Pictured above are some wonderful images from our 1682 copy of Jacob Boehme; the Teutonic philosopher, or as our catalog record puts it, Des gottseeligen hocherleuchteten Jacob Böhmens Teutonici Philosophi alle theosophische Wercken …

This theological text was written by Jacob Boehme (Jakob Böhme), who is considered an original thinker within the Lutheran tradition. The majority of his writings concern the nature of sin, evil, and redemption. These themes can be seen in some of the detailed images.
