De Signatura Rerum (The Signature of All Things)
De signatura rerum, oder Von der Geburt und Bezeichnung aller Wesen
His treatise on the 'signature': everything visible bears inscribed in its form, colour and sound the inner quality that generated it, and whoever can read those marks reads the being of all beings. Böhme combines the Paracelsian doctrine of signatures with an alchemical-type process (the seven properties, the death and resurrection of matter) which he applies at once to metals, plants and the rebirth of the soul. It was one of his most widely read books in England and among the German Romantics.
