The series MISCELLANEA MEDIAEVALIA was founded by Paul Wilpert in
1962 and since then has presented research from the Thomas
Institute of the University of Cologne. The cornerstone of the
series is provided by the proceedings of the biennial Cologne
Medieval Studies Conferences, which were established over 50 years
ago by Josef Koch, the founding director of the Institute. The
interdisciplinary nature of these conferences is reflected in the
proceedings. The MISCELLANEA MEDIAEVALIA gather together papers
from all disciplines represented in Medieval Studies - medieval
history, philosophy, theology, together with art and literature,
all contribute to an overall perspective of the Middle Ages.

When Dr. Romana Guarnieri, in a letter to Osservatore Romano (16
June 1946), announced her discovery that Margaret Porette (d. 1
June 1310) was the author of The Mirror of Simple Souls, certainly
a major French document of pre-Reformation spirituality, a
sensation was created in the academic world. Although The Mirror is
one of the few heretical documents to have survived the Middle Ages
in its entirety, both its title and its authorship were among the
most persistent and troublesome problems of scholarly research in
the field of medieval vernacular languages. The Mirror, in its
original French, survives only in the fifteenth-century manuscript
which the great Condé (Louis II de Bourbon) had acquired for his
palace at Chantilly. And, so far as can be known, all that remains
with which to compare the readings of this manuscript text are
those translations of The Mirror which, also in manuscript, are to
be found in Latin, Italian, and Middle English. This edition of The
Mirror of Simple Souls is a translation from the French original
with interpretive essays by Edmund Colledge, O.S.A., Judith Grant,
and J.C. Marler, and a foreword by Kent Emery, Jr. The translators
of this Modern English version rely primarily on the French, yet
take other medieval translations into account. As a result, this
edition offers a reading of The Mirror which solves a number of
difficulties found in the French, and the introductions contributed
by the translators narrate the archival history of the book, for
which Margaret Porette was burned alive in Paris in 1310.
This volume examines depictions of Christ in the writings and art
of the medieval Dominicans. The multidisciplinary essays provide
perspectives on the life and thought of the Order of the Preachers,
focusing on the role of Christ within the devotion and imagination
of the Order.
