In The Arnhem Mystical Sermons: Preaching Liturgical Mysticism in the Context of Catholic Reform, Ineke Cornet presents the first in-depth study of this sermon collection from the canonnesses of St. Agnes in Arnhem. Through a careful analysis of sources and parallels, this book demonstrates how the sermons creatively integrate both Rhineland and Brabantine mysticism into a unique commentary on the liturgical year. The sermons, which contribute to the Catholic Reform, systematically explore the mystical celebration of the liturgy which underpins every aspect of the collection’s theology of inner ascent. Together with the Evangelical Pearl and the Temple of Our Soul, the sermons are part of a wider literary network that plays a significant part in the history of Dutch mysticism.

"Cornet’s fine-grained reading and explication of them is a welcome addition to the historiography of early modern Netherlandish religious and literary studies." Christine Kooi, Louisiana State University, in: Journal of Ecclesiastical History Volume 70.4 (2019).
"Very laudable is Cornet's commitment to a systematic, source-based investigation of the spiritual core of these sermons. Explaining key concepts, schemes, and metaphors with great theological competence, she offers a clear treatment of the main message of this sixteenth-century mystical text." - Krijn Pansters,Tilburg University, in: The Medieval Review (14 September 2019).
"There were many [...] connections with this “mystical circle” that are deeply relevant to the fertile ground in which self-understanding of the early Jesuit order developed, but which have not yet been the subject of extensive research. Cornet’s careful study may be considered an invitation and stimulation to pursue this further research."
