Where were her books in 1400-1450?I'm not sure how influential she was at the time. Anyway, she is just an example of what Sainte Colette was not: an author. Not writing a book was clearly the safe option. And yet the difference between heretic and saint was mostly political: this is also the case of Sainte Jeanne d'Arc, 1412-1431. Marguerite Porete was a target because she was both successful, as an author, and highly critical of religious authorities. Her book may have been 'full of errors', but it was more original, in an eastern mystical kind of way, than heretical. The moral, there, is that heresy was not the only way to get into trouble, originality and politics were enough.
Quote:It is a small octavo en lettres gothiques, printed by John Grunninger, 1500. "A garden," says the author, "which abounds with flowers for the pleasure of the soul;" but they are full of poison. In spite of his fine promises, the chief part of these meditations are as puerile as they are superstitious. This we might excuse, because the ignorance and superstition of the times allowed such things: but the figures which accompany this work are to be condemned in all ages; one represents Saint Ursula and some of her eleven thousand virgins, with all the licentious inventions of an Aretine.
