Abstract :
This article offers an introduction to Jhesus collacien, a Middle Dutch cycle of 72 visions in which Jesus or the Holy Spirit preach to ‘a handmaiden of Christ’ (deerne Christi). This ‘handmaiden’ has to mediate the sermons to her community of sisters. First philological subjects are discussed (title, date, manuscript tradition, editions), followed by subjects of literary and spiritual history (author, public, structure, genre, spirituality, imagery, reading modes, related texts).
