Joachim of Fiore

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

Joachim of Fiore (c. 1132-1202)

Italian mystic, born in Calabria. In his mystical writings he interpreted history as a sequence of three ages, that of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the last of which, the age of perfect spirituality, was to begin in 1260. His messianic views were taken up enthusiastically by many followers.

He was a Cistercian monk, and abbot of Corazzo from 1177. He founded his own order at San Giovanni in Fiore.
