Johann Tauler

Johann Tauler (1300-1361) is a German mystic, born in Strasburg, bred a monk of the Dominican order, had, along with the rest of his order, to flee the city, and settled in Basel, became a centre of religious life there, and acquired repute as one of the most eloquent preachers of the day. His sphere was not speculative thought but practical piety, and his "Sermons" take rank among the aboriginal monuments of German prose literature.
