Cornelius Thielmans
Cornelius Thielmans (c. 1570–1634) was a Franciscan hagiographer from the Habsburg Netherlands.
Life[edit]
Thielmans was born in Brussels around 1570. He joined the Cologne province of the Franciscan order, and served as guardian of houses in 's-Hertogenbosch and Aachen, as definitor in Cologne, and as spiritual director to the Annunciate convent in Antwerp. He died in Tongeren in 1634.[1]
Works[edit]
Thielmans was one of the leading scholars in Brussels who published works that focused on the Franciscan literature.[2] One of his works that has been documented was a 1622 print that depict a tree trunk genealogical design that emanates from the body of St. Francis and featured branches that included Anthony of Padua, Bonaventure, and Louis of Toulouse.[3]
Aside from his own works, Thielmans also collaborated with other scholars. For instance, he translated the Latin works of Henricus Sedulius.[4]
Some of his notable works include the following:
