Alan of the Rock OP (Ecclesiastical Latin: Alanus de Rupe; French: Alain de la Roche c. 1428 – 8 September 1475)[2] was a Breton-born priest and Dominican friar and priest, mystic and theologian. Some writers claim him as a native of Germany, others of Belgium; but his disciple, Cornelius Sneek, says that he was born in Brittany. He died at Zwolle.[3] He is especially notable for his contributions to the Catholic devotion of the Rosary: According to tradition, the devotion to the Holy Rosary had been neglected and forgotten in most of Europe in the centuries after Saint Dominic established it,[4] and Alan is credited with re-establishing the devotion.[5]
