The Mirror of the Simple Souls Who Are Annihilated and Remain Only in Will and Desire of Love

Book • 1300
The book is a dynamic conversation between the personifications of Love, Reason, and Truth.

It describes the sevenfold annihilation of various components of the soul, leading to perfect oneness with God in love.

The work was originally written in the Picard dialect of Old French and was later translated into several languages.

It was highly controversial and led to Porete's execution for heresy due to its perceived antinomian and heretical content.
