Hilton, Walter (
c.1343–96), English contemplative writer. One of a circle of clerks associated with T.
Arundel both at
Ely and
York, after a period as a hermit,
c.1386 he became an
Augustinian canon at Thurgarton Priory, Notts. His main work is the
Scale of Perfection or
Scala Perfectionis, written in English. This describes the renewal of the defaced image of God in the soul, first by ‘reforming in faith’ and then by ‘reforming in feeling’. Between these stages is the ‘luminous darkness’ of mortification, the transition from disordered self-love to love of God. He wrote various other works in English, translated
Eight Chapters on Perfection from Spanish, and wrote academic works in Latin.
