See also:TAULER, JOHANN (c. 1300—1361) , See also:German mystic, was See also:born about the See also:year 1300 in See also:Strassburg, and was educated at the Dominican See also:convent in that See also:city, where Meister See also:Eckhart, who greatly influenced him, was See also:professor of See also:theology (1312—1320) in the monastery school. From Strassburg he went to the Dominican See also:college of See also:Cologne, and perhaps to St See also:- JAMES

James's College, See also:Paris, ultimately returning to Strassburg. In 1324 Strassburg with other cities was placed under a papal See also:interdict. See also:Legend says that Tauler nevertheless continued to perform religious services for the See also:people, but though there may be a germ of See also:historical truth in this See also:story, it is probably due to the See also:desire of the 16th-See also:century Reformers to enroll the famous preachers of the See also:middle ages among their forerunners. In 1338—1339 Tauler was in See also:Basel, then the headquarters of the " See also:Friends of See also:God " (see See also:MYSTICISM), and was brought into intimate relations with the members of that pious mystical fellowship. Strassburg, however, remained his headquarters. The See also:Black See also:Death came to that city in 1348, and it is said that, when the city was deserted by all who could leave it, Tauler remained at his See also:post, encouraging by sermons and See also:personal visitations his terror-stricken See also:fellow-citizens. His See also:correspondence with distinguished members of the Gottesfreunde, especially with Margaretha See also:Ebner, and the fame of his See also:preaching and other See also:work in Strassburg, had made him known throughout a wide circle. He died on the 16th of See also:June 1361.
The well-known story of Tauler's See also:conversion and discipline by " the Friend of God from the Oberland " (see See also:NICHOLAS OT BASEL) cannot be regarded as historical. Tauler's sermons are among the noblest in the German See also:language. They are not so emotional as See also:Suso's, nor so speculative as Eckhart's, but they are intensely See also:practical, and See also:touch on all sides the deeper problems of the moral and spiritual See also:life.
Tauler's sermons were printed first at See also:Leipzig in 1498, and re-printed with additions from Eckhart and others at Basel (1522) and at Cologne (1543). There is a See also:modern edition by See also:Julius Hamberger (See also:Frankfort, 1864), and R. H. See also:Hutton published Tauler's Sermons for Festivals under the See also:title of The Inner Way.
