Description

German translation of Tauler's sermons

Tauler, a Dominican, was, according to Fr. Crisógono, "the greatest mystic of all who existed before the sublime Reformers of the Carmel" («el mayor místico de cuantos existieron antes de los sublimes Reformadores del Carmelo», quoted in: Theology of Christian Perfection, p. 348 // PDF p. 657 of the Spanish; cf. also Los grandes maestros de la vida espiritual pp. 229-33 // PDF pp. 239-43). Read his excellent Sermon I for the Nativity (In Nativitate Domini) (German transl.: Hofmann ed. vol. 1, pp. 13-20 // PDF pp. 34-41).

Fr. G.-L. (Three Ages pt. 1, ch. 16, § "Spiritual Reading…", §§ "Spiritual Works of the Saints", ref:31.12) recommends the "660 Sermons ; critical edition in German by Vetter, 1910. The Institutions were not drawn up by Tauler, but contain the summary of his doctrine."
