Synopsis:
Here is the first English translation based on the new critical edition of The Flowing Light of the Godhead, the sole mystical visionary work of Mechthild, a 1thirteenth-century (c. 1260-c. 1282/94) German Beguine. This challenging work of deep religious insight reflects Mechthild's inner life, and Gods as well, employing a great variety of traditional medieval literary forms and genres in prose and verse.
