of our friar Minor, but according to the wordings of the text is the work of another Franciscan preaching to the Poor Clares in Brussels (and not the Urbanist Rich Clares of Obbrussel). Likewise, other sermons from this collection ascribed to Pippinck by Ampe are probably the work of an as yet unidentified friar Minor.

Hendrik Pippinck also was involved with the publucation of Anna Bijns's third book of Refereinen, for which Pippinck write a prologue and commendation. This work as issued as, Een seer scoon ende suyver boeck verclarende die mogentheyt Gods, ende Christus ghenade, over die sondighe menschen (Antwerp: Peeter van Keerberghen, 1567), and the following year edited and issued for Nicolaus Tacitus Zegers, Het Sweert des Gheloofs (Antwerp: Jan van Ghelen, 1568), which itself was a translation of Nicole Grenier's L'espée de la foy. Pippinck likewise wrote a commendation in Zegers's translation. Pippinck's commendation depicts in somber tines the socio-religious situation of the Low Countries in the wake of the Iconoclast fury. Cf. De Troeyer, 302-303.

Henricus Standicius (Henricus Stenditius/Henry Standish, d. 1535)

OMConv. & OFMConv. English friar. Born before 1469. Entered the Franciscan order at an early age and was ordained priest in 1489. First educated at the Franciscan school in Hereford en subsequently he went through the lectorate and degree programs in Oxford and Cambridge and received his doctorate at Oxford before January 1502. Guardian (warden) of Greyfriars at London between 1508 and 1515 and also provincial minister of the English province. Popular preacher, also at the court of Henry VIII (especially between 1515 and 1520). Standish became a staunch supporter of King and parliament in a range of controversies. Henry VIII rewarded him by making Standish bishop of Asaph in 1518. In 1524, Standish fulfilled for Henry VIII ambassadorial missions in Hamburg. he particpated in several heresy trials (against Thomas Bilney and others) and was involved with the divorce proceedings between the King and Catherine of Aragon (as Catherine's counsellor) and he took a stance on the coronation of Anne Boleyn in 1533, incurring the King's displeasure. In his testament, Standish bequeathed fourty pounds to support scholars at Oxford and five punds to the Oxford Franciscan library. All his books went to the Franciscan Doctor of theology Thomas Cudnor. Between 1515 and 1536, Standish became an opponent of Erasmus and Erasmian friends (such as More and Colette), who accused him of being an old-fashioned Scotist and a bad theologian and philologist. The controversies between Standish and the Erasmians started after Standish's criticisms of Erasmus's Novum Instrumentum. Standish died in July, 1535. How much of his work does actually survive?

Custos of the Bodensee custody in the 1520s (with the Franciscan houses Lindau, Konstanz, Zürich, Luzern, Ueberlingen, Villingen, Schaffhausen, Burgdorf, Viktorsberg and Hausach).

Predigten über das Vaterunser (1536): MS Hamburg, Staatsbibliothek Cod. Theol. 2106. [Sermons copied in ‘Niederalemannisch’ by a female religious. In these fourteen sermons, which originally probably were given ‘in der zit der hailgen fasten’ in the company of Poor Clares, Heinrich deals with the seven prayers of the Pater Noster. The fifth Pater Noster prayer receives special attention with four sermons (also dealing with the seven laudations of Christ’s mountain sermon). In all, Heinrich’s catechistic Pater Noster sermons show several general resemblances with comparable sermons of Hans Münzinger and Geiler von Kaisersberg (and Luther). Machschefes, 1932, 492: ‘Der Hauptinhalt dieser 14 (…) Predigten ist die Erkenntnis, dass wir armen, schwachen Erdenkinder zu aller Zeit mit tiefer Demut im Herzen das Paternoster beten sollen. Aber wir vermögen doch nichts ohne die unendliche Gnade des lebendigen Gottes - auch auf die unglückliche Spaltung innerhalb der christlichen Kirche weist Stolysen an den bereits erwähnten Stellen hin.’]

