The paper aims to clarify the point of view of Nicholas of Cusa (1401-1464) concerning the theory of visio beatifica, visio Dei or théosis, devoting specific researches on his sources (Albert the Great and Meister Eckhart). The issue about the connection between intellectual knowledge and faith in the beatific vision is also addressed on the basis of the Cusanian works. The essay considers the complete written production of Cusanus, especially the Opuscula (1445-6), the Idiota collection (1450) and the De visione Dei (1453).
