Rolle, Richard |
0.01 sec. |
Rolle, Richard (de Hampole)(born c. 1300, Thornton, Yorkshire, Eng.—died Sept. 29, 1394, Hampole, Yorkshire) English mystic. He left the University of Oxford without a degree, dissatisfied with the subjects of study, and became a hermit. Writing in the vernacular for the sake of women readers, he exalted the contemplative life and emphasized a rapturous mystical union with God. He may have been spiritual adviser to the nuns of Hampole in his late years. How to thank TFD for its existence?
