description: "Louis de Blois, also known by the Latinized name Ludovicus Blosius, was a Flemish Benedictine abbot, mystical theologian, and spiritual writer associated with the transmission of late medieval Christian mysticism into the spirituality of the Catholic Reformation. As abbot of Liessies Abbey, he became an influential figure in monastic reform in the Habsburg Netherlands and one of the most widely read devotional authors of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. His writings synthesized elements from the Rheno-Flemish mystical tradition, especially Johannes Tauler, Jan van Ruusbroec, Henry Suso, and Hendrik Herp, while remaining rooted in Benedictine asceticism, sacramental devotion, and obedience."
