An anonymous work of Christian mysticism written in Middle English in the latter half of the 14 th century, The Cloud of Unknowing draws on the mystical tradition of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite.
Focusing on the via negative road to discovering God as a pure entity beyond any mental conception, the text is a spiritual guide on contemplative prayer.
It offers us the opportunity to take part in the dialogue between a monk and a novice and the mystical dynamic process.
