  Joachim of Fiore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born in the small village of Celico near Cosenza, in Calabria, at the time part of the Kingdom of Sicily, Joachim was the son of Mauro the notary, who was well placed, and Gemma, his wife.
He was educated at Cosenza, where he became first a clerk in the courts, and then a notary himself, and worked in 1166–67 for Etienne du Perche, archbishop of Palermo and chancellor of Marguerite, regent for the young William II of Sicily.
Joachim retired first to the hermitage of Pietralata, writing all the while, and then founded the Abbey of Fiore (or Flora) in the mountains of Calabria; Flora became the center of a new and stricter branch of the Cistercian Order, approved by [[Pope Celestine IIICelestine III in 1198.

 frontline: apocalypse!: apocalypticism explained: joachim of fiore
Joachim of Fiore is the most important apocalyptic thinker of the whole medieval period, and maybe after the prophet John, the most important apocalyptic thinker in the history of Christianity.
Joachim broke with that, by finding in the images and symbols of the Book of the Apocalypse the whole history of the Church: the past, the present that he was living in, and the future to come.
Joachim was a real apocalypticist in the original sense of the prophet John and others, because he believed the current events that he saw around him, particularly events connected with persecution of Christians, were signs of the times, signs that had been predicted in the Book of the Apocalypse and now were being fulfilled.

 Medieval Church.org.uk: Joachim of Fiore (c.1135 - 1202)
The first point in which Joachim drew down upon himself the censure of the Church, though not until after his death, was his polemics against the scholastic exposition of the doctrine of the Holy Trinity by Petrus Lombardus.
Joachim taught that there had been a reign of the Father from the creation to the birth of Christ, and a reign of the Son, which should come to an end in 1260, and be followed by a reign of the Holy Spirit.

Joachim of Fiore's important contribution to the western intellectual tradition was to develop a persuasive outline of how the history of mankind would evolve through three successive stages culminating in an age of the Holy Spirit filled with bliss and understanding.
Joachim's own ideas became altered and debased, however, when other strains of apocalyptic thought were added, creating a medley of apocalyptic lore from which emerged a general feeling of anticipation that important eschatological events were about to occur.
Joachim of Fiore's theories lent justification and authority to their efforts by predicting that the New Age would be led by new monastic communities.

GM Venzi, The Hermeneutic of Joachim of Fiore
Joachim of Fiore is certainly considered as one of the more characteristic of thinkers, both for the depth of his theological subjects and the impression left in medieval philosophy; it is no coincidence that we talk about the Joachimist era.
Joachim does not believe that the literal interpretation should disappear completely, instead he was convinced that some texts existed that God Himself wanted to be interpreted to the letter, for example the learning literature of the Old Testament and the Letters of the New.

Joachim was not a heretic in the European fashion--he was not a wandering hermit preaching against the corrupt Church and advocating a return to Apostolic poverty.
As Joachimism became blended with Catharism, it was relatively simple to transform the radical dualism of the Cathars (which is NOT represented in the Tarot) into the more orthodox expression of dualism in Neoplatonism (which MAY be represented in the Tarot).
Joachim’s ideas were readily accepted into the syncretism of the Renaissance because their vision of a new classical golden age fit well with the emergence of an Age of the Spirit.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Joachim of Flora
Joachim now retired to the hermitage of Pietralata, and finally founded the Abbey of Fiore (or Flora) among the Calabrian mountains, which became the center of a new and stricter branch of the Cistercian Order approved by Celestine III in 1198.
Joachim held that the second period was drawing to a close, and that the third epoch (already in part anticipated by St. Benedict) would actually begin after some great cataclysm which he tentatively calculated would befall in 1260.
Although certain doctrines of Joachim concerning the Blessed Trinity were condemned by the Lateran Council in 1215, his main teaching does not seem to have excited suspicion until the middle of the century.

 Review Essay:
Joachim held that history unfolds in three stages (status), reflecting the pattern of the Trinity in time; and he proclaimed concords between Old and New Testament figures (somewhat as in standard Biblical typology) and between these and later churchmen.
Elements of Joachimism spread north, west, and east, affecting figures as diverse as F. Schelling in Germany and the patriot Mazzini in Italy.
Joachim of Fiore and the Myth of the Eternal Evangel in the Nineteenth Century deserves wide distribution among scholars (who must be prepared to read Latin and French)--scholars of comparative literature, religion, interdisciplinary studies, the Middle Ages, nineteenth and twentieth centuries, secret societies and occultism.

JOACHIM OF FIORE [Joachim of Fiore], c.1132-1202, Italian Cistercian monk.
In his "Age of the Spirit" the hierarchy of the church would be unnecessary and infidels would unite with Christians.
Joachim's works had a vogue in the 13th and the 14th cent.; many, especially the extremist Spiritual Franciscans, acclaimed him as a prophet.

 ALEXANDER PATSCHOVSKY
Joachim's speculative shift to a general level to which the individual historical figures are related and from which they acquire their significance within the divine plan was not without consequences for the actual historical personages in his concept of history.
For Joachim it was a matter of indifference whether the German-Roman Empire or the empires of Islam from Mohammed to ‘Meselmut’ and Saladin were to be regarded as the appointed enemies of the Church in the fifth age of the New Testament.
Joachim's rich and variable range of possible applications of the paradigm of the persecution of the Church is radically narrowed down to the aspect of its inner decay.

Joachim now retired to the hermitage of Pietralata, and finally founded the Abbey of Fiore (or Flora) among the Calabrian mountains, which became the center of a new and stricter branch of the Cistercian Order approved by

The heretical potential of Joachim's historical scheme was that in the third era, mankind would transcend the institution of the Church itself.
It was through Columbus, first of all, that the prophecies of Joachim di Fiore passed into the ideology of Spanish conquest in the New World.
Though the idea was hardly unique to Joachim, this group, in Spain, shared in the general crusader conception of the late Middle Ages that the millennium would be inaugurated by the reconquest of Jerusalem and the Holy Land from the Moslems.

Joachim was a visionary and prophet who, early in life, adopted an ascetic life.
Joachim helped to give birth to this new mood of feeling and spontaneity, which later found song in such words as "O Jesus, King Most Wonderful" and "Jesu, the very thought of Thee." It was Pentecost set to music:
With this inner fire went a consuming love that burned in the heart of Saint Francis and his friars, that sent Dominic and his preachers out of their churches into the hills and highways, and that in a thousand monasteries set up Christian communities to care for the welfare of the people.

 Centre College: Apocalpytic Visions: Phi Beta Kappa Lecture explores end of time prophecies
McGinn's lecture will explore prophecy and heritage of Joachim of Fiore, arguably the most influential prophet of the end of times since John.
Joachim theorized the dawn a new age, based on his interpretation of verses in the Book of Revelation, in which the hierarchy of the church would be unnecessary and infidels would unite with Christians.
Since much of the effect of Joachim's thought was due to his creation of new symbols for understanding history and its coming end, McGinn's presentation will make use of the illustrated diagrams (figurae) that the abbot created to present his theology of history.

He surveys apocalyptic scholarship and concludes with Joachim of Fiore that the Apocalypse is "the key of things past, the knowledge of things to come; the opening of what is sealed, the uncovering of what is hidden" (19).
Of particular interest is the discussion of the *Glossa ordinaria* and its influence on study of the apocalypse through the ages.
As such, the essay provides a focal point for the entire volume; Daniel mentions the development of a "new spirituality" connected with the reform movements of the eleventh and twelfth centuries (76), exemplified by a shift in the depiction of Christ and thus a shift in eschatological thought in general.
