The Mirror of Simple Souls

Více o knize

Exploring the spiritual journey of the soul, this work by Marguerite Porete delves into the ecstatic union with God, where the soul transcends ordinary virtue, achieving a state of perpetual joy and peace. Porete, a French mystic executed for heresy, presents a vision where the soul, in perfect alignment with the divine, becomes incapable of sin. Attributed to her only in the mid-20th century, the text is a crucial piece of medieval mysticism, reflecting Porete's beliefs and the broader context of her life within the Beguine movement and her trial for heretical views.
