Beskrivning
Gertrud the Great (1256–1302) entered the monastery of Helfta in eastern Germany as a child oblate. At the age of twenty-five she underwent a conversion that led to a series of visionary experiences, some of which she recorded in Latin “with her own hand,” in what became Book Two of The Herald of God’s Loving-Kindness, the standard version of her revelations. The other four books were written down by a close confidant of the saint, now often known as "Sister N."Recently a different version of Gertrud's revelations has been discovered, in an early fourteenth-century manuscript held at the University of Leipzig, Germany, much older than the known manuscripts of The Herald. The Memorial of the Abundance of the Divine Sweetness is shorter than The Herald, and while the two versions have some text in common (notably most of The Herald's Book Two), the new manuscript also contains some completely new material, which sometimes modifies and sometimes complements what readers already know of the saint.

Recensioner i media

"In The Memorial of the Abundance of the Divine Sweetness, Alexandra Barratt, provides an excellent translation of what seems to be an earlier, more intimate, less guarded version of Gertrud the Great’s, The Herald of God's Loving-Kindness, which Barratt previously translated. Working directly from the only known and recently discovered manuscript of the Memorial, she provides a helpful introduction and annotates its sources. To paraphrase Gertrude, those who read this book with intent devotion will surely, by God’s grace, find something profitable."Fr. Hugh Feiss, OSB, Monastery of the Ascension, Jerome, Idaho
