Abstract
Hendrik Herp's 'Spieghel der volcomenheit' [Mirror of Perfection], a manual for the mystical ascent, was originally written in Dutch c. 1455-1460 and translated to German in Nurnberg between 1466 and 1473. This contribution argues that the prefatory treatise written to accompany the Middle High German translation of the Spieghel functioned as a reading aid comparable to contemporary, Latin commentaries.
