ECKHART THE YOUNGER. - Dominican preacher and mystical writer, whose life and works are still shrouded in darkness. A disciple of Meister Eckhart, he illustrated the convent of Erfurt. He died returning from the general Chapter of Valence in 1337, whither he had gone as definitor of the province of Saxony (Mon. O. P. Historica, IV, p. 258).
J. W. Preger and A. Dempf identify him with the definitor E. von Gründig. Preger published fragments of writings and the treatise Von der wirkenden und möglichen Vernunft (Sitzungsber., I, Munich 1871, pp. 176-89). Two sermons and a letter are found in the edition of the works of Tauler of Cologne (1603; pp. 11-13, 46-48, ep. xxv; pp. 807-808). Ph. Strauch (Paradisus animus intelligenter [Paradis der vornuftigen sele: Deutsche Texte des Mittelalters, 30], Berlin 1919) stands for E. Rube.
