From the writings of the “Friends of God”
of old time, most of the hymns that follow
have been taken. Those of Mechthild of
Hellfde, known also as Mechthild of Magdeburg,
may be found in her book, “Das
fliessende Licht der Gottheit,” translated
from Low German into High German in the
year 1344, and discovered in High German
in the convent library of Einsiedeln in the
year 1861. Mechthild, supposed with much
reason to be the Matilda of Dante, belongs
to the evangelical witnesses of the middle
ages, known to us through Tauler, Suso,
and others of those called the “Friends of
God.” How distinct was their witness to
the truth of the Gospel may be easily seen
by comparing their writings with those of
the true servants of God who remained under
THE END.
