This edition of The Mirror of Simple Souls is a translation from the French original with an interpretive essay by Edmund Colledge, O.S.A., Judith Grant, and J.C. Marler, and a foreword by Kent Emery, Jr. The translators of this Modern English version rely primarily on the French, yet take other medieval translations into account. As a result, this edition offers a reading of The Mirror which solves a number of difficulties found in the French, and the introduction contributed by the translators narrate the archival history of the book for which Margaret Porette was burned alive in Paris in 1310.
