The Prophecies of Joachim of Fiore and Their Pseudo-Joachite Reception

Record summary

AI-recalled lead: Joachim of Fiore’s Trinitarian historical scheme, developed in works such as the Liber concordie and Expositio in Apocalypsim, inspired later expectations of an imminent new spiritual age. Numerous texts and predictions circulated under Joachim’s name, including pseudo-Joachite writings that influenced mendicants, reformers and political movements. This is a historical prophetic tradition rather than a single incident report. It matters for comparing canon formation, apocalyptic chronology and retrospective attribution. Dating and attribution of individual prophecies are often highly contested.
