is the author of a Latin hymn, "De S. Johanne Baptista," commencing, "Praecursoris Baptistse." The only notice we have of Pistor is that given by Clichtovlus in Elucidator Eccles. p. 198, where we read: "Auctor ejus (viz. of the hymn) fuisse traditur eximius pater Henricus Pistor, doctor theologus Parisiensis, et in religiosa domo Sti. Victoris juxta Parisios monasticam vitam professus, qui etiam Concilio Constantinensi (1414-18) interfuit, eaque tempestate, doctrina et virtute mirifice floruit." This is about all. As to the hymn itself, the first verse runs thus:

Praecursoris et Baptistse Diem istum chorus iste Veueretur landibus.

Vero die jam diescat, Ut in nostris elucescat Verus dies mentibus.

See Daniel, Thesaur-us Hymnol. 2, 169; Trench, Sacred Latin Poetry, p. 9i sq.; Rambach, Anthologie christl. Ges nge, p. 364. (B. P.)
