Joachim of Fiore, also known as Joachim of Flora (Italian: Gioacchino da Fiore; Latin: Ioachim Florensis; c. 1135 – 30 March 1202), was an Italian Christian theologian, Catholic abbot, and the founder of the monastic order of San Giovanni in Fiore.[1] According to theologian Bernard McGinn, "Joachim of Fiore is the most important apocalyptic thinker of the whole medieval period."[2] The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri is one of the most famous works possibly inspired by his ideas.[3] Later followers, inspired by his works in Christian eschatology and historicist theories, are called Joachimites. On June 27, 2024[4], Pope Francis, in his message for the World Day of Creation, quoted Joachim of Fiore as saying that he "Joachim was able to propose the ideal of a new spirit" [5] and thus marks a turning point in history, as this had never happened before in more than eight centuries since the death of the Florensis monk.
