Hekhal
Vincent Couey
Editor of Hekhal
Vincent Couey edits Hekhal, an open reference for the mystical and contemplative traditions. He prepares the bilingual editions and cross-tradition maps, and he signs the editorial law: canonical text, reception, and containment are kept apart and labelled. Machine-assisted drafts stay marked as such until a credentialed reviewer signs them off; see the editorial board and charter.
