"It is the dream of every publisher to hit upon a project that will win praise for contributing to the intellectual and cultural life." John B.

Angelus Silesius (1624-1677) Johann Scheffler was born in 1624 to Protestant parents in the Silesian capital of Breslau, seven years after the Thirty Years' War had begun unsettling Europe. At the age of 29, after graduating from the University of Padua, he converted to Catholicism and took the name Angelus. Although he pursued a career as an energetic and sometimes vitriolic apologist, it was his poetry that won him a place of importance in the mystical literature of the West.

The Cherubinic Wanderer over the decades has become an integral part of German religious folk literature.
