Marguerite Porete & The Mirror of Simple Souls

Let's Talk Religion

In this episode we talk about the fascinating writer & possibly beguine Marguerite Porete (d. 1310).

Sources/Suggested Reading:

• "The Mirror of Simple Souls (From the 15th century translation of the French manuscript)". Edited by C. Kirchberger. First printed in 1927. Soul Care Publishing, Vancover, Canada.
• (This is the primary source I used for the quotes in the video, it is a very old translation so I edited the quotes myself to make more sense in modern english).

For a more modern translation I suggest:

• "Marguerite Porete: The Mirror of Simple Souls". In the "Classics of Western Spirituality Series. Paulist Press.
• McGinn, Bernard (2001). "The Mystical Thought of Meister Eckhart". The Crossroad Publishing Company.
• Tobin, Frank (Tranlsated & edited by) (1989). "Henry Suso: The Exemplar, with two German Sermons". In the "Classics of Western Spirituality Series". Paulist Press.
