The works of Jacob Behmen, the Teutonic theosopher : to which is prefixed, the life of the author
A 1764 London edition of the collected writings of the German mystic Jakob Böhme, prefaced with a life of the author by William Law and printed for M. Richardson in Paternoster Row for readers of mysticism and theology. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: symmetrical scrolled headpieces with foliage, a crown, a cherub playing a lyre, a fleur-de-lis, and a grotesque mask at the base, useful to a designer seeking classical eighteenth-century decorative borders and vignettes.
