Marguerite Porete: The Mirror of Simple Souls
Logos Editions are fully connected to your library and Bible study tools.
Overview
Margaret Porete (ca. 1310) was a beguine from Hainaut who was burned at the stake as a relapsed heretic. This volume contains the first modern English translation of the complete text of The Mirror, written between 1296 and 1306. It is a theological treatise that analyzes how love in humans is related to divine love and how the soul may experience a lasting union with God in this life. With this volume, readers may better understand the ancient expressions of faith, othodox or otherwise, of the middle ages.
For a massive collection including over a hundred and twenty of the volumes in this series, see the Classics of Western Spirituality Bundle (126 vols.).
