HENRY OF KALKAR. - Cistercian, b. in 1328 at Kalkar (Rhineland), d. at Cologne on 20 Dec. 1408. After studying at Cologne and Paris he entered the Order in 1365 at Cologne. He became prior in 1368, and he exercised this office in various monasteries. Between 1375 and 1395 he was visitor of the German province and of the French one. He wrote various works, not all of them published, among which: Exercitatorium monachale seu speculum peccatorum, attributed by some to Denis the Carthusian (Op. Min. II, Cologne 1532, cols. 494-96 under the title De via purgativa); Brevis historia Ordinis Cartusiensis, important because it constitutes the first source of the history of the Order (E. Martène, Veterum scriptorum... amplissima collectio, VI, Paris 1729, cols. 149-216).
