Eckhart von Hochheim, commonly known as Meister Eckhart, was a German theologian, philosopher and mystic, born near Gotha, in Thuringia.

Meister is German for "Master", referring to the academic title Magister in theologia he obtained in Paris. Coming into prominence during the decadent Avignon Papacy and a time of increased tensions between the Franciscans and Eckhart's Dominican Order of Preacher Friars, he was brought up on charges later in life before the local Franciscan-led Inquisition. Tried as a heretic by Pope John XXII, his "Defence" is famous for his reasoned arguments to all challenged articles of his writing and his refutation of heretical intent. He purportedly died before his verdict was received, although no record of his death or burial site has ever been discovered.

Meister Eckhart is sometimes (erroneously) referred to as "Johannes Eckhart", although Eckhart was his given name and von Hochheim was his surname.

"Perhaps no mystic in the history of Christianity has been more influential and more controversial than the Dominican Meister Eckart. Few, if any, mystics have been as challenging to modern day readers and as resistant to agreed-upon interpretation."
—Bernard McGinn, The Mystical Thought of Meister Eckhart

This introduction to the writing and preaching of the greatest medieval European mystic contains selections from his sermons, treatises, and sayings, as well as Table Talk, the records of his informal advice to his spiritual children.

Faço aqui meu apelo para a tradução da obra desse autor

Às editoras cristãs ou de segmentos filosóficos peço para que editem e publiquem a obra de Meister Eckhart em língua portuguesa. É extremamente importante e necessário por ser atemporal e trazer boas mensagens para os leitores. Transcrevo a seguir a introdução de um dos poucos livros sobre o autor e religioso alemão feita por Giuseppe Faggin (Ece, 1984):
"Painel da vida e, principalmente obra, do filósofo e mestre de teologia Meister Eckhart. Toda a vida de Meister Eckhart consiste em sua experiência interior, em seu recolhimento espiritual e em sua especulação. O que há nela de exterior e de especificamente histórico não tem sentido algum para a alma totalmente voltada em direção ao Divino, nem pode profanar a pureza e imutável que não tem história."
