	Mechtild of Magdeburg
		Mechtild began the work in 1250 and finished the sixth volume at Magdeburg in 1264, to which she added a seventh volume at Helfta.
		Mechtild's conception of the hereafter is believed by some to be the basis of Dante's "Divine Comedy", and the poet's Matelda ("Purgatory", Canto 27-33) to be identical with our Mechtild (see Preger, "Dante's Matelda", Munich, 1873).
		That she did not seek the favour of man is evident from her fearless denunciation of the vices of the clergy in general and especially the clergy of Magdeburg.

	Mechtild of Magdeburg
		Mechtild of Magdeburg was the first German woman to write poetry and spiritual texts not in Latin but in Middle-High-German.
		Mechtild, being rather critical in her writings about the decline of morals amongst the clerics of her time, was advised to leave Magdeburg and seek shelter in the convent of Helfta.
		Here Mechtild lived from 1270 until her death in 1282 and wrote her most important work: “The surging light of divinity” (Das fließende Licht der Gottheit).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Mechtilde
		Some writers have considered that Mechtilde von Hackeborn and Mechtilde von Wippra were two distinct persons, but, as the Barons of Hackeborn were also Lords of Wippra, it was customary for members of that family to take their name indifferently from either, or both of these estates.
		As a nun, Mechtilde was soon distinguished for her humility, her fervour, and that extreme amiability which had characterized her from childhood and which, like piety, seemed hereditary in her race.
		Mechtilde was fully equipped for her task when, in 1261, God committed to her prudent care a child of five who was destined to shed lustre upon the monastery of Helfta.

		Mechtild was a beguine who associated quite late in life with the Cistercian convent at Helfta while Gertrude was raised within the cloister.
		It is easy to see the beguines in their "newness" as completely separate from traditional female monasticism, but we see this week that female monasticism in one particular place and time, at least, was filled with new spiritual expression as well.

		Eckhart's feminine conceptions and practical applications of his theology was shared by Beguines such as Mechtild of Magdeburg and Marguerite Porete who echoed these themes.
		Mechtild who described herself as an uneducated voice (ungelerter munt) would hardly have been intimidated or confused by Eckhart's use of this approach to God.
		Tobin states that in Mechtild's Flowing Light of the Godhead, the unity of our being in the triune God was spoken of as both an ecstatic and personal vision and a spiritual doctrine.

		Mechthild of Magdeburg railed regularly and colorfully against corrupt clerics and Catherine of Siena called the pope himself onto the carpet.(5)
		An obvious example was Moses, who met the mysterium tremendum at the burning bush and forever after knew what he knew, and because of it, remained constant for forty years in a wilderness.

	Mechthild of Magdeburg
		Most of what is known of Mechthild of Magdeburg comes from her book: references to court custom and courtly literature suggest she was from an educated family, as does the fact that she could read and write German (although she tells us that she does not know Latin).
		In her early 20s, she left her home to go to Magdeburg (on the Elbe River); she appears to have lived most of her life there as a beguine, apparently in a community, perhaps as a superior.
		In 1261, a synod meeting in Magdeburg ordered the local beguines to obey their parish priests, rather than relying on the mendicant orders for spiritual advice.
