About this book
Bernard Holland edited this small selection of Jacob Behmen's writings for the general reader in 1901. The first three dialogues use William Law's English version, a loose paraphrase found in manuscript after his death; the fourth, on the way from darkness to true illumination, comes from an eighteenth-century translation.
Holland's preface sketches the life of the German mystic, born in 1575 near Görlitz in Lusatia to a poor family, who was apprenticed to a shoemaker, and explains why he spells the name Behmen. It also notes that the Complete Works appeared in English in 1781.
