Italian original Cite

ADRIAENSENS, ADRIAEN. - Born in Antwerp, a Jesuit in 1546, superior of the community of Louvain (1551-61), where he died on 18 October 1580.

After 1567 he published in Flemish a series of treatises on the Our Father, Confession, the three evangelical counsels, etc., which have original value, especially the Van Dinspreken des Heeren (Louvain 1570, in Latin at Cologne 1601; De divinis inspirationibus). His Montagna spirituale (Eenen gheestelijchen Bergh, Louvain 1568) already sketches a more synthetic exposition of the spiritual life. Many of his letters are published in the Monumenta Historica Societatis Iesu (Litt. quadrimestres, Epist. Mixtæ).
