Ruysbroeck is a book written by Evelyn Underhill which provides a detailed account of the life and teachings of John Ruysbroeck, a Flemish mystic of the 14th century. The book explores the mystical experiences of Ruysbroeck and his teachings on the union of the soul with God. Underhill delves into the life of Ruysbroeck, including his early years, his entry into the Augustinian monastery, and his eventual establishment of a community of hermits. The book also examines the writings of Ruysbroeck, including The Adornment of the Spiritual Marriage and The Sparkling Stone. Underhill provides a comprehensive analysis of Ruysbroeck's teachings on the stages of spiritual development, the nature of God, and the relationship between the individual and the divine. This book is an excellent resource for those interested in the history of Christian mysticism and the teachings of John Ruysbroeck.1914. This monograph is not simply a painstaking summary of the more patent generalities of the subject, but rather a deeply sympathetic entering into the mind of Ruysbroeck, and that, too, with no common insight. Jan van Ruusbroec, otherwise known as Ruysbroeck, is thought, by no few competent judges, to be the greatest of all medieval Catholic mystics. Very little had been written with regard to the life and doctrine of this great Flemish contemplative of the 14th century. Miss Underhill is doing lovers of not only Catholic mysticism, but also of mysticism in general, a great service with this monograph.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
