BOSTIUS, ARNOLD. - Flemish Carmelite (a descendant of the noble Van Vaernewijk family, lords of Borst, he Latinized his name to Bostius). Born at Ghent in 1445, died there on 4 April 1499. One of the most eminent men of his Order for virtue and learning; he was the soul of the humanistic movement among the Carmelites in the second half of the fifteenth century. Always in contact with the great humanists of that era, he contributed no small amount through his works to a revival of the study of the history of his Order.

Among his works worthy of mention are: De illustribus viris Ordinis BVM. de M. Carmelo (edited by Daniel a V. M. in Speculum Carm., II [Antwerp 1680], pp. 886-96); Speculum historiale (ms. bibl. Naz. Brera, Milan); De patronatu B. Virg. Mariae (edited by Daniel a V. M. in Speculum Carm., I [Antwerp 1680], pp. 375-431).
