2018

  • "Marguerite Porete and Guiard of Cressonessart Marguerite", in: Philosophical Emanations of Love. Compiled and edited by Yulia V. Sineokaya. Moscow, LRC Publishing House, 2018, pages 466–490.

On May 31, 1310 the two-year long legal proceedings — a trial of two persons indicted for heresy – ended in Paris. The heretics were a certain Marguerite, named “Porete”, and Guiard of Cressonessart, who called himself “the Angel of Philadelphia”. She was condemned as an author of the book “full of dangerous beliefs and errors”, while he got a life-sentence as her advocate, who disseminated a teaching that threatened the authority of the Church. Only seven centuries later, in the second quarter of the twentieth century, the book was identified as “The Mirror of Simple Souls” – one of the greatest works in the tradition of spiritual literature of the Middle Ages. The story of Marguerite and Guiard came down to us only in the trial documents, and it is still an open question whether they knew each other before the tragic events of 1310, and also whether there was a mutual influence in terms of ideas.
