Complete Mystical Works of Meister Eckhart - Tapa dura

Now available in a single-volume edition, this exhaustive collection has been completely revised and includes a new introduction by a leading Eckhart scholar. Containing the entire text of all of Eckhart's vernacular--the German texts, which present his personal reflections on topics such as the poverty of spirit and the birth of Christ in the soul--this treasury is the authoritative volume of Eckhart's enduring legacy to Christianity.
