Theologia Germanica: Modern English Edition, translated by Susanna Winkworth. Includes: -- NCX Navigation with links to all chapters and sections. -- Interactive Table of Contents. The Theologia Germanica is believed to have been written around 1350, by a priest in the house of the Teutonic order in Frankfort, Germany, and its theology draws upon the Latin Christianity of the Rhineland. It has appeared in many editions and languages over its 600-year history, and has taken its place beside the Imitation of Christ, in literature of devotion. Susanna Winkworth (1820-1884), translated the most complete version of the Theologia Germanica known, based on the Wurtzburg Manuscript. Her translation includes additional passages not found in the editions made popular by Martin Luther. The Modern English Edition of the Theologia Germanica has been edited to provide a more-modern easier-reading text while preserving the grammar and syntax of Winkworth's original translation. |
