Further to previous post about Eckhart: I've been reading Kurt Ruh's account of the Inquisitorial proceedings against him, and find myself somewhat upset by the whole disgraceful business. Poor Eckhard - not to mention his colleague, Nikolaus of Strassburg, who attempted to point out the thinness of some of the charges being raked up by two very unreliable witnesses, and was himself investigated for 'obstructing the inquisition' for his pains (though apparently nothing came of that, at least).

Rest eternal grant unto them O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon them.
