Dat Boec Vanden Twaelf Dogheden... (The Book of the Twelve Virtues) is a classic work of Dutch mysticism attributed to Jan van Ruusbroec, a 14th-century Augustinian canon and one of the most important figures in the mystical tradition of the Low Countries. This edition, prepared by Jean Baptiste David, presents Ruusbroec's profound teachings on spiritual growth and the cultivation of virtue.
Ruusbroec's work explores the path to union with God through the practice of twelve key virtues. His writings offer a rich and complex theology, drawing on Neoplatonic and scholastic influences to articulate a unique vision of the mystical life. Dat Boec Vanden Twaelf Dogheden... remains a valuable resource for students of mysticism, medieval spirituality, and the history of Christian thought, providing insights into the inner life and the pursuit of divine love.
