Aurora, or the Day-Spring (Morning Redness in the Rising)
Morgenröte im Aufgang (Aurora)
His first book, written for himself in 1612 and never finished. Subtitled 'the root or mother of philosophy, astrology and theology', it covers the Trinity, the creation of the angels, the fall of Lucifer and the seven 'source-spirits' of divine nature, and comments on the first days of creation. In chapter nineteen Böhme narrates his own illumination. Copied without his permission, it provoked Pastor Richter's denunciation and the 1613 ban on writing; the manuscript remained in the authorities' hands. It already contains his whole thought in germ, in a language still groping and impassioned.
