Theosophic Epistles
Correspondence
Theosophic Epistles
Theosophische Sendbriefe (Epistolae theosophicae)
More than sixty letters written between 1618 and 1624 to physicians, noblemen, officials and craftsmen of Silesia and Lusatia. They are the main source for his life (in the one to Caspar Lindner he tells of his illumination and the confiscation of the Aurora) and the plainest exposition of his doctrine, adapted to each correspondent.
