The Cloud of Unknowing is a spiritual classic written by an anonymous author in the 14th century. This edition of the book is translated and edited by Evelyn Underhill. The book is a guide to contemplative prayer and is written in a style that is both practical and mystical. The author advocates for the use of a cloud of forgetting to block out distractions and focus on God. The book is divided into chapters that cover topics such as the nature of God, the importance of humility, and the role of love in spiritual practice. The Cloud of Unknowing is a powerful tool for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of contemplative prayer and the Christian spiritual tradition.1912. A book of contemplations. Edited from the British Museum M.S. Harl. 674 with an introduction by Evelyn Underhill. �������The little family of mystical treatises which is known to students as �������the Cloud of Unknowing group, ' deserves more attention that it has hitherto received from English lovers of mysticism: for it represents the first expression in our own tongue of that great mystic tradition of the Christian neo-platonists which gathered up, remade, and �������salted with Christ's salt' all that was best in the spiritual wisdom of the ancient world�������.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