Henricus Biesten (Hendrik van Biesten, fl. 1572/78)

OFM. Dutch friar. Preacher in Amsterdam in the early 1570s, and known for his Liedeken op het jaer 1572 (Song on the year 1572). To him has also been ascribed a small Amsterdam chronicle for the years 1534-1535, 1566-1570, 1572-1574, the so-called De Anteykeningen gedaen van Broer Hendrik van Biesen, but some bibliographers contest this (esp. W. Nolet (1928/29). After the so-called altercation of Amsterdam in May 1578, when Protestants took over the urban government by force and immediately began to arrest Catholic religious and close monastic houses, Henricus was forced to leave town, and after several disagreeable experiences arrived in Utrecht before June 22, 1578. According to later authors, he would later have returned in the company of Arnuldus ab Ischa to Amsterdam in secret to serve as a clandestine priest/missionary for the remaining Catholic population, but that cannot be fully corroborated (see the analysis of De Troeyer (1969), 322-333.

Henricus Vigilis (Henricus de Wissenburck/von Weissenburg, d. 1499)

OMObs. German friar. Probably born in Weißenburg (Alsace). Nothing known about his education. Active as preacher and confessor in Northern Germany. Guardian of the convent of Leonberg (Wurtenberg, 1474-1477) and Weißenburg. Socius of Vicarius General Johannes Philippi, when the latter visited convents of friars and Poor Clares in the provinces of Strasbourg and Saxonia (also in the company of friar Simon of Gouda, guardian of Mainz). Later active as preacher and confessor of the Franciscans and Poor Clares in Alspach (to the West of Colmar in Alsace, see MS Colmar Bibl. Munic. 274 f. 278v; MS Berlin, mgq 164 f. 1r; MS St. Gallen, Stiftsbibl. 1859 p. 469). From 1487 onwards, Henricus holds the same functions in the convent of the Poor Clares of Nürnberg, where he died on 16 July 1499 (Cf. the necrology of the Nürnberg Poor Clares as presented by Würfel (1767), II, 929f. Stephan Fridolin succeeded him as confessor and preacher for the Poor Clares of Nürnberg). Most of his works, which often were put in writing/copied by Poor Clares from Alspach and Nürnberg, and subsequently were corrected and authorised by Henry himself [see Kist (1938), 145] testify to his pastoral activities for Franciscan nuns. His sermons (as well as several of the translations that are attributed to him) show an deep affinity with the style of Bonaventure, and are illustrate the character of fifteenth-century Franciscan spirituality.

De VII gradibus amoris/Von den Sieben Graden der volkommenen Liebe: Colmar Bibl. de la Ville 274 ff. 250r-278v (late 15th cent., from Alspach); Berlin mgq ff. 253v-268r (late 15th cent.); Munich Cgm 853 ff. 23r-35r; Leipzig, Universitätsbibliothek Rep. IV 106 Band I ff. 78r-96v (17th cent.). This long sermon was printed in the early seventeenth century as Eine schoene Lehr von den sieben Graden oder Staffeln der volkommenen Liebe in denen die Gesponß Christi wandeln soll (Frankfurt a. M.: Daniel Sudermann, 1622). A modern edition is given in Franziskanisches Schrifttum, ed. K. Ruh (Munich, 1985), II, 129-146. The work describes the marriage of the soul with Christ in seven steps, each of which again is subdivided in three parts. The Latin theological terms (amor, caritas etc.) conncected with the soul’s mystical union with Christ are presented first, followed by German elucidations. Work relies heavily on Bernard of Clairvaux, Gerson, and Dionysius the Carthusian.

For a partial edition (the third part), see: Franziskanisches Schrifttum, ed. K. Ruh (Munich, 1965), I, 157-163. The work is heavily dependent upon the spiritual and disciplinary works of Bonaventure, as well as on the Speculum Disciplinae of Bernard of Bessa. Emphasis on disciplin (esp. silence), obedience, and patience/endurance.

