(4) Biographical and Critical
[The earliest (and best) life of Boehme is that written by his friend Abraham
von Franckenberg, in the printed editions always dated 1651, but written by
Franckenberg (in Latin) in 1637. It reached Amsterdam, and was translated
into German as early as 1638-and probably was circulated in MS (see a letter
from 'E. H. ' from Görlitz, 21 Feb. 1669, printed by Francis Okely, in his
Memoirs of J. B. , 1780, p. 122). It is printed in many editions of Boehmet
works, as, for instance, in the Forty Questions, pub. 1665 in London, or in
German, in the 1682 edition, Amsterdam, and it forms the basis of all the
other lives, such as the earliest English one below, or that prefixed to ‘Law
edition. For a collection (translated into English) of all documents giving
firsthand information as to Boehme's life and work, see Francis Okely's
Memoirs, 1780, below. ]
