Summary/Abstract: Joachim of Fiore is one of the most interesting personalities of western late medieval church life, who was recognized as prophet in his lifetime. With his work he predicted foundation of Franciscan and Dominican orders, and left influence on spiritual Franciscans, heretical groups – Apostolic Brethren, Fraticelli, Provençal Beguines, but also on Augustinian hermits and Jesuits. Joachimist influence can be traced to the 17th century, and there is an echo of his work in writings of 18th and 19th century thinkers.
