Monk of Heilsbronn

The Monk of Heilsbronn (german: Mönch von Heilsbronn) is the unknown author of some short mystical treatises, written about the beginning of the fourteenth century, at the Cistercian Abbey of Heilsbronn, in Bavaria. The Monk cites St. Bonaventure and Albert the Great (d. 1280) and draws largely on the works of (Soccus), Abbot of Heilsbronn in 1303 (d. 1321). His mystical conceptions show a close relation to Bernard of Clairvaux and Hugo of St. Victor.
