WERNER OF RATISBON. - Franciscan mystical writer of the second half of the 13th century.

Lector in the convent of Ratisbon and probably custos of Bavaria, in 1278 he was a peace arbitrator in the dispute between Bishop Henry II of Ratisbon and the Chapter of St. Emmeram. He attended Duke Henry of Bavaria on his deathbed (Feb. 3, 1290).

His Liber soliloquiorum is famous, a true flower of early German Franciscan mysticism and of Lauds literature. An Onomasticon sacrum is also attributed to him.
