Meister Eckhart, the great mystical writer and philosopher, presented his works in two forms. The Latin works introduce his thought in more analytic detail and precision. He used his German works including popular sermons and treatises, to introduce more personal reflections. These thoughts are considered his “mystical” writings on topics as varied as the poverty of spirit, the birth of Christ in the soul, and other influential themes.
This new volume contains the entire text of all the vernacular works of of Meister Eckhart translated into English by Maurice O’C. Walshe. The book has been edited by Bernard McGinn, one of Eckhart’s foremost interpreters.
