Henricus Sedulius

Henricus Sedulius (1547-1621[1]) – the Latinized name of Henri de Vroom van Kleef[2] – was a Belgian Franciscan scholar noted for his works on religious figures such as the lives of St. Elziarius[3] and St. Francis of Assisi.

This is a defense of the Franciscan Order, drawing from Bartholomew Albizzi's commentary of the Scripture as well as citations from the Christian founders and ancient philosophers.

[7] In Historia seraphica, Sedulius published a collection of quotes from famous writers who praised St. Francis and these included St. Bonaventure as well as other prominent Franciscans.

[10] Sedulius collaborated with Jan Moretus, the owner of Plantin Press, on the publication of several religious texts.

[13] Some of Sedulius' poems focused on miracles such as Diva Virgo Mosae-Traiectensis and his style is said to have been influenced by Justus Lipsius.
