The work comprises selected and translated extracts from the writings of Matilda, a 13th-century German Béguine known for her spiritual insights and experiences, focusing on themes of divine love, spiritual devotion, and the struggles of the soul in a tumultuous time. The context of Matilda’s life and the life of the convent provides a backdrop against which readers can explore her reflections on faith and spirituality. At the start of the book, the preface introduces Matilda of Magdeburg, linking her to Dante's "Matelda" and setting the stage for her significance in medieval mysticism and spirituality. The opening portion describes the founding and history of the Cloister of Hellfde, detailing the noble lineage of individuals associated with the convent and highlighting its spiritual mission. It also briefly introduces Matilda's character and her decision to renounce worldly comforts for a deeper communion with God, foreshadowing the profound and intricate spiritual experiences that her writings will articulate throughout the rest of the work.
