Meister-Eckhart-Legenden (Meister Eckharts Tochter, transmitida también como Meister Eckharts Wirtschaft, y otras)
Edifying exempla that prolong the master's fame: a girl who knocks at the convent door and, asked who she is, replies that she is neither maiden nor wife nor any of the things by which one might name her; dialogues with disciples and with the poor. They show the popular reception of his doctrine of detachment.
