Hymns of Ter Steegen and Others: Second Series (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Hymns of Ter Steegen and Others: Second SeriesFrom the writings of the "Friends of God" of old time, most of the hymns that follow have been taken. Those of Mechthild of Hellfde, known also as Mechthild of Magdeburg, may be found in her book, "Das fliessende Licht der Gottheit," translated from Low German into High German in the year 1344, and discovered in High German in the convent library of Einsiedeln in the year 1861. Mechthild, supposed with much reason to be the Matilda of Dante, belongs to the evangelical witnesses of the middle ages, known to us through Tauler, Suso, and others of those called the "Friends of God."About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