The ascription to Heinrich is not secure (even though the Berlin manuscript mentions Heinrich as author), as the work does not figure among Heinrich’s literary ‘Nachlass’ in the St. Clare obituary of Neurenberg. The work exposits the motive of keeping silent on the basis of a wide range of patristic sources, as well as with recourse to Bernard of Clairveaux, Bonaventure, Thomas Aquinas and Nicholas of Lyra. Work was apparently directed to female religious communities.

Henricus Willot (Henry Lombart, ca. 1530-1599)

OFM. Belgian (Walloon) friar. Born in a well-to-do family in Fontaine-l'Évêque (in the present-day Belgian province of Hainaut). Studied grammar in Cologne, Rhetorics in St. Omer (St. Omaars) and began a study of philosophy in Louvain in August 1549. He probably joined the Franciscans of the Provincia Flandriae in the late 1560s and took his vows in the friary of Farciennes in 1571. Subsequently, he studied theology in Paris between 1579 and ca. 1582. This was followed by homiletic assignments in the French-speaking parts of his province, in Artesia, Hainault (Henegouwen) and Namur (Namen). Around 1587/8 he fulfills for about four years a lectorate in scholastic theology in Namur (Namen), and afterward in St. Omer (St. Omer), teaching the Sentences of Lombard. In the mean time, he was a preacher in service of the bishop of Namen, the Franciscan François de Walloncapelle (d. 1592) and his successor Jean Dave (d. 1595), and in tne early 1590s fulfilled the position of guardian in St. Omer. Still guardian, he was elected provincial for the provincia flandriae for the triennium 1595-1598. He was opposed to the erection of Recollect monasteries in his province (which was promoted by the minister general Bonaventura a Caltagirone), and on the provincial chapter of 1598, which Willot attended as commissarius generalis, this caused him to renounce all his provincial responsibilities. Willot was sent to Italy as custos custodum to the general chapter of Rome, which had been deferred to 1599. Willot traveled to Italy in February of that year, and hoped to visit a number of libraries to seek out information on Franciscan authors, but but died of a fever in Padua on September 12, 1599. Willot has left behind a number of sermons, funerary lectures and his main work, the Athenae Ortodoxorum Sodalitii Franciscani, a bibliographical work on Franciscan literature and authors, which thanks to the editorial investment of his fellow friar Nicolaus Gazet (Gazaeus) appeared in the year of Willot's death (officially a year earlier).

At least the 1598 edition is accessible via the collections of Ghent University Library, the British Library, the Austrian National Library in Vienna, and via Google Books (title search). This work was dedicated to the minister general Franciscus Gonzaga (already written before Willot's departure to Italy), who had been instrumental in Willot's literary undertaking and who had become renowned in the order because of his own De origine seraphicae religionis Franciscanae eiusque progressibus. Following Gonzaga's enticements and in the wake of Gonzaga's idea (never realized) to create a library of Franciscan authors in Mantua, Willot wanted to create an alphabetical bibliographical guide of all order members who had served the Church through their writings.

Herculanus Oberrauch (1728-1808)

OFMRef. Austrian friar from Sarnthal in Tirol. He studied in Innsbruck and entered the Franciscan order on 5 May 1750, making his solemn profession in 1751. Studied philosophy in Bosen (Bolsano) in and after 1753, the same year in which he was ordained priest. Further studies in theology and canon law until 1756. The year after, he was made assistent lector (repititor) of theology in the Innsbruck friary. In subsequent years he taught philosophy and canon law in several lector appointments in Franciscan houses. Then, in 1766, he was appointed Professor of moral theology at the University of Innsbruck, a position he held until 1782. In this period he also held several times the position of provincial definitor. He ended his life in the Franciscan monastery of Schwaz. Oberrauch published a number of works, including the four-volume Institutiones justitiae christianae sive theologia moralis (1774-1775). Just when Oberrauch was working on a revised new edition, the work was placed on the Index in 1796, which amazed German religious opinion leaders and bishops. While Oberrauch decided to forego the publication of his revised new edition, his publisher thought otherwise, and as a result the work was re-issued in eight volumes under the title Theologia moralis (1797-1798). For whatever reason, this version was not placed on the index. He also issued a four-volume apologetic work, entitled Theon und Amyntas oder Gespräche über Religion und Gerechtigkeit (1776-1788), and a number of smaller ascetical works. He also would have left behind a significant number of unprinted Latin texts.

