Very little is known about Mechtilda of Magdeburg. All information about her came from her own book and from two prefaces to the manuscript in German and its Latin translation. Apparently Mechtilde was born c. 1207 and in all likelihood came from a noble knightly family. The work “The Flowing Light of the Divine” shared the fate of many literary monuments of the Middle Ages. The original, written in the 13th century (1250-1282) in Low German interspersed with elements of Middle High German, has been lost... This translation is based on the 1990 (Hans Neumann) and 1995 (Margot Schmidt) editions.
