Summary "A Mediaeval Mystic" by Vincent Scully is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed exploration of the life and writings of Blessed John Ruysbroeck, a mystic from the 14th century known for his profound spiritual insights. Scully aims to familiarize English-speaking audiences with Ruysbroeck's significance, especially in the context of his contemporaries like Walter Hilton and Gerard Groote. At the start of the volume, the author introduces Blessed John Ruysbroeck, emphasizing his humble beginnings and devout upbringing in the village of Ruysbroeck, near Brussels. The narrative details John's early desire for a more contemplative life, leading him to the city where he became a secular priest. Scully outlines John's education under the guidance of his uncle and his experiences in Brussels, where he began to develop his mystical teachings. The opening sets the stage for an exploration of Ruysbroeck's later life, including his role in combating false mysticism and his founding of the community at Groenendael, thus establishing the foundation for his enduring impact on Christian spirituality.
