Spiritual Alchemy
"This book traces the continued existence of the spiritual alchemy of rebirth in heterodox and specifically Boehmist circles from around 1600 to the early twentieth century. The basic claim of continuity from Boehme to Atwood argued here is not new. A particularly apt expression may be found in F. Sherwood Taylor's The Alchemists of 1949, in which the founding editor of Ambix notes 'the existence of a school of mystical alchemists whose purpose was self-regeneration.' With Boehme as an important early exponent, this 'tendency culminated in 1850' with Atwood's Suggestive Inquiry into the Hermetic Mystery. Taylor's statement, it turns out, could hardly have been more accurate yet has so far lacked the support of a comprehensive presentation. This led Principe and Newman to describe such claims of continuity regarding spiritual alchemy as mere 'conjecture' without 'clear historical evidence.' This book marshals that hitherto elusive evidence, much of it found in obscure manuscript sources, and thus documents the continuity of spiritual alchemy that links the early-modern to the modern era"--
The Book of Names, Especially Relating to the Early Palatines and the First Settlers in the Mohawk Valley
When originally published in 1933, this classic work listed for the first time the names of the early Palatines of New York State, the original settlers of the Mohawk Valley, known as the "Gateway to the West." The estimated 20,000 names are classified, combined, and otherwise arranged to enable the researcher to identify Palatine immigrants in relation to specific categories of records. Among the important lists of names are the following: (1) The Kocherthal records of baptisms, marriages, and deaths, 1708-1719; (2) Palatine heads of families, from Gov. Hunter's Ration Lists, 1710-1714; (3) Lists of Palatines in 1709 (the four London lists of emigrants from Germany, most of whom emigrated to America); (4) Palatines remaining and newly arrived in New York, from the colonial census of 1710; (5) Names of Palatine children apprenticed by Gov. Hunter, 1710-1714; and (6) Various lists of Palatines in the colonial militia of New York.
Deutsche Kolonisten in Dänemark und Russland
Nach einem schweren Anfang erlebten die deutschen Kolonien in Russland auch blühende Jahre, die leider nicht lange anhielten. Nachdem die deutschen Kolonisten ihre wirtschaftlichen und politischen Aufgaben erfüllt hatten, begannen antideutsche Ressentiments in der russischen Gesellschaft zu wachsen. Hinzu kam ein steigender Landmangel, der die Übersiedlung nach Sibirien und Zentralasien sowie gleichzeitig die Massenauswanderung aus Russland nach Nord- und Südamerika verursachte. Dieser 60-jährige Zeitraum und die Massenauswanderung der deutschen Bevölkerung zurück nach Deutschland nach dem Zusammenbruch der UdSSR sowie die politischen, ökonomischen und anderen globalen Ursachen für ...
Bach's Famous Choir
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the cantors of the St. Thomas School and Church in Leipzig could be counted among the most significant German composers of their times. But what attracted these artists - from Seth Calvisius to J.S. Bach to Johann Adam Hiller - to the music school and choir and inspired them to explore new repertoire of the highest standing? And how did the cantors influence the musical profile of the school - a profile that often became a bone of contention between school and city hall? The success of the St. Thomas School was not a foregone conclusion; its history is replete with challenges and setbacks as well as triumphs. The school was caught between the conf...
