Lubertus Hautscilt entered the Augustinian monastery of St. Bartholomew in Eeckhout ( Middle Latin Quercetum = oak wood) near Bruges in 1361 at the age of 14 and became its prior in 1391. In 1394 he was appointed by Louis de la Trémouille († 1410), the bishop of Tournai ( reg. 1388 / 92–1410), consecrated abbot as the successor to Nicolaus Brandt († 1393). As abbot, he ensured that the abbey was granted old privileges again and took care of its structural equipment. The abbey buildings were destroyed in 1798; they were located at what is now the Eekhoutpoort in Bruges, near the College of Europe .

Hautscilt was an adviser and friend of Johann Ohnefurcht (1371-1419), Duke of Burgundy and Count of Flanders. In 1402/03 he was sent from Bruges on a diplomatic mission to Paris to preserve the neutrality of Flanders in the conflict between France and England . Hautscilt kept in contact with the nominalist theologian Pierre d'Ailly (1350 / 51-1420) and his pupil Jean Gerson (1363-1429), the chancellor of the Paris University (Sorbonne) . He granted Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland , (1341-1407 / 08) and Thomas, 5th Lord Bardolf, Knight of Wormegay, (1386-1408) asylum in his abbey for a few months after their flight from England in 1406.

In 1403 Hautscilt sent a manuscript of the salvation mirror Speculum Humanae Salvationis (Flemish: De Spieghel der Menscheliker Behoudenesse ) and an astrological treatise of the Albumasar (around 787-886) to Jean de Valois, Duc de Berry (1340-1416), illustrated according to his own instructions , the brother of the late King Charles V (1338-1380) and uncle Charles VI. (1368-1422). For Jean de Berry, with the help of the monk and calligrapher Guillaume Snellaert, he brought La Pèlerinage de la vie humaine by Guillaume de Digulleville (1295 – after 1358) from French into Latin prose. In 1406, Hautscilt received from Jean de Valois for his monastery a piece of the " Tunic of Christ " that was regarded as a blood relic and has been kept in Gistel since 1824 .

In 1410, Hautscilt began building a dormitory and a refectory with a chapter house after a lightning strike destroyed the old buildings. He financed the building mainly from precious gifts given to him by Jean de Valois. Another benefactor of the abbey and friend of Hautscilts was the banker Dino Rapondi (around 1350-1416). The construction was completed in 1417 in the month of his death.

In 1414 Hautscilt traveled from Flanders to Constance to take part in the council . He was there in 1417 by Cardinal Pierre d'Ailly on the recommendation of Jean V. de Saveren (r. 1414-1438), Prince-Bishop of Cambrai , and the abbots of St.-Étienne in Dijon and St.-Jean-des-Vignes in Soissons raised to bishop. A planned pilgrimage to Hautscilts in the Holy Land , however , was forbidden by the cardinal major penitentiary, who had granted him complete indulgence . As a mathematician, Hautscilt supported efforts for a calendar reform at the council . He returned to his abbey before the end of the council, where he died a little later.

Hautscilt donated an annual memorial and left his successors and the convent 10 pounds of grote for wine and 40 shillings (= 2 pounds of grote) for special meals. His successor as abbot was Prior Johannes Vulre (1347-1427).

The "Broederschap van de drug boom"

"The Madonna of the Dry Tree" by Petrus Christ , Bruges, around 1460

Lubertus Hautscilt led a Marian prayer community of the monasteries of St. Bartholomew in Eeckhout, St.-Aubert in Cambrai , St.-Eligiusberg in Artois , St.-Étienne in Dijon and St.-Jean-des-Vignes in Soissons. Even John of Wallenrode (around 1370-1419), from 1393 to 1418 Archbishop of Riga, Cardinal Pierre d'Ailly or lay like Earl Henry Percy of Northumberland and others felt this community of " Confrérie de l'arbre sec " Flemish " Broederschap van de drug boom ”(Latin probably“ Fraternitas ad siccam arborem ”or“ ad sycamorum ”).

Legend has it that the brotherhood - before the Order of the Golden Fleece (1430) - was founded by Philip the Good of Burgundy (1396–1497), but it is mentioned as early as 1396, when he was born. The name recalls a legend of Mary , which is also reflected in the song Maria went through a thorn forest . The type was a community of " Fratres (et sorores) ad sucurrendum " (Sukurrenden: Konversen , Familiare , etc.), d. H. by lay people who finally joined the order shortly before their death because of the ideas of piety at the time.

The “legend of the green and arid tree” also plays a role in the La Pèlerinage de la vie humaine by Guillaume de Digulleville, translated by Hautscilt . There the “dry tree” is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in Paradise , which withered when Adam and Eve stole its fruit. God grafts the wood of life onto the withered tree; for Digulleville this is a symbol of the incarnation of Christ from the pure virgin. The dried up tree of paradise is green again through Christ's sacrificial death. This “withered tree” motif has been associated with the legend of the cross since the 12th century (“Vision of Seth ”) and is similar to Jacob van Maerlant (around 1225 – around 1300), Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) and others.

