Heinrich Suso, a German ascetic writer, also known as Brother Amandus, but whose real name was Von Berg, born in Ueberlingen, on Lake Constance, about 1300, died in Ulm, Jan. 25, 1365. He was educated in a Dominican convent at Constance, and at Cologne under the mystic Eckhart. After his mother's death he adopted her family name in his 18th year, and led a life of penance at the Constance convent till 1340, when he became an itinerant preacher of great influence, especially among women. His anniversary is celebrated by the Dominicans on March 2. Gorres, who translated his autobiography, regarded him as among the most fascinating writers of his class, and his Horologium sapnentioe, AEternoe, (1480) ranked in the middle ages next to the "Imitation of Christ." His works, which were written in Latin, have been often reprinted and translated into several languages (modern German by Diepenbrock, Ratisbon, 1829 and 1838). A new edition of his Briefe, by Prega, appeared in 1867.
