Defence (Reply to the Cologne charges)

Responsio (Rechtfertigungsschrift)

Fraile dominico identificado tradicionalmente con Eckhart (Andrea di Bonaiuto, Via Veritatis)
byMeister Eckhart

It examines the incriminated propositions one by one, declaring some miscopied, and defends the true sense of the others by appealing to Augustine and Thomas. It contains the sentence on the difference between error and heresy and is the main criterion for identifying his authentic texts.
