Halle (‘Der von Halle’, c. 1400)

Halle (‘Der von Halle’, c. 1400) OM. German friar from Halle (Saxony province), possibly also active in the Strasbourg region. Known for several sermon extracts. In some of these, he elaborates on the four last things (death, last judgment, hell, and heavenly beatitude). In another, he speaks about the four winds sent by the Holy Spirit; a theme we can also find in Bonaventure’s Soliloquium . Other excerpts contain more phantastical stories.
