| | JAKOB BOEHME - Title (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | BOEHME, Jakob (1576-1624), a mystical writer, whose surname (of which Fechner gives eight German varieties) appears in English literature as Beem, Behmont, andc., and notably in the form Behmen, was born at AltSeidenberg, in Upper Lusatia, a straggling hamlet among the hills, some ten miles S.E. of Gorlitz. |
 | | Boehme is always greatest when he breaks away from his fancies and his trammels, and allows speech to the voice of his heart. |
 | | Translating Boehme's thought out of the uncouth dialect of material symbols (as to which one doubts sometimes whether he means them as concrete instances, or as pictorial illustrations, or as a mere memoria technica) we find that Boehme conceives of the correlation of two triads of forces. |
