Leonard P Hindsley

Leonard P. Hindsley has produced books in his special area of interest - 14th century Dominican women mystics in Germany. That was an unprecedented century of mystic writings produced by Dominican nuns. Margaret Ebner (1291-1351) wrote her Revelations, a spiritual autobiography written at the Monastery of Maria Medingen. In The Mystics of Engelthal: Writings from a Medieval Monastery he surveys the astounding production of mystical texts concerning the nuns and priests of the Monastery of Engelthal. One of these texts appears in Adelheid Langmann's Revelations, also a mystical autobiography. He was able to translate these texts because he holds a doctorate in Germanic Languages and Literatures specializing in medieval literature. He presents commentary and interpretations of these texts having specialized in spirituality for the S.T.L.(Licentiate in Sacred Theology). Forthcoming is a translation and commentary on Christina Ebner's (1277-1356) Sister-Book of Engelthal. He is preparing a book on the Spirituality of St. Dominic as influenced by St. John Cassian. After that he will print a translation of Christina Ebner's spiritual autobiography. Leonard Hindsley is professor emeritus of Providence College and is now happily retired and able to finish these important texts for publication.
