Henry de Balnea is the mistaken identity created byThomas Tanner for the author ofSpeculum spiritualium.
Balnea was of theCarthusian order. Of the exact date at which he flourished there seems to be no certain information; but as he quotes from bothRichard Hampole, who died in 1349, andWalter Hylton, who died in 1395, he cannot well be assigned to an earlier period than the fifteenth century. Tanner infers that Henry de Balnea was an Englishman from the fact that he quotes Hylton in English.
