Description

In 1332 a group of beguines testified before a Dominican inquisitor about their community. Records of this heresy interrogation survive in the Vatican Library and provide unique insights into the women's everyday life and spirituality. Living in strict poverty, they took part in austere ascetic practices, including regular flagellation and a strict diet, aiming to mortify sinful flesh and achieve mystical union with God. Were they pious illiterates, or self-trained theologians, keenly interested in debates around the doctrine of such intellectuals as Master Eckhart, John Duns Scotus and Thomas Aquinas? The book explores these questions, and also addresses the nature of their interrogation and the conduct of their inquisitor.
