Julian of Norwich and Marguerite Porete (whose 'Mirror of Simple Souls' can
be found in the same Amherst Manuscript as which contains the earliest
surviving Julian of Norwich 'Showings') very frequently use the phrase
'touched by the Spirit'. Many years ago, Sister Anna Maria identified this
as 'epaphe', 'tactus', and as so used by Pseudo-Dionysius in the 'Divine
Names'. The PG index gives it as in c.4 para.10, but one cannot find it
there in the text. I would greatly appreciate advice!
