Alipe Reylof (1612–1682) was a theologian from the Habsburg Netherlands.

Life[edit]

Born in 1612, Reylof joined the Augustinian Hermits and made his profession in 1632.[1] He was ordained to the priesthood in 1636. He taught philosophy at his order's house in Ghent for six years, and later theology in Bruges and Leuven.[1] In 1652 he was appointed prior in Ypres, and in 1655 in Ghent. On 15 October 1671 the general of his order awarded him a doctorate of theology.[1] Towards the end of his life he resigned from teaching and scholarship to focus on preaching and providing spiritual direction. He died in Ghent on 30 December 1682.[1]
