Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes eint das Interesse am Thema 'Kartäuser und Mystik', das exemplarisch und vor einem breiten europäischen Horizont behandelt wird. Sie alle verbindet ein dezidiert historischer Zugang zum gewählten Thema, der mit einer Fokussierung auf diejenigen kartäusischen Kontexte einhergeht, die sich als Knotenpunkte der Produktion, Rezeption und Distribution von mystischen Texten erwiesen haben. Gemeinsam ist ihnen außerdem die Frage, wie sich mystische Interessenschwerpunkte in einzelnen Kartausen bzw. bei einzelnen Kartäusern herausbilden und beschreiben lassen, wobei der zeitliche Schwerpunkt - sieht man von je einem Abstecher ins Hochmittelalter und in die Neuzeit einmal ab - auf dem Spätmittelalter liegt. Nachgezeichnet wird demnach, wie Mystik im Kartäuserorden 'unterwegs' war. Doch nicht nur das: Mehrere Beiträge sind selbst unterwegs zu einer Definition von Mystik, jedenfalls reflektieren sie die (forschungs-)geschichtlichen Hintergründe des Begriffes und seinen heuristischen Nutzen für die Konstituierung eines speziellen Corpus von Texten.

Carthusians
The Carthusians, also known as the Order of Carthusians (Latin: Ordo Cartusiensis), are a Latin enclosed religious order of the Catholic Church. The order was founded by Bruno of Cologne in 1084 and includes both monks and nuns. The order has its own rule, called the Statutes, and their life combines both eremitical and cenobitic monasticism. The motto of the Carthusians is Stat crux dum volvitur orbis, Latin for "The Cross is steady while the world turns."[3] The Carthusians retain a unique form of liturgy known as the Carthusian Rite.
The name Carthusian is derived from the Chartreuse Mountains in the French Prealps: Bruno built his first hermitage in a valley of these mountains. These names were adapted to the English charterhouse, meaning a Carthusian monastery.[a] Today, there are 23 charterhouses, 18 for monks and 5 for nuns. The alcoholic cordial Chartreuse has been produced by the monks of Grande Chartreuse since 1737, which gave rise to the name of the color, though the liqueur is in fact produced not only as green chartreuse, but also as yellow chartreuse.
In Italy the Carthusians are known as Certosini and their monastery as a Certosa.

Nicholas of Cusa
Nicholas of Cusa (1401 – 11 August 1464), also referred to as Nicholas of Kues and Nicolaus Cusanus (/kjuːˈseɪnəs/), was a German philosopher, theologian, Catholic cleric, jurist, mathematician, and astronomer. One of the first German proponents of Renaissance humanism, he made spiritual and political contributions in European history. A notable example of this is his mystical or spiritual writings on "learned ignorance," as well as his participation in power struggles between Rome and the German states of the Holy Roman Empire.
As papal legate to Germany from 1446, he was appointed cardinal for his merits by Pope Nicholas V in 1448 and Prince–Bishop of Brixen two years later. In 1459, he became vicar general in the Papal States.
Nicholas has remained an influential figure. In 2001, the sixth centennial of his birth was celebrated on four continents and commemorated by publications on his life and work.

We are grateful to Mr Rainer Noeres, Otto-Modersohn-Museum, Fischerhude, for his kind expert advice.
* * *
The Modersohn family moved from Soest to Münster in 1884, where Otto discovered his interest in art while still at high school. After graduating from school he went to the Akademie in Düsseldorf, but he did not agree with the teaching methods here. After a short stay in Munich Otto Modersohn hoped to find artistic inspiration at the Akademie in Karlsruhe, but was once again disappointed. A summer trip through northern Germany together with Mackensen in 1888, however, inspired Modersohn to a series of small paintings, one of the first highlights in his early years. Another joint trip with Mackensen to Worpswede in 1889 resulted in Modersohn's decision to stay in the artist colony. Modersohn soon began to disagree with his friends' ideas. He wrote "Quiet, quiet grandness is my true goal" and he would rather "say much with very little [...]". He sent eight works to the first group exhibition of the Worpswede artists at the Kunsthalle in Bremen in 1895. The reactions to the exhibition varied, but the following participation in the international Glaspalast exhibition in Munich was to be a great success for Modersohn. Paula Becker, who married Modersohn in 1901, visited Worpswede for the first time in 1897. At this time the painter was considering leaving the colony. The following period is determined by numerous trips and various sojourns in Germany and France, mostly undertaken together with his wife. The Modersohns returned to Worpswede in the spring of 1907, where Paula died in November after giving birth to a daughter. Modersohn moved to Fischerhude, where "a new time began" for him in 1908. The artist studied nature in this rural surrounding and always returned here even after repeated visits in Worpswede and Berlin in 1917. "Simplicity, reduction of form and colour is one of the main goals" of his art in the 1920s. Important sources of inspiration were Holland and the Allgäu, where he bought a house in 1930. When the painter turned blind on one eye he abandoned his trips to the Allgäu and spent his time painting in his Fischerhude studio. Otto Modersohn died seven years later after a surprising, short illness.
