The Cell of Self-Knowledge - The Cell of Self-Knowledge by HenryPepwell
Excerpt: FROM the end of the thirteenth to the beginning of the fifteenth century may be called the golden age of mystical literature in the
vernacular.In Germany,many lesser writers who strove, in prose or in poetry, to express the hidden things of the spirit, the secret intercourse of the human soul with the Divine, no longer in the official Latin of the Church, but in the language of their own people, "a man's own vernacular," which "is nearest to him, inasmuch as it is most closely united to him."[1] In England, the great names
of Richard Rolle, the Hermit of Hampole (d. 1349), of Walter Hilton (d. 1396), and of Mother Juliana of Norwich, whose Revelation of
Divine Love professedly date from 1373, speak for themselves.
