Abstract
This article aims for a comparison between the figure of Dominican Meister Eckhart and the beguine Marguerite Porete. This soul inflamed by God‟s love wrote the “Mirror of the simple souls who are annihilated”, book burned with her by the Inquisition, on the 1 st of May of 1310 in Paris. Despite not having documents that prove the reading of this book by the Dominican, there are enough reasons to recognize that his central themes are the same as Marguerite‟s. In effect, the paradigmatic relation with God in both authors becomes a return to the innermost depth of the being which Eckhart calls “Gottheit” and Marguerite “Néant”.