Hermanus de Brucco (Hermann von Brucken/Hermann Brucher?/Herman de Saxonia?, fl. mid 14th cent./fl. 1377-1409?)

OM. German friar. Lector at the Nordhausen friary. At the request of a fellow friar he wrote a Opus sexaginta tractatuum praedicabilium, clearly a model sermon collection. Is this the same friar known as Hermannus Brucher in the catalogues of Juan de San Antonio, Sbaralea, and in the Biographical Index of the Middle Ages?

Hermanus de Saxonia (Herman Topelstein/Herman von Mühlhausen (?)/fl. ca. 1330-1340)

OM. German friar. Lector in Erfurt in the 1330s and 1340s. Exegete and compilor of canon law. Wrote, on request of the provincial minister of Saxony the Casus Abstracti a Iure, a summary of the canon law of confession according to the new rules issued at the council of Vienne (Dudum a Bonifacio; a re-issue of Super Cathedram), illuminating to what extent the friars could exercise their confession rights within the limits set up by the Church. The Casus was later endorsed for circulation throughout the Franciscan Order by the general chapter of 1337 (Cahors). Several late medieval manuscripts contain a Tractatus de Dignitate Sacerdotis, a work that also has been printed (anonymously) as the Stella Clericorum. Some manuscripts attribute this work to Hermann Tepelstensis OFM, yet this seems unwarranted, as that work dats back to the thirteenth century.

Hermannus Etzen (Ermannus, fl. 15th cent.)

OM. German Franciscan friar from Erfurt; preacher and mariologist. Elements of his career are known from several autobiographical remarks (edited by Meier (1935), 376). He followed the lectorate program at the Erfurt studium generale (1438-1440). Sent as lector philosophiae to Prenzlau (Spring 1440-early 1441, where, in the context of his teaching assignments, he finished a commentary on the first three books of Aristotle’s Physica). As the philosophy study house there had to close, due to a lack of funds, he transfered to a lectorate position in Halberstadt (first months of 1441, where, due to lack of library resources, he had to give up on his Physica commentary, and started a commentary on De Anima (book I & II, c. 1-4). In Spring 1441, he becomes lector secundarius for theology at Magdeburg (until 1443). In 1444, he is found at the Hildesheim Synod, and on 30 June 1444 (Goslar?), he engages in a public disputation with Johann Bremer. Spring 1445, he returns to Erfurt, where he matriculates at Erfurt university for the theology degree program (in the Franciscan studium generale). Between 1445 and 1447, he completes his Sentences commentary. Continues to teach and to partake in academic activities until 1448. Probably leaves the university as baccalaureus formatus. After probable teachings assignments, he embarks on an administrative and homiletic career: guardian of Hildesheim (1458) and production of Marian sermons (Summula super Ave Praeclara) in Hildesheim, where he died between 1465 and 1470. Michler (VL² II, 641) remarks: ‘E. ist der einzige Theologe der Erfurter franziskanischen Schule, von dem Kommentare zu den Werken des Aristoteles bekannt sind. Er faßt die Lehre des jeweiligen Werkes zusammen und redigiert sie in einer ‘Sententia conclusiva’, die er nach dem ‘Sic et Non’- Schema ausbaut. Auch im Kommentar über die Sentenzen verfährt er ähnlich.’ This would indicate that these works of Etzen stay close to the actual teaching context in which they were generated.

