‎Summary CC CM, 172A contains the editio princeps of two Latin translations made by the late medieval Dutch Church reformer Geert Grote (Gerardus Magnus, 1340-1384) and a revised edition of another translation, made by Anthonius Henrici de Viersen (fl. 1460-1490), Brother of the Common Life in Butzbach and collaborator of the proto-humanist Gabriel Biel. The source texts had originally been composed in Middle Dutch, by the great Brabantine mystic Jan van Ruusbroec (1293-1381) and by Godfried Wevel, one of his fellow canons regular at Groenendaal near Brussels from 1360 until his death in 1396. Another editio princeps completes the volume: a Middle Dutch adaptation of Meister Eckhart's Reden der Unterweisung, the main source for Wevel's Vanden twaelf dogheden. This adaptation was probably compiled in Grote's entourage, if not by him personally, and is here edited as Eyn boeck van der gelatenheit. The publication of Grote's adaptation of Eckhart and the accompanying convincingly underpinned analysis may mean a landslide for the proper assessment of Eckhart's reception in the Low Countries and adjacent territories in modern western Germany during the later Middle Ages. Each of the edited texts is accompanied by an apparatus comparatiuus, indicating in detail all discrepancies between the translations and the source texts. Lengthy introductions complete the volume.‎

‎ Summary This volume completes the collected works of Geert Grote, containing a treatise on the undesirability of marriage for a secular cleric and a treatise on four subjects suitable for meditation. In his theoretical and philosophical essay Tractatus de quatuor generibus meditacionum sive contemplacionum (a treatise on four classes of subjects suitable for meditation), Geert Grote examines the nature of the subjects that can be used as a support for the meditative process, focusing on the effects produced by the act of meditation on the human mind and its faculties. While he formally addresses four subjects, he effectively discusses two of them only in greater detail, the life and Passion of Christ as recounted in Holy Scripture and the products of the imagination when reflecting on the Passion. Grote?s Tractatus de matrimonio (a treatise on marriage, subdivided into 22 Chapters) is an essay in which he discusses the undesirability of marriage for a secular cleric, which had been written for a personal friend, but has a much wider applicability. In the first 15 Chapters he adduces theological and philosophical arguments dissuading marriage, while he describes various drawbacks of married life in Ch. 16-22, here drawing on both secular authorities and human experience.
