The Complete Mystical Works of Meister Eckhart
Maurice O'C. Walshe (Editor)
In the continuing process of making Eckhart's German works available
to contemporary readers the translations of Maurice O'Connell
Walshe occupy a special place, not only because Walshe's versions are
the most complete collection in any language (ninety-eight sermons,
three treatises, and some ancillary materials),8 but also because of the
English scholar's ability to capture the energy and flow of Eckhart's
Middle High German in readable English. Translation is always more
an art than a science, and translating Eckhart seems to demand a diviner's
art: an inner affinity with a difficult thinker and his novel
style that is more a gift than something to be attained by effort.
Walshe's love for Eckhart and his impressive command of MiddleHigh German and its literature give him a special status among the
English translators of the Dominican.9 He was a true Eckhartian
" diviner. "
