Paradisus anime intelligentis

Paradisus anime intelligentis is the Latin name of one of the most important late medieval collections of German sermons, about half of which comprises sermons by Meister Eckhart. The studies deal with the theological programme of the sermons, the manuscripts, their transmission and processing, together with selected individual texts. The volume is completed by a study of a contiguous collection, the Kölner Klosterpredigten [Cologne Monastic Sermons].

Zusammenfassung

"The Paradisus anime intelligentis is arguably the most important sermon collection to survive from late medieval Germany; a collection in which an edited selection of Meister Eckhart's sermons is incorporated within a much broader spectrum of Dominican philosophical-theological preaching in the German vernacular from the earlier part of the fourteenth century."
