Trans. C. De B. Evans. John M. Watkins, London, 1924. A note on this edition of Meister Eckhart's works. It is a non-critical collection of works which Franz Pfeiffer put together as attributed to Meister Eckhart, and some of the works within are suspected as to not being authentic. Nonetheless, they are within the spectrum of "Eckhartian" thought, and can still be a source to give others an idea about the thought and work of Meister Eckhart, even those which are not own writings. Meister Eckhart's Sermons, for example, tend to come to us from people who listened to them, and not from his own hand, and so it becomes even harder to distinguish between authentic and inauthentic sermons than from tractates and other works attributed to Meister Eckhart. Sometime, I will probably mark the works which are most likely to be authentic, when I have examined the most critical research on the topic.
