Ulrich von Lilienfeld
Ulrich von Lilienfeld (Ulricus Campililiensis; * before 1308 in Klosterneuburg or Vienna ; † before 1358 in Lilienfeld ) was a Roman Catholic clergyman, Cistercian , abbot of Lilienfeld Abbey and late medieval writer.
Life
His father came from Nuremberg and settled in Klosterneuburg. Ulrich himself entered the Lilienfeld monastery around 1327. From 1345 to 1351 he was abbot of Lilienfeld Abbey. His parents and uncle were buried in the Lilienfeld collegiate church. Abbot Ulrich is named in several documents. Lilienfeld Monastery acquired vineyards in Pfaffstätten under Abbot Ulrich . Abbot Ulrich resigned from his office as abbot, possibly in order to be able to devote himself better to his writing activities.
Works
Abbot Ulrich calls himself the author of the "Concordantiae Caritatis", which are counted among the typological image-text cycles of the Middle Ages. Ulrich von Lilienfeld explains in pictures and explanatory text above all the gospels of the individual Sundays and public holidays of the church year and the legends of the saints of the annual cycle with typological scenes from the Old Testament and with examples of nature. The "Concordantiae Caritatis" are among the highlights of the large-scale typological image-text cycles of the Middle Ages , along with the Bible moralisée , the Bible for the poor (Biblia Pauperum) and the mirror of salvation (Speculum humanae salvationis).
The original of the "Concordantiae Caritatis" is the Codex Campililiensis 151, which is kept in Lilienfeld Abbey . The most important copies of this work can be found in the libraries of Budapest (Piarists), New York ( Morgan Library & Museum ), Paris ( Bibliothèque nationale de France ), Eichstätt, Munich and Manchester.
It is extremely uncertain whether Abbot Ulrich can also be attributed reflections on the psalm titles (Codex Campiliensis 192) and a commentary on the Gospel of John and Luke (Codex Campiliensis 194).
