Edition of 110, 30 pages. Ten etchings and four prints. Text printed in Zette Fraktur on paper hand made by Correspondance des Arts. Design by Igor Podolczak & Janusz Tryzno.

This is the 14th publication of CdA, 13 short fragments from Jacob Boehme's (1575-1624) writings selected and translated into Polish by Jan Tomkowski, printed here in both Polish and the original German. Podolczak's illustrations perfectly evoke Boehme's mystic philosopy. In 1994 this book was awarded the Walter Tiemann Prize and the Sch_nste B_cher aus Aller Welt.

Correspondance des Arts has a 25-year history, with 23 artists' books and several art projects and installations to its credit. Since 1993 CdA's books have been produced in the Book Art Museum in Lodz.
