Reading edition
Altmeyer, Les Précurseurs de la Réforme aux Pays-Bas, I. 94.--Raynald. ann. 1329, No. 71. For the relations of Master Eckart with the Brethren of the Free Spirit, see Preger, Vorarbeiten zu einer Geschichte der deutschen Mystik (Zeitschrift für die hist. Theol. 1869. pp. 68-78). The fact that the bull of John XXII., “In agro Dominico” (Ripoll VII. 57; cf. Herman. Corneri Chron. ap. Eccard. Corp. Hist. II. 1036-7), condemning Master Eckart’s errors, has until within a few years passed as a general bull against the Brethren, sufficiently shows the connection.
