520 |a This article offers new textual evidence to strengthen the argument for a Carthusian authorship of the Cloud of Unknowing. It suggests that chapters 37 and 38 of the Cloud make reference to a passage in the Consuetudines of Prior Guigo I.

The essay explores the affective, sonic, and meditative implications of crying "fire" as a method of contemplative prayer in the Cloud and argues that this word had uniquely potent connotations for the Carthusian reader.
