Henry Suso

Henry Suso, OP (21 March 1295 – 25 January 1366) was a German Dominican friar and the most popular vernacular writer of the fourteenth century. An important author in both Latin and Middle High German, he is also notable for defending Meister Eckhart's legacy after Eckhart was posthumously condemned for heresy in 1329. He died in Ulm on 25 January 1366, and was beatified by the Catholic Church in 1831.
