Description
A genre- and theme-broad collection of hagiographic and meditative works by Fridrich Bridel (1619—1680) makes available to contemporary readers, in a modern editorial format, not only canonical works but also lesser-known ones: a demanding prosimetrum, lyrical poetry, and extensive verse compositions of a religious educational and spiritually meditative nature. The volume includes the hagiographic treatise The Life of Saint Ivan (1657), the Christmas hymnbook Jesličky (1658) with transcribed Baroque notations, the meditative poem What God? Man? (1658), emblematic of Czech literary Baroque, and the verse catechism Christian Teaching Explained in Verses (1681), promising a deeper understanding of the essence of Baroque piety.