Hermannus Janssens (1684-05-05, 1762)

OFMRec. Belgian friar. Born in Antwerp. Entered in 1703 the Recollects in Germany, but returned to Antwerp in 1730. There he became Professor of scripture, followed by administrative assignments: secretary of the provincial minister, custodian, and visitator of the Saxonian province. After the provincial chapter of Brussels (1738), he was elected provincial. As provincial and vice-definitor, he took part in the general chapter of Valladolid. Hermannus left behind three major works, some of which saw several editions. His major work on scripture, dedicated to the archbishop of Malines, is the Prodomus Sacer. His liturgical works were written on request of the bishop of Antwerp. Janssens was also known as opponent of Jansenism, and especial the biblical interpretations of Quesnel.

Hernando de Trejo y Sanabria (1553-1614)

OFM. Spanish/Paraguayan friar and bishop. He was the son of Captain Hernando de Trejo, founder of the town of San Francisco del Sur (present-day Brasil) and doña María de Sanabria. He was sent for studies to Lima in 1568, where he joined the Franciscan order and was ordained priest in 1576. After completing his studies he was appointed as provincial administrator in Peru. In 1592, at the recommendation of te Consejo de Indias and the Viceroy of Peru, King Philip II of Spain suggested Hernando's candidacy for the episcopal see of Tucamán. Pope Clement VIII confirmed the appointment in 1594. As bishop, Hernando organised a number of synods (1599, 1606, 1607) in the town of Santiago del Estero for the promotion of mission among the indigenous population. He also supported the building of churches and the creation of confraternities among creole, mulat, indigenous and black communities, and with royal permission, he also established around 1603 a Colegial Seminary alongside of the Cathedral, and stimulated the cloth painting industry. Near the end of his life, between 1612 and 1614, he worked together with the Jesuits to secure the foundation and endowment of a university in Córdoba (the basis of what now is the Argentinian Universidad Nacional de Córdoba).

Hieronymus Alberici (Girolamo Alberici, 1525-1590)

After ca. 1560, he preached for thirty years in a number of Italian towns (a number of Lenten cycles in Venice, Genoa, Pavia, Naples, and Palermo, and other preaching assignments in Siena, 1570; Bergamo, 1573; Perugia, 1587; Rome, 1588; Rimini, 1589).  On top of his preaching assignments, which gave him a huge homiletic reputation, he fulfilled several charges as regent lector, for instance at the study houses of Bologna, Padua, and Naples. On 27 October 1584, he was elected provincial minister of the Bologna province.  Four years later, in 1588, pope Sixtus V called him to Rome, where he became the regent of the Collegium S. Bonaventurae in the Twelve Apostles friary. There he taught theology and became the spiritual counsellor of a number of high ecclesiastical and noble figures. He died in Rome on 26 April 1590 and was buried in the church of the Conventual friary. Only one of his theological works seems to have survived.

Hippolitus/Père Hippolyte (Petrus Helyot/Pierre Helyot, 1660-1716)

TOR. French friar. Born in Paris from aristocratic parents with an English background. Took the tertiary habit in a monastery founded by his uncle Jerome Helyot. Was allowed to make lengthy journeys all over Europe to collect materials for a huge encyclopedia/history of the religios orders. The first four of these appeared during his lifetime, and a fifth volume was in press at the moment of his death. Additional volumes were completed by his friar-colleague Maximilian Bullot. The complete series comprised eight volumes (issued between 1714-1719), entitled: Histoire des ordres monastiques, religieux et militaires, et des congregations seculieres de l’un et de l’autre sexe, qui ont ete etablis jusqu’a present (...). The work became a considerable success and was re-issued in 1721, 1792 and in 1838. An Italian edition prepared by Giuseppe Francesco Fontana was issued at Lucca in 1737; a German version in eight quarto volumes appeared at Leipzig in 1753-1754, and again at Frankfurt am Main in 1830 as P. Hippolyt Helyots ausführliche Geschichte aller geistlichen und weltlichen Kloster- und Ritterorden für beyderley Geschlecht (...). It became the basis for modern alphabetical dictionaries/encyclopedias of religious orders, such as Philipon de la Madelaine's Histoire complète et costumes des ordres monastiques (...) (Paris, 1839), and subsequently M.L. Badiche's Dictionnaire des ordres religieux, ou histoire des ordres monastiques, which was included as volumes xx to xxiv in Migne's massive Encyclopedie Theologique (Paris, 1858).

