Bernard McGinn's portrait of Nicholas of Cusa as a theologian in the tradition of Maximus the Confessor, John Scotus Eriugena, and Meister Eckhart is one of the highlights of the volume.
[4] What is striking about these mystical traditions is this singular fact: the principal interest here is not, as with the moderns, on love as relationality nor, as with the pre-moderns on image and Trinity, but often in radically apophatic positions like that of Pseudo-Dionysius, Scotus Eriugena, Marguerite Porete, Meister Eckhart, Cusanus.
Ironically, the one concrete example Cahill gives of an actual book burning is by a pope: Honorius III's order in 1225 to torch all copies of a metaphysical work of some originality by Irish philosopher Johannes Eriugena.
