Theosophia revelata, das ist, Alle göttliche Schriften
A 1730 German collected edition of the mystical writings of Jakob Böhme, with later commentary by Johann Georg Gichtel and Balthasar Walther, published in Leipzig or elsewhere in Germany for readers of theology and mysticism. The pictures are small black-ink flourish diagrams printed on speckled paper, built from looping, interlacing curves that suggest knots, wings, or stylised flowers. A designer might take from them the rhythm of looped line work and symmetrical ornamental calligraphy.
