About this book
The volume presents the first edited version in existence of the autobiography of the mystic spiritualist Friedrich Breckling (1629-1711), which has come down to us in manuscript form. The source is given detailed commentary and contains precise genealogical information on Breckling's family situation and on his career, including the specific complexion of his close-meshed communication network. In this work, autobiography, chronicle, and apocalyptic tractate combine to form a hybrid literary genre that can rightfully claim special, if not unique, status among the 'ego documents' of the early modern age. Detailed indexes round off the volume.
Reviews
"Johann Anselm Steiger provides here the first ever published edition of Friedrich Breckling's autobiography. We can be grateful for this publication... With the Breckling volume Steiger demonstrates his interest not only in the orthodox, but also intheir critics. Scholars and students owe Steiger a debt of thanks for his latest editorial effort."
