Synopsis

JOHN TAULER COLLECTION [2 BOOKS] Johannes Tauler OP was a German mystic, a Catholic preacher and a theologian. A disciple of Meister Eckhart, he belonged to the Dominican order. Tauler was known as one of the most important Rhineland Mystics. He promoted a certain neo-platonist dimension in the Dominican spirituality of his time. Meister Eckhart, who greatly influenced him, was active in Strasbourg, though it is unclear what relationship they may have had. From Strasbourg he went to the Dominican college of Cologne, and perhaps to St James's College, Paris, ultimately returning to Strasbourg. In 1324 Strasbourg, along with other cities, was placed under a papal interdict, and so all Dominican friars left the city. Tauler went to Basel. The legend that he stayed in Strasbourg and continued to perform religious services for the people is probably due to the desire of the 16th century reformers to enroll the famous preachers of the Middle Ages among their forerunners. —BOOKS— MEDITATIONS ON THE LIFE AND PASSION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST THE INNER WAY PUBLISHER: AETERNA PRESS
