{"title":"An Introduction from the Editor of Medieval Mystical Theology","authors":"Duane D. Williams","doi":"10.1080/20465726.2023.2198391","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/20465726.2023.2198391","url":null,"abstract":"To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the journal in its new form asMedieval Mystical Theology in 2020, volume 30 contained an experiment in which one essay by Bernard McGinn spanned both issues 1 and 2. The title of this essay was ‘Niht Enwil Und Niht Enweiz Niht Enhât: Eckhart’s Triple Negation and its History.’ Issue 1 contained part 1 titled ‘Origins’, while issue 2 contained part 2 titled ‘Reception.’ In this particular issue, we have another experiment in that we include a previously unpublished work by the Dominican priest and philosopher Reiner Schürmann (1941-1993). As you will see this consists of the introduction and conclusion to what was an early version of his influential book on Meister Eckhart titled, Wandering Joy. Translated for the first time by Michael Portal and edited by Francesco Guercio and Ian Alexander Moore, this is titled, ‘Peregrine Identity: Introduction and Conclusion from an Early Version of Wandering Joy.’ The earlier version ofWandering Joy was submitted as a thesis to the Dominican school of theology Le Saulchoir, and was titled: Peregrine Identity: The Concept of Detachment in Meister Eckhart’s German Sermons. Importantly, there are significant aspects in the earlier version (see the abstract) that were not in the later one. The translation published here for the first time will be republished later this year, alongside many other texts from Schürmann’s student days until his final years, inWays of Releasement: Writings on God, Eckhart, and Zen, ed. Francesco Guercio and Ian Alexander Moore (Zurich: Diaphanes). In addition to this, there is also an article by Guercio and Moore that helpfully introduces us to the above one. This is titled, ‘The Call of the Origin: On Christology, Conversion, and Peregrine Identity in Reiner Schürmann’s Early Work on Meister Eckhart.’ We also have an article by William G. Kuncken titled, ‘Detachment, Vulnerability, Temptation, and Learning from Failure: Major Themes in Meister Eckhart’s The Talks of Instruction; and an article by Erin Zoutendam titled, ‘The Unknown Deed of the Last Day and Julian of Norwich’s Eschatological Hermeneutic in the Showings.’ Finally, there are four book reviews by MMT’s prolific book reviews editor, Luke Penkett.","PeriodicalId":40432,"journal":{"name":"Medieval Mystical Theology","volume":"32 1","pages":"1 - 1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41903788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Schürmann submitted this early version to the Dominican school of theology Le Saulchoir as a final thesis in 1969, titling it Peregrine Identity: The Concept of Detachment in Meister Eckhart’s German Sermons. In it, Schürmann focuses on Eckhart’s preaching of detachment as an imitation of Christ’s self-emptying on the way of the Cross. The detached thereby undergo a practical transformation of existence that Schürmann calls ‘peregrine identity with the origin,’ i.e. with the Godhead at the source of the Trinity. This early version also contains valuable remarks on conversion, on letting-be as a solution to the violent, ‘Promethean attitude’ of our age, and on St. Francis as the one who ‘most visibly put into practice the doctrine of detachment.’","PeriodicalId":40432,"journal":{"name":"Medieval Mystical Theology","volume":"32 1","pages":"26 - 45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47715756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we examine four aspects of the earlier study that cannot, as such, be found in the later one: (1) the specifically Christological dimension of Eckhart’s teaching of detachment; (2) a logic of conversion at work in Eckhart and St. Francis; (3) Schürmann’s hermeneutics of the symbol; and (4) the practical outcomes of Heidegger’s ontological difference as it is inflected by what Schürmann calls wandering or ‘peregrine’ difference. We aim to show how the questions and issues raised in Schürmann’s thesis remain vital for all those readers of Eckhart who seek to restore their own existence to its essential freedom.","PeriodicalId":40432,"journal":{"name":"Medieval Mystical Theology","volume":"32 1","pages":"2 - 17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47220378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is almost impossible to understand the medieval homo religiosus, its mentality and actions, without taking into account the basic context of eschatology. The subject of analysis in this article is the iconography of heaven in the Italian representations of the Final Judgement at the turn of the Gothic and the Renaissance periods. Various representations of heaven are shown, such as Abraham’s bosom, garden of Eden, the heavenly city of Jerusalem and hierarchical community of the saved. The analysis of the works of art is confronted with theology. It permits the identification of sources and determining the theological meaning of individual iconographic themes. Such an analysis from the perspective of art history and theology reveals unique relationship between word and image, religion and culture, faith and art.","PeriodicalId":40432,"journal":{"name":"Medieval Mystical Theology","volume":"31 1","pages":"91 - 108"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42776267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
