Jacob Boehme wrote his masterwork following two series of illuminating visions; his insights span the religious, metaphysical and mystical, and fascinated scholars of his era.
To this day, Boehme is referred to as Europe\'s last great mystic..
This book contains Boehme\'s Signatura Rerum in full, organized and translated to English by John Ellistone.
God\'s divinity sets the stage of the visible world and the journey of all living souls; a profound spiritual force overseeing and transcending every aspect of nature.
Reality and existence are perceived through a vividly spiritual and mystical lens, in a manner startlingly original in post-Reformation Europe.
Greatly influenced by Christian teachings and the life of Jesus, the book also proposes a range of explanations for the natural world.
In any case, Boehme departed for the city; his writings soon gained attention, with many scholars fascinated by the depth of the humble shoemaker\'s sacred wisdom.
The local Lutheran pastor rebuffed the revelatory wisdom, urging the local councilmen to banish Boehme - a process prevented by the author\'s good reputation.
However a sudden series of visions, which Boehme chronicled in writing, changed his life profoundly.
Working as a shoemaker in 1600, Boehme\'s early life was obscure - as a village cobbler, he was diligent but unremarkable.
