2012 Reprint of Original 1953 Edition. Exact facsimile of the
original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software.
(c)New introduction and foreword Martino Publishing. This work is
the first English translation of her 13th century classic-the
mystical writings of Mechthild of Magdeburg. The only complete
codex of this work is in the library of Einsiedeln in Switzerland,
where the translator spent three years translating the codex from a
South German translation of 1344. The book is a collection of
visions, revelations, thoughts and letters written in alternating
prose and poetry. The variety of its contents includes practical
advice on daily conduct, as well as the most sublime descriptions
of high mystical experience. Her works were early translated into
Latin, and were almost certainly known to Dante, whose vision of
heaven, hell and purgatory went on to have a great influence in
Western Literature. Her influence is traceable in the Paradiso and
by some scholars she is thought to have been the Matilda in the
earthly paradise. Her works remains to this day a classic text of
Christian mysticis
