THE QUOTABLE MYSTICS STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE I have found 18 mystics / anonymous works: available in public domain online. The great disappointment was not finding any Orthodox mystical books not in copyright. I wanted to include at least St. Gregory Palamas or the Philokalia, but I came up with nothing. The latter is available at Internet Archive, but Im not at all sure if it is public domain. The text seems to be a 1979 translation. If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know. But TQM will be an ecumenical work, insofar as I include two Anglicans and a Lutheran. Five women will also be included in the collection: two of them Doctors of the Church (along with three male Doctors). Here is the listing, in chronological order: St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153): French Cistercian and Doctor of the Church. St. Bonaventure (c. 1217-1274): Italian Franciscan and Doctor of the Church. Blessed John of Ruysbroeck (c. 1293-1381): Flemish / Belgian priest. Blessed Henry Suso (1295-1366): German Dominican. John Tauler (c. 1300-1361): German Dominican. Walter Hilton (c. 1340/45 -1396): English Augustinian. Julian of Norwich (c. 1342-c. 1416): English anchoress. St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1380): Italian Dominican and Doctor of the Church. Thomas à Kempis (c. 1380-1471) / The Imitation of Christ: German Augustinian. The Cloud of Unknowing: late 14th century anonymous English work. Theologica Germanica: late 14th century work by an anonymous German priest (member of the Teutonic Order). St. Catherine of Genoa (1447-1510): Italian layperson. St. Teresa of Avila (1515-1582): Spanish Carmelite and Doctor of the Church. St. John of the Cross (1542-1591): Spanish Carmelite and Doctor of the Church. Johann Arndt (1555-1621): German Lutheran. Brother Lawrence (c. 1614-1691): French Carmelite. William Law (1686-1761): British evangelical Anglican. Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941) / Mysticism (1911): British Anglican (Anglo-Catholic).
