About This Book

A compilation of mystical writings by a contemplative presents vivid accounts of spiritual ascent, distinguishing active, practical love from passive quietism. It combines a biographical account, doctrinal prefaces, and treatises that analyze stages of inward life, illumination, and union, using intense, precise imagery. The translator and editor note textual choices and warn against spiritual errors while emphasizing charity and humility as fruits of contemplation. The collection balances visionary language with careful theological argumentation and pastoral concern.
