Alanus de Rupe

Alanus de Rupe

Alanus de Rupe (also Alan or Alain de la Roche), was a Roman Catholic theologian, born about 1428; died at Zwolle in the Netherlands, 8 September, 1475. Some writers claim him as a native of Germany, others of Belgium; but his disciple, Cornelius Sneek, O.P., assures us that he was born in Brittany.

Early in life he entered the Dominican Order, and while pursuing his studies at Saint Jacques, Paris, he distinguished himself in philosophy and theology. From 1459 to 1475 he taught almost uninterruptedly at Paris, Lille, Douay, Ghent, and Rostock in Germany, where, in 1473, he was made Master of Sacred Theology. During his sixteen years of teaching he became a most renowned preacher. He was indefatigable in what he regarded as his special mission, the preaching and re-establishment of the Rosary, which he did with success throughout northern France, Flanders, and the Netherlands.

His vision of the restoration of the devotion of the Rosary is assigned to the year 1460. Alanus published nothing during his lifetime, but immediately after his death the brethren of his province were commanded to collect his writings for publication. These were edited at different times and have occasioned much controversy among scholars.

His relations of the visions and sermons of St. Dominic, supposed to have been revealed to Alanus, are, according to the "Catholic Encyclopedia" not to be regarded as historical. However, Patrick Cardinal Hayes of New York provided his imprimatur in support of the fifteen rosary promises attributed to Saint Dominic and Alan de Rupe [Rosary promises http://www.catholic.org/clife/mary/promises.php] .In this attribution, the Blessed Virgin Mary reportedly made fifteen specific promises to Christians who pray the rosary [Dominican Fathers on the Rosary http://www.rosary-center.org/nconobl.htm] . The fifteen rosary promises range from protection from misfortune to meriting a high degree of glory in heaven [Holyrosary.org http://www.theholyrosary.org/power.html] .

His works are published by Graesse in his "Trésor des livres rates et précieux".
