the behaviour that most profoundly suited the ethical obligations of a Christian, Weigel turned to the writings of two earlier theologians, Dionysius the Areopagite and Meister Eckhart. In arguing for the centrality of Weigel’s interest in these two figures to his theological project, I am thereby showing not only the profound and important continuities that exist between the Middles Ages and the Reformation, two periods generally understood to be quite distinct, but also providing some new insights into an unjustly neglected moment in European religious and intellectual history. 56