The brotherhood stayed until the 18th and 19th centuries. Century. It included, among others, Isabella of Portugal (1397-1471), the third wife of Philip the Good, Charles the Bold (1433-1477), Count de Charolais, and his wife, the Countess de Charolais, Philip I of Habsburg called the handsome (1478–1506), Antoine, called Grand Bâtard de Bourgogne (1421–1504), Baudouin de Lille, Bastard of Burgundy (before 1446–1508), Lord of Fallais, Jean of Burgundy (1438–1499), Provost of Saint-Donatien in Bruges , Philip of Burgundy (around 1450–1498), Seigneur de Bevere, and his wife Anna von Borsselen († 1518), their children Adolf (1489–1540), Anna († 1512), Charlotte († between 1499 and 1509) and Marguerite († 1522) of Burgundy, Louis Prince de Chimay and Count Engelbert II of Nassau-Breda (1451–1504), also merchants such as Giovanni Arnolfini (around 1400–1472) and his wife Giovanna Cenami († after 1490), the painter Petrus Christ (around 1410/1420 – around 1473) and his wife, or Gerard David (around 1460–1523) and many noble citizens of Bruges.

Around 1460, Petrus Christ painted the picture The Madonna of the Dry Tree for the Brotherhood in Bruges , which is now in the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid. By Pieter Claeissens the Elder J. (1530 / 36–1612) comes from a triptych Notre Dame de l'arbre sec from 1606/08 in the Sint-Walburgakerk in Bruges.

The Confrérie de Notre-Dame de l'arbre sec or Broederschap van Onze Lieve Vrouw van de drug boom was reorganized in 1606 and ceased operations on March 26, 1819.

The "Imago Flandriae"

The humanist Johann Otho (around 1520–1581) was the first to publish (around 1558?) The prophecy Imago Flandriae sive Vaticinium des Lubertus Hautscilt, which originated in the 15th century and was found in the monastery of Eeckhout . As early as 1567, Karl von Utenhove d. J. (1536–1600), who had been a student of Johann Otho, made the English Secretary of State William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley (1521–1598) aware of this prediction and expected it to be fulfilled in the coming year 1568.

Imago Flandriae in Nicolas Bazel: Prognosticon nouum (1578)

The Imago Flandriae shows in the middle a personification of the County of Flanders as a naked woman suckling two wolves.

Gybid, woe to you, because you are making a ruin out of yourself ...
From full breasts you give our milk to strangers.
You refresh the wolves with milk, and you feed the sheep with bile.

Flandria is surrounded by a circle made up of the city gates of twelve Belgian cities. Next to the woman is the sentence “Gyb fiet ex Gybid, cum deca decas ibit”, d. H. “Gybid will become Gyb when ten decades will pass”. The word "Gybid" is formed from the first letters of the most important cities in Flanders Ghent - Ypres - Bruges - "Insula" (l'Île = Lille ) and Douai .

Imago Flandriae (1604), copperplate engraving on a leaflet by Matthias Quad von Kinckelbach after Johann Otho

Otho interpreted the sentence "forMa CeCas CLaVIs hInC bona sVrget aVIs" (roughly means "forme hidden keys, from which a good sign should emerge") like his predecessors as a chronogram to the year 1468 (= M + CCCC + L + VVV + III) and understood the prophecy as a prediction ("Prognosticon") on events of the year 1568 (= 1468 + 10 × 10) .

In 1568, Lille and Douai were actually separated from Flanders, which could be interpreted as the fulfillment of the prediction “Gybid becomes Gyb”.

In the period that followed, Imago Flandriae was published several times and related to current events. The city doctor of Sint-Winoksbergen Nicolas Bazel interpreted the prophecy as a prediction of the comet of November 14, 1577 and the events of 1578. Matthias Quad von Kinckelbach (1557–1613), a friend of Utenhove in Cologne , took up the publication by Otho and published a leaflet with the Imago Flandriae in 1604 on the occasion of the siege of Ostend . In the edition of Imago Flandriae by Augustin Blomme, a canon of the Eeckhout Monastery, the picture is used in a copper engraving by Pieter de Brune after an illustration by Jacob van Oost the Elder. J. (1637-1713) reproduced.

Archduke Albrecht VII of Austria (1559–1621) viewed the manuscript with the prophecy on a visit to Eeckhout Abbey, when in 1604 military equipment for the siege of Ostend was being made there.

The "Flemish Apocalysis"

West Flemish Apocalypse: The Woman, the Dragon and the Child (Revelation of John, chap. 12), around 1400

Lubertus Hautscilt is considered to be the “spiritual father” of the famous “Flemish” or “West Flemish Apocalypse ” from around 1400 , which is now kept in the Bibliothèque nationale de France . Her illumination marks the transition from Gothic to Renaissance in the art of the southern Netherlands .
