In 1451–52 he accompanied Nicholas of Cusa, papal legate to northern Germany and the Netherlands, on a mission for church reform in the Rhineland. In charge of the Carthusians at ’s Hertogenbosch from 1465, he retired in 1469 because of poor health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe school of Rhenish spirituality was influenced by Neoplatonism, the theology of St. Thomas Aquinas, and the teaching of Pseudo-Dionysius, whose works especially inspired late medieval mystics. \u003cbr\u003eDionysius used Aquinas, Pseudo-Dionysius, and the Dutch mystic Jan van Ruysbroeck as principal authorities in writing his classic, De contemplatione. For Dionysius, mystical contemplation was an infusion of the gift of wisdom by the Holy Spirit, for which the soul could be prepared by the renunciation of all save God. A prolific writer on dogmatic, ascetical, and mystical theology, he also sent letters to rulers calling for a Crusade against the Turks, wrote treatises on church reformation, and compiled commentaries on Scripture and Pseudo-Dionysius, a compendium on Aquinas’s Summa, and a handbook of philosophy. =================================\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease see my other auctions \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank You\u003c\/span\u003e \r\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eRefund Policy: We will issue a FULL REFUND, 100% money back if you are not satisfied with your purchase.
