		Geert Groote vestigde zich nu weer in Deventer in de Bagijnenstraat, niet echter in zijn oude huis.
		Groote is een veel te reële geest om, wanneer hij na zijn bekering zich vol walging van deze kermis der ijdelheid afwendt, ook afstand te doen van het arsenaal van argumenten dat deze scholing hem verschaft had, maar dezelfde praktische instelling leert hem, dat hij daarmee niet kan volstaan.
		Grube, Grootes katholieke biograaf, laat niet na erop te wijzen, dat ook Luther, gelijk Grootes ergste vijand Barthelomeus te Kampen, een augustijner monnik was en het is bekend, dat in de jaren der Hervorming heel wat bedelmonniken tot zelfs een vicaris-generaal der kapucijnen met een grote aanhang naar het nieuwe geloof overgingen.

	Gerard Groote Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		The Dutch evangelical preacher Gerard Groote (1340-1384) is considered the founder of the Brethren of the Common Life and of the Devotio Moderna, a religious movement which contributed to the Protestant Reformation.
		Groote's popularity was the result of his preaching in the vernacular (unlike the Latin services of the Church) and his appeal to the spiritual ideals of the times.
		Thus Gerard Groote has a double significance: he is the culmination of popular religious feeling in the Middle Ages, the search for a more meaningful faith; and he is one of the spiritual forerunners of the Protestant Reformation.

		Geert Groote (October 1340 – 20 August 1384), otherwise Gerrit or Gerhard Groet, in Latin Gerardus Magnus, was a Dutch preacher and founder of the Brethren of the Common Life.
		It was in vain that Groote emitted a Publica Protestatio, in which he declared that Jesus was the great subject of his discourses, that in all of them he believed himself to be in harmony with Catholic doctrine, and that he willingly subjected them to the candid judgment of the Roman Church.
		To initiation of this movement was the great achievement of Groote's life; he lived to preside over the birth and first days of his other creation, the society of Brethren of the Common Life.

		Geert commenced his education in the school of his native place, and was then removed to Aix-la-Chapelle, and afterwards to Paris, where his career fell in the troublous times of the domination of the _Prev t des marchands,_ Jean Marcel, and the plague and famine that desolated the city.
		Geert Groote hastened to his native place, and busied himself in diligent attendance on the stricken men, ministering fearlessly both to their bodily comfort and to their ghostly welfare.
		Another of Geert Groote's earliest fellow-labourers was John Van der Gronde, a native of Ootmarsum.

		Groote was the first successful practical mystic, who worked and prayed, and taught others to do the same.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Brethren of the Common Life
		The reformer, of course, was opposed by the clerks whose evil lives he denounced, but the cry of heresy was raised in vain against one who was no less zealous for purity of faith than for purity of morals.
		When Groote began, learning in the Netherlands was as rare as virtue; the University of Louvain had not yet been founded, and the fame of the schools of Liège was only a memory.
		Through their unflagging toil in the scriptorium and afterwards at the press they were able to multiply their spiritual writings and to scatter them broadcast throughout the land, instinct with the spirit of the "Imitation".

	Geert Groote Summary
		Geert Groote (1340 – 20 August 1384), otherwise Gerrit or Gerhard Groet, in Latin Gerardus Magnus,was a preacher and founder of the Brethren of the Common Life.
		The impartiality of his censures, which he directed not only against the prevailing sins of the laity, but also against heresy, simony, avarice, and impurity among the secular and regular clergy, provoked the hostility of the clergy, and accusations of heterodoxy were brought against him.
		It was in vain that Groot emitted a Publica Protestatio, in which he declared that Jesus was the great subject of his discourses, that in all of them he believed himself to be in harmony with Catholic doctrine, and that he willingly subjected them to the candid judgment of the Roman Church.

		Groote stressed a return to the purity of the early Church, to the ideas of Jerome, Augustine, and others of the Church Fathers.
		Groote and his fellow reformers based much of their spirituality on Saint Bernard, and they were especially attracted to his interests in monastic reform and practical mysticism.

	Brethren of the Common Life at AllExperts
		The Brethren of the Common Life was a religious Roman Catholic community founded in the 14th century by Geert Groote, formerly a successful and worldly educator who had had a religious experience and preached a life of simple devotion to Jesus Christ.
		When Groote began, learning in the Netherlands was rare; the University of Leuven had not yet been founded, and the fame of the schools of LiÃ¨ge was only a memory.
		Apart from some of the clergy who had studied at Paris or Cologne, there were no scholars in the land; even amongst the higher clergy there were many who were ignorant of Latin, and the burgher was quite content if when his children left school they were able to read and write.

	Theosophy Trust
		Geert Groote, feeling the movement of awakening soul-consciousness within himself even whilst he was in Rome watching the Great Schism loom over the deathbed of Urban V, returned to his native Deventer to renounce his offices and to take up the spiritual life as a deacon.
		Seeking the guidance of Ruysbroeck, he became an itinerant preacher, and, when his licence to preach was withdrawn by Rome, he founded the Brethren of the Common Life and the complementary Sisters of the Common Life.
		When Windesem was founded after Groote's death, John à Kempis (renamed after the village of his birth) became one of its first six Canons Regular.

	A History Of The So-Called Jansenist Church Of Holland by Rev. J.M. Neale
		The magnificent buildings and lordly establishments of Haarlem, Deventer, Oldenzaal, Gouda, Leeuwarden, Groningen, and other places, had produced, as we have seen, a set of ecclesiastics who, by their luxury, want of learning, and too often dissolute lives, promised but a feeble defence against the wave of the Reformation, as it rolled onwards from Germany.
		The third generation of the Brothers of the Common Life had passed away, and Geert Groote’s prophecy was in part fulfilled.
		The declarations of the council of Margaret of Pavia, Governante of the Low Countries, that she had nothing to fear from such a band of beggars (Gueux), suggested the name, the wooden bowl, and the wallet which the confederacy adopted as its mark.

		Geert Groote, the translator of the Latin prayers, was responsible for this mystical contribution.
		The Eternal Wisdom opens with the Fall of the Angels, the only known example of this subject being represented in Dutch illumination.
