Abstract

Ruusbroec is one of the few medieval writers whose work has been read, translated, and commented upon throughout the ages until today. One of the most translated writers in Dutch literature, Ruusbroec brings the literature of the Low Countries onto the world stage. Ruusbroec's genius is paradoxical. His stylistic devices are simple, but his wording flawless. He describes concrete details of daily life, but also seeks to evoke how the everyday participates in spiritual love and the Holy Trinity. He loves the Church, but his criticism of its corruption anticipates Savonarola. He praises secluded life, but also emphasises the universality of such life whereby the true contemplative is a 'common' person. This set of two volumes includes the complete text of all of Ruusbroec's works - the original Middle Dutch version as well as a new English translation - as published in 'Corpus Christianorum, Continuatio Mediaevalis', volumes 101 to 110. The edition is preceded by a short Introduction describing Ruusbroec's life and doctrine and summarising the dating and context of the various treatises and letters, and is followed by a source apparatus and index of sources.

Abstract

Kapucijn Klaas Blijlevens brengt ons in contact met een grootmeester van de mystiek, Jan Van Ruusbroec. Om de lezer in te leiden in enkele van Ruusbroecs mooiste mystieke teksten, zet Klaas Blijlevens drie dialogen in scène. Achtereenvolgens zien we een kluizenaar, een volgelinge van Clara van Assisi en een kartuizermonnik in gesprek gaan met Jan van Ruusbroec. Deze personages zijn wel degelijk historisch en ze voeren ons naar de kern van Ruusbroecs spiritualiteit. Hun dialogen met Ruusbroec werden echter gefingeerd. Klaas Blijlevens schreef ze op basis van zijn uitgebreide kennis van Ruusbroec en brengt zo diens ideeën tot leven op een voor iedereen boeiende en toegankelijke manier.

Abstract

In his masterwork, 'Die geestelijke brulocht' (The Spiritual Espousals), the fourteenth-century Flemish mystic Jan van Ruusbroec used his profound knowledge of Trinitarian theology to show that the apex of the spiritual life consists in our being taken up into the love of the three persons of the blessed Trinity. The care and precision with which Ruusbroec describes the ascent from "the active life" to "the interior life" and from there to the culmination of "the contemplative life" is evident in the way he carefully distinguishes between three terms that could all be translated as "love": minne, karitate, and liefde. James Wiseman's astute reading of Ruusbroec's treatise shows how the affective aspect of love (liefde) and the aspect that expresses itself in virtuous activity (karitate) are both subsumed under the all-embracing reality of minne, the love that flows forth from the triune God and then draws us back to a blissful reunion with our loving Source.
