5 unusual facts about William of St-Thierry


William of St-Thierry

On account of long infirmities and a lifelong desire for a life of contemplation, William resigned his abbacy in 1135 and entered the newly established Cistercian abbey at Signy, also in the diocese of Reims.

He probably studied at the cathedral school in Reims, though some have argued it was at Laon, prior to his profession as a Benedictine monk.

His own commentaries show his remarkable insight while they also incorporate traditional authors such as Augustine of Hippo and Origen of Alexandria.

He became a monk with his brother Simon at the monastery of St. Nicaise, also in Reims, sometime after 1111.

William of St-Thierry was a theologian and mystic, and abbot of the monastery of Saint-Thierry.
