Assuming that De visione dei is a mystical text and that the mystic, both in its generic and ultimate interpretations, is an experience of the divine, we think it is possible to show that, at the mentioned publication, Nicholas of Cusa (1401-1464) presents a mystical experience, understood as the reflection about the subject. Therefore, the sensible experience proposed by him, and explained in the Preface of De visione dei, unites the simplicity of a visual experience with the highest and most profound speculation that human beings can do: reflect in a manner that you can experience your relationship with the divine.
