Book excerpt: Acclaimed worldwide this authoritative series is the best and most comprehensive history of Western Christian Mysticism available to date. Upon request from libraries, collections and scholars Herder&Herder offers this special hardcover edition. This volume is a tour-de-force study of classic German mystical thought from Thomas Aquinas and his master, Albert the Great to Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa. This volume's importance rests not only in its comprehensive study of the fertile period which produced Meister Eckhart, John Tauler, and Henri Suso, but in its lucid discussion of the problem of mysticism as it comes to the fore in this era.
