Eckhart

Another point of resemblance with Eckhart is suggested by his words: "That foolish people take evil for good, and good for evil."

In point of fact, Eckhart did give expression to some propositions which implied pantheism and were condemned by the Holy See.

But the soul of the mystic in stone contains the same elements as the soul of Eckhart, who was also a schoolman.

The time was ripe and the consummators came: Dante in the south, Eckhart in the countries north of the Alps.
