Description:The medieval Flemish mystic Jan van Ruusbroec (1293-1381) is often highly praised. Cuthbert Butler, for one, concluded that there "certainly" has been "no greater mystical writer."

The first two chapters are dedicated to finding out, always on the basis of the mystics' own reports, what essentially characterizes mystics, what they experience and how they experience it, why they write and in what manner, and Ruusbroec's own description of mystical experience is covered in five chapters.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
