| Summary: | "Mechthild of Hackeborn was a nun and mystic of the medieval German monastery of St. Mary at Helfta. Mechthild had mystical experiences from childhood, but only after her sister's death in 1291 did Mechthild begin to reveal her visions... compiled them into the Liber specialis gratiae, or Book of Special Grace. The work was initially composed of five books of Mechthild's visions, preceded by a brief biographical notice. Then two additional books were written expanding on the holy deaths and posthumous glory of Gertrude of Hackeborn and Mechthild herself."--The Encyclopedia of Christian Civilization. |
