What it is
A dialogue between the Servant and Eternal Wisdom, moving from the sweetness of divine love to the passion, and including a hundred short meditations for daily use.
Why it lasted
The most widely read German devotional book of the later Middle Ages, and the gentlest translation of Eckhart's thought into something ordinary people could pray.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
