Mystical union and beatitude in Ruusbroec’s De calculo

Do the last chapters of The Ring or the Shining Stone show an effort by the author to justify his orthodoxy just after the Constitution Benedictus Deus? Does Gerson’s critique rather have the decretal of 1311 in mind, as André Combes claims? This article takes up the question afresh and shows that it is rather an amalgam of the two bulls, which in no way affects the Brabant master’s conception of mystical union, which is perfectly orthodox and subtly Trinitarian. He by the way criticised the Begards, to whom Gerson and Combes tried to assimilate him, as well as their Eckhartian source. The indistinction of enjoyment in no way reduces the difference of essences, nor that of the divine persons. Each blessed creature thus receives in the union without confusion its true identity inscribed on the calculus, in the eternal face to face.
