Deutsche Mystik Im Abendlandischen Zusammenhang - Neu Erschlossene Texte, Neue Methodische Ansatze, Neue Theoretische Konzepte. Kolloquium Kloster Fischingen 1998 (German, Hardcover, Reprint 2011 ed.)

The studies assembled in this volume were presented at an interdisciplinary colloquium in 1998 on the subject of research into Western mysticism and where it stands at the present moment. In historical and geographical terms they cover a broad range of texts extending from the earliest beginnings to the flowering of mysticism in the late Middle Ages and the early modern age. In addition they confront fundamental issues of a theoretical and methodological nature, notably in connection with mystic language, mystic imagery and the question of corpo-reality. The edition also presents a number of hitherto unknown or unpublished texts.
