Provenance

Where it came from

Van den XII beghinen, or The Twelve Beguines, is a foundational mystical work by the 14th-century Flemish theologian Jan van Ruusbroec. Composed in Middle Dutch, the text serves as a sophisticated synthesis of Ruusbroec’s spiritual vision, blending liturgical rhythms with neoplatonic philosophy to guide the reader through a hierarchical ascent toward divine union. It remains a cornerstone of medieval mysticism, celebrated for its lyrical intensity and its focus on the interior life of the soul.

This 1980 edition, published by Lannoo in Tielt, represents a mid-20th-century effort to make classical Flemish literature accessible to modern readers. The design reflects the scholarly yet approachable aesthetic favored by Belgian publishers of that era, prioritizing clear typography and durable binding to preserve the integrity of the original text. It was produced during a period of renewed academic interest in the Low Countries' mystic tradition, providing a vital resource for both theology students and enthusiasts of historical literature.
