 Caesar of Heisterbach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1250, was the prior of a former Cistercian monastery of Heisterbach, in the Siebengebirge near the little town of Oberdollendorf, Germany.
He is best known as the compiler of a book of hagiography that contains many wondrous tales of miracles in the form of dialogues between a monk and a novice, the Dialogus magnus visionum ac miraculorum, which is a consistently readable and entertaining, if somewhat sensationalistic and credulous, compilation of that lore.
He is also remembered for a maxim on the rise and fall of monasteries; he wrote that discipline causes prosperity in a monastery, and prosperity undermines discipline.

We might amend the old formula with which the monk Caesar of Heisterbach explained the downfall of monasticism, and apply it to technology instead: responsibility enjoys technological control; but control, by its intimidating consequences, discourages responsibility; responsibility in its fall pulls down technological control.(15) However, didn't we speak also of a promising future?
