        • found: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, April 18, 2016:Hugh of Balma page (Hugh of Balma, also known as Hugo of Balma or Hughe of Dorche; Carthusian theologian; generally acknowledged to be the author of the work Viae Syon Lugent, also known as De Triplici Via and De Theologia Mystica; identified, since the seventeenth century, with Hugh of Dorche, prior of the Carthusian Charter house of Meyriat in Bresse, 1293-1295 and 1303-1305; an alternative theory holds that the author of Viae Syon Lugent was not Hugh of Dorche but an Englishman who studied in Paris in the 1250s and was not a Carthusian; most likely theory is that he was a Carthusian prior of the Charterhouse of Meyrat and so identical with Hugh of Dorche; Viae Syon Lugent written between 1240 and 1297) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_of_Balma
