Henry Balme

Henry Balme

Henry Balme (?-February 23, 1439), also known as Hugh Balme, was a Franciscan theologian. [ [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02224a.htm Henry Balme] - Catholic Encyclopedia article]

Balme was born in Genoa. He entered the Order of Friars Minor in the province of Burgundy. He was a man of exceptional worth according to the testimony of Saint Colette, whose confessor he was. Possessing an intimate knowledge of his penitent's life, he wrote a brief account of her marvelous gifts. The saint, however, on hearing of its existence, caused it to be destroyed. Among his other writings is one on "Theologia Mystica", which had been mistakenly attributed to Saint Bonaventure, making him one of several Pseudo-Bonaventuran authors.
