A smaller emphasis on doctrinal activity favoured the development here and there of the ascetic and contemplative life and there sprang up, especially in Germany and Italy, the mystical movement with which the names of Meister Eckhart, Heinrich Suso, Johannes Tauler, and St. Catherine of Siena are associated.

* June 15 – Johannes Tauler, German mystic theologian

These were mainly of a mystical and devotional kind, and were inspired by St Bernard, Johannes Tauler and Thomas à Kempis.

Augustine of Hippo ( 5th century ), Hincmar ( early French theologian, archbishop of Rheims, 9th century ), Michael Psellus ( 11th century ), William of Auvergne, Bishop of Paris ( 13th century ), Johannes Tauler ( 14th century ), and Ludovico Maria Sinistrari ( 17th century ), among others, supported the idea that demons were lustful and lascivious beings.

* Johannes Tauler

The Late Middle Ages saw the growth of groups of mystics centered around geographic regions: the Beguines, such as Mechthild of Magdeburg and Hadewijch ( among others ); the Rhineland mystics Meister Eckhart, Johannes Tauler and Henry Suso ; and the English mystics Richard Rolle, Walter Hilton and Julian of Norwich.

** Johannes Tauler ( d. 1361 ): sermons

Among the more famous visitors to Groenendaal mention is made of Johannes Tauler, but though the German preacher certainly knew and appreciated his writings, it is not established that he ever actually saw Ruysbroeck.

But as an offset we may mention the enthusiastic commendations of his contemporaries, Groote, Johannes Tauler, Thomas à Kempis, John of Schoonhoven, and in subsequent times of the Franciscan Henry van Herp, the Carthusians Denis and Laurentius Surius, the Carmelite Thomas of Jesus, the Benedictine Louis de Blois, and the Jesuit Leonardus Lessius.

Johannes Tauler and Henry Suso are associated with this movement, although their view of the Brethren is disputed, Suso in particular preaching against them.
