Eckhart and the vernacular tradition: Pseudo-Eckhart and Eckhart legends

Abstract

For the sake of simplicity, scholars refer to German sermons, treatises, and aphorisms which are either transmitted anonymously or else ascribed to Eckhart in some manuscripts, and which are regularly given a place in codices scattered among authentic texts by Eckhart as "Pseudo-Eckhart". Usually this material offers secondary textual attestations of writings by Meister Eckhart and is therefore a kind of reception of Eckhart. This essay presents and discusses a representative selection of the most important textual material which compilers of the days of Meister Eckhart to the beginning of the 20th century have gathered together, either under Eckhart's name or anonymously and for which older scholarship claimed the authorship of Meister Eckhart.
