About the author

Henry Suso (Also called Amandus, a name adopted in his writings, and Heinrich Seuse in German) was a German mystic, declared Blessed in 1831 by Gregory XVI, who assigned his feast in the Dominican Order to March 2. The Dominicans now celebrate his feast on January 23, the "open" day nearest the day of his death.

Reviews

[Alan Lindsay · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is one of the weirdest books I've ever read. It seems to be two or three books sewn together, from the initial self-mutilating very medieval monasticism to the quasi-romance adventure to the spiritual wisdom ending (kind of tedious), a poor man's "Saint John of the Cross." A good glimpse into the world in which it was composed.
