Preface starts “This version of The Cloud of Unknowing is not a paraphrase, nor a modern translation; it is not suggested as a short cut to understanding the original text, nor is it a substitute for reading the book itself. It is simply an interpretation made by a reader, who for several years has been turning to it for guidance and who has found in this fourteenth century devotional classic, written by an anonymous monk to an anonymous pupil, fruitful and practical assistance in the art of prayer…” (xv) Robust packaging.
