Mechthild von Magdeburg

Mechthild von Magdeburg (c.1212-82, nr. Eisleben), who became a beguine c.1235 and a Cistercian nun at Helfta near Eisleben c.1270, experienced mystical visions, which she recorded together with her thoughts and aspirations under the title Das fließende Licht der Gottheit. The Low German original has not survived, and her visions of Christ and the Holy Trinity are now known only in a High German version made by Heinrich von Nördlingen c.1344.
