Bath: S. Hazard for T. Mills 1775. 8vo. xvii 3 445 1 pp. Modern full calf red morocco spine label. Displeasing glue residue in gutter margin of first blank and title-page both of which are a little browned age-toning throughout not objectionable; top edge of textblock with stain near the head-cap which did not permeate through the text itself. Provenance: Mary Knowles contemporary signature on title - see below. A good copy with faults and priced accordingly. Was the "Mary Knowles" who first owned this 18th-century English translation of Boehme's first work the same as the well known English Quaker mystic poet feminist and abolitionist namely Mary Morris Knowles 1733-1807. While we have been unable to procure an autograph of Mary Morris Knowles with which to compare the two signatures if she did not own this particular copy of Boehme it is almost certain that she had in her library at least one of Boehme's texts.<br/><br/>This edition was published by Thomas Mills ca. 1735-1820 formerly a clerk in the one of the Countess of Huntington's chapels where he preached "in the Methodist way." It is not without interest that in 1778 Mills became a Quaker sic.<br/><br/>A German shoemaker turned mystic Boehme's writings found renewed interest in England during the late 18th century influencing Quakers Methodists and mystics alike William Blake in particular. Indeed Blake "inherited from Boehme the ideas which formed the foundation of his philosophy and his myth" Gerald Bentley "William Blake and the Alchemical Philosophers" B.Litt. Thesis Oxon. 1954 p. 233<br/><br/>Our copy is COMPLETE. The only other copy of this edition on the market is both ugly and seriously defective lacking everything after p. 390.<br/><br/>ESTC T216620.

Written in 1623 when his powers of expression had developed to their full Mysterium Magnum is central to his work. Taking the form of an interpretation of Genesis it outstrips its apparent confines explaining the popularity of his work among followers as varied as Hegel Law Blake and Berdyaev. From the first sentence it leads to the heart of the experience of all mystics: 'When we consider the visible world with its essence and consider the life of the creatures then we find therein the likeness of the invisible spiritual world which is hidden in the visible world as the soul in the body; and we see thereby that the hidden God is nigh unto all and through all and yet wholly bidden to the visible essence.' unknown
