Written in Middle English sometime in the latter half of the 14th
century, &#8220ThCloud of Unknowing&#8221is an
anonymous work of Christian Mysticism. Surviving to us in only
seventeen known manuscripts, &#8220ThCloud of
Unknowing&#8221is meant as a spiritual guide of
contemplation upon God. The work advises not to seek a
better understanding of God through knowledge and intellect,
but rather to surrender oneself to the darkness of the realm of
the &#8220unnowing&#8221 It is here, where by the
abandonment of consideration of the particular attributes of
God, which it is argued cannot truly be known to man, is
replaced with intense contemplation that may lead to an
understanding of the true nature of God. Presented here is the
translation into modern English by Evelyn Underhill first
published in 1922. Evelyn Underhill, as one of the leading
authorities on Christian mysticism of the early 20th century, is
perfectly in her element here introducing this work to modern
readers. A fascinating work of Christian literature,
&#8220ThCloud of Unknowing&#8221in its abstract and at
times paradoxical argument will give great insight into the mind
of the Medieval Christian mystic. This edition is printed on
