Although Ludolph of Saxony, Carthusian, produced a very detailed Life
of Jesus Christ, little is known of his own life. From his name it is inferred
that his place of origin was the province of Saxony; he was born at the end
of the thirteenth century. It is also believed that for many years he was a
Dominican friar. Ludolph entered the Carthusian monastery near Strasbourg
in 1340, where he clearly made a favorable impression on his fellow
Carthusians, for he was elected prior of Coblenz in 1343, just three years
after joining the Order. He resigned five years later, the reason being,
according to the chapter of 1348, to settle a qualm of conscience. What this
was is not known, but it has been suggested that he may have considered his
election faulty because a prohibition announced at the chapter of 1319
barred anyone who transferred to the Carthusians from a mendicant order
from holding office.1 Following his resignation Ludolph lived at the
charterhouse of Mainz and subsequently returned to Strasbourg, the house
of his profession, where he died on April 13, 1378.
Ludolph has been credited with several works (even, incorrectly, theImitation of Christ), but the two major writings that are surely from his pen
are the Expositio in Psalterium Davidis and his most influential book, the
Vita Iesu Christi. This magisterial work presents the entire sweep of the life
of Christ, from the eternal generation of the Son through his incarnation,
ministry, death, and resurrection, concluding with the Last Judgment.
