ABOUT THIS BOOK: The spiritual tradition of the Low Countries, mostly written in Dutch (or Flemish, which is the same language) must rank, together with the German School, as the most important vernacular tradition in late medieval and early modern Europe. This book presents for the first time texts from this school of Netherlandish mysticism of the late medieval period in English translation. It contains extracts or full treatises from all the major representatives of this school after the death of Jan van Ruusbroec. None of these texts are available in English, and some were never published at all but were translated from late medieval manuscripts. The book contains texts of a mystical and pastoral nature, often dealing with the problem of suffering, reflecting the troubled times during which they were written. Readers will appreciate the wide variety of texts offered here. There are a number of more "traditional" mystical-theological writings that look back to the age of Ruusbroec, developing a profound spirituality of the Trinity (for instance, William Jordaens, a contemporary of Ruusbroec, but also the author of The Evangelical Pearl and the Temple of the Soul). Some of the texts focus almost exclusively on the suffering of Christ, and others anticipate some of the key-themes of the Reformation.(Publisher).…

Paper Back. Condition: New. This newest edition to one of our best-selling series presents a selection of mystical texts from the Netherlands.

Naturally, the authors in this volume will not be familiar to a general readership, though many follow the tradition of Jan van Ruusbroec, 'foremost of the Flemish mystics.' The difficult era in which these men and women lived deeply affected their meditations on suffering, spiritual direction and Trinitarian theology. The range of genres spans Augustinian and Franciscan, poetic and devotional, practical and metaphysical, providing a glimpse of spiritual life in Western Europe just prior to the Reformation and the Modern Era.…
