Written by Christian mystic Julian of Norwich in the 14th century, based on visions she received while praying for her recovering from a life-threatening illness. After her recovery, she dedicated her life to God and the church in gratitude. As part of this process, she shared the sixteen visions of Jesus the Christ and the Virgin Mary.
Unlike many of her contemporary religious writers, she wrote in the language of the common people, Middle English, rather than Latin. In that spirit, this version has been translated into modern English, making it ideal for someone with less experience in medieval literature.
