Meister Eckhart and the Beguine Mystics : Hadewijch of Brabant, Mechthild of Magdeburg, and Marguerite Porete

"The great German mystic Meister Eckhart remains one of the most fascinating figures in Western thought. Revived interest in Eckhart's mysticism has been matched, and even surpassed, by the study of the women mystics of the late13th century. This book argues that Eckhart's thought cannot be fully be understood until it is viewed against the background of the breakthroughs made by the women mystics who preceded him."--Amazon.com MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict Contents 6 Abbreviations 7 List of Contributors 8 Preface 10 Introduction: Meister Eckhart and the Beguines in the Context of Vernacular Theology 12 Part I: Hadewijch, Mechthild, and Meister Eckhart 26 1.