Hippolitus Bergomensis (Ippolito da Bergamo/de Scalve, d. 1617 or 1619)

OFMCap. Italian friar. Born ca. 1548 in the Scalve valley near Bergamo. Joined the Capuchins in the Brescia province in 1565. Was sent out in a party lead by Mattia Bellintano de Salò to help establish the Capuchin order in France and to fight against Protestantism and other heresies. Thereafter, Ippolito is found as novice master and guardian in the Capuchin friaries of Saint Honoré (Paris, 1578-79, 1581-83) and of Étampes (1579-80). Between 1580/81 and 1583/84, he also was provincial definitor. In 1584, he was sent to the Lyon province, where he became definitor and guardian of the Arles friary. In 1587, he was sent to Antwerp in Flanders, at a time when Spanish troops were making headway with re-establishing Spanish Royal authority in the Southern Low Countries. Ippolito became general commissioner for the Flemish Capuchins, engaged with the establishment of new Capuchin friaries, and the creation of specific study centres and houses for novices. He also became guardian of the Antwerp Capuchin friary as well as novice master (1588-1590). When the Capuchin commisariate of Flanders was elevated to the status of a province in 1595, Ippolito was elected provincial minister on 18 August of that year. In this quality, he issued a new ceremoniale with reglementations concerning the religious observance of the rule, the performance of liturgical obligations and the development of the Capuchin spiritual life. During his time as commissioner and provincial, fourteen new Capuchin friaries were created. Ipolito was re-elected in January 1597, but the order’s general, Girolamo da Sorbo, convinced in this by critics of Ippolito, who accused him of being too supportive of quietist and spiritual groups in the order (groups that hammered on the importance of the spiritual life of the inner self, influenced by ideas of Felice of Lapedonia, Francis Lavalin Nugent etc.  but also by the older writings of Hendrik Herp, Ruusbroec and Tauler), prevented his election. Ippolito’s novice training manuals and other spiritual texts were suppressed. Ippolito accepted his demotion and returned to the Brescia province, where he again became novice master and guardian, this time in the Crema friary. He died at Bergamo, either on 7 or 8 December 1617, or on 10 December 1619.

Honorius Canensis (Honoré de Cannes/Ange Raymond, 1632-1694)

OFMCap. French friar from Cannes, born on 8 January 1632. Entered the order in July 1649 in Carpentras (St. Louis of Avignon province). Taking his profession on 7 August 1650. After his theological studies and his priestly ordination, he embarked on a preaching career, specialising in popular preaching to the masses, aided by a group of interpreters and confessors working as a team, especially in Paris and the Provence, but also in Abbéville, Calais, Grenoble and elswhere. He was frequently asked for long preaching missions in areas with heterodox tendencies. By the end of 1693, he was once again asked for such a mission, this time by the bishop of Toulon. Yet he was so exhausted that he fell ill and died just after arriving there, on 14 January 1694. Counter to the baroque preaching style of others, Honoré chose to preach very simple, adapting his message to his audience. On most missions, Honoré and his team would organise on preaching days a short instruction after Mass, followed by an additional meditation some hours later, when the people would take a break from their work around noon. In the afternoon, they would hold a conference in dialogue format, explaining doctrinal and moral issues, and during the early evening hours this was concluded by a real sermon. In between these specific elements, catechetical instruction could be given, as well as confession sessions, and specific training sessions directed to the local clergy or to specific groups among the laity. Honoré’s preaching rallies were frequently combined with local processions and specific ablutions/reconciliations. Moreover, he organised ‘bureaux charitables’ for the distribution of alms and ‘bureaux d’accommodement’ aiming to bring together broken families and to end feuds between people. In the course of his preaching career, Honoré wrote several works, which he had distributed by an editor/librarian/literary agent who came with him on his missions.
