The Cloud of Unknowing

CA$66.00
Only 3 available

Prefaced by Denis Poisson [host of the Foolish Fish YouTube channel].

The Cloud of Unknowing is a pillar of medieval mystic writing, written as a 'how to' guide for a first-hand encounter with God.

The approach is surprisingly ecumenical, with the author recommending that all that the candidate thinks he or she knows about God to be discarded before any attempt can made at the described exercise.

About the Publisher

Black Letter Press is a small independent publisher located close to Hannover in Northern Germany, founded by Alice and Claudio Rocchetti in 2018 in Turin, with the publication of Giambattista della Porta's Natural Magick.

BLP specializes in the revival of rare and antique books on a broad range of topics, including the sciences and history of science, poetry, occult philosophy, art, curious and unusual literature, and more.

Our mission is to do these historical texts justice, publishing books that are fine and beautiful, yet remaining affordable and accessible.

Description

The Cloud of Unknowing is a pillar of medieval mystic writing, written as a 'how to' guide for a first-hand encounter with God.

The approach is surprisingly ecumenical, with the author recommending that all that the candidate thinks he or she knows about God to be discarded before any attempt can made at the described exercise.

The text used here is the 1922 translation by John M. Watkins (the founder of London's oldest esoteric bookshop, Watkins Books). This version is highly faithful to the Middle English original while offering updated spellings, and elucidating unfamiliar archaisms to make the text intelligible to the modern reader.

E.g.:

"HERE BYGYNNITH A BOOK OF CONTEMPLACYON, THE WHICHE IS CLEPYD THE CLOWDE OF UNKNOWYNG, IN THE WHICHE A SOULE IS ONYD WITH GOD"

Has been updated to:

"Here beginneth a book of contemplation, the which is called the CLOUD OF UNKNOWING, in the which a soul is oned with GOD."
