The mystical language revisited: a contribution to the study of the nature of its identification. In this concise and programmatic essay – for further studies on the nature of the mystic language –, after a brief introduction on its objective – and an even more succinct reference to the common understanding of what is “mystic” and “language” –, the author makes an auxiliary mention to the typical elements that are recognized as essentials to “mystical language”. Then – in his more original contribution – he formulates an axiom, or hypothesis, which considers that “mystic language” has – as a proper intrinsic characteristic of its most nuclear nature – the virtue to be recognized as such because it communicates, somehow, a kind of “peak-experience” which – while establishing the reader in a mystagogical itinerary – allows him to identify previously unnoticed divine’s communications and, as a result of that, realize – due to a new “conceptual kit” – that what he has been reading, or rereading, is a typical way of translating, and shaping, those ineffable experiences.
