Alcher of Clairvaux

Alcher of Clairvaux was a twelfth-century Cistercian monk of Clairvaux Abbey. He was once thought to be the author of two works, now attributed by many scholars to an anonymous pseudo-Augustine of the same period. De diligendo Deo is a devotional work, also traditionally attributed to Alcher. At one point in the Summa Theologica, Aquinas writes about De Spiritu et Anima, "that book is not of great authority."
