Traditional attribution
Granum sinapis (The Mustard Seed)
Granum sinapis («In dem begin hô uber sin»)
A ten-stanza poem on the Trinity and the desert of the Godhead, in which the soul must lose itself to find itself. It condenses in lyrical form the Eckhartian doctrine of the modeless ground.

Authorship note
Doubtful. A German verse sequence attributed to Eckhart or his immediate circle; an anonymous Latin commentary accompanies it in the manuscripts. Scholars have not reached consensus on its authorship.
