Peter Blomevenna

Taking advantage of the progress of the printing press, it published authors including Harphius, Johannes Tauler, Henry Suso, Lanspergius (disciple of Peter Blomevenna), Ruysbroeck, Denis the Carthusian (1424–1471).

In 1520–1530, Peter had an extension built outside the monastery cloister in order to receive visitors wishing to follow the spiritual direction of the Carthusians.

In 1509, he published Le Miroir de perfection by the Flemish Franciscan Harphius (1410–1477) and also translated his treatise Directorium Aureum Contemplativorum into Latin which he supplemented with explanatory notes.

He edited many texts by Denis the Carthusian and opposed the growing Reformation in Assertio Purgatorii (1534) about Purgatory and the Anabaptists, in De Auctoriate Ecclesiaein (1535) on the teaching authority of the Church, in De Vario Modo adorandi Deum, Sanctos et eorum Imagines (1535) about images and the worship of God in beauty, and Candela Evangelica (1536).

He wrote an introduction to D. Dionysii Carthusiani Contra Alchoranum and sectam Machometicam libri quinque against the “Mohammedan sect”.
