ResumoThis essay explores Marguerite Porete's Mirror of Simple Souls, which offers a powerful portrayal of the soul's transformation into her exemplar, Jesus Christ. First, it outlines Porete's portrayal of the trinitarian relation of the faculties of the soul. Next, it explores the contours of the christological themes of the transformation of the soul. Finally, it shows that the goal of the text itself is the reader's transformation. Porete's designation of Jesus Christ as exemplar highlights the energy that drives the soul's transformation and constitutes the transforming nature of the text.
