Hackett's work is a valuable contribution to the field of late medieval theology and will certainly serve as an excellent reference book for those studying the work of Meister Eckhart. Anik Laferriere, Keble College, Oxford. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 65, No. 2 (April 2014), pp. 409-411. This hefty tome proves to be the first comprehensive introductory work on Meister Eckhart, the famous German theologian [...] magisterially and beautifully edited by Jeremiah M. Hackett, it convincingly emerges as a major contribution to current research on and teaching of Meister Eckhart [...] the editor and the contributors lay the foundation for future Eckhart research by way of addressing many of the critical issues in this author's life and works . Albrecht Classen, University of Arizona. In: Sixteenth Century Journal, 44, No. 4, 2013, p. 1080. In this substantial volume, Jeremiah M. Hackett and a host of international experts on the life, writings, and reception of the German Dominican preacher and theologian Meister Eckhart (ca. 1250-1327) provide an invaluable service to students and scholars of Eckhart and of late medieval theology, philosophy, and mysticism[...] It is impossible to do justice to a volume of this magnitude in a brief review . Amy Hollywood, Harvard University. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 67, No. 1, Spring 2014, pp. 282-283.
