Jan Van Ruysbroeck Livres
Jan van Ruusbroec, surnommé « le Merveilleux », est considéré comme l'un des plus grands mystiques des Pays-Bas méridionaux. Ses œuvres, écrites à l'origine en moyen néerlandais, furent rapidement traduites en latin. Ruusbroec opta pour une vie de retraite, ce qui aboutit à la fondation d'un monastère à Groenendaal. Malgré son rôle modeste, il devint la figure centrale de la communauté grâce à sa vocation mystique extraordinaire. Son héritage, en tant que l'un des mystiques les plus importants de la littérature mondiale, perdure jusqu'à nos jours.
