(Various editions of the Anne Catherine Emmerich's remarka...)
Various editions of the Anne Catherine Emmerich's remarkable visions have been compiled over the years, but only recently (2009) have Brentanos complete notebooks (in 38 volumes) been published, and this new 4-volume edition benefits greatly from this new resource. Anne Catherine was so attuned to the life of Jesus that her visions encompassed minute details of time and place. Along with other supplements, this definitive edition incorporates a day-by-day chronology andduring the days of Passiona nearly hour-by-hour itinerary. It contains also 43 detailed maps specially drawn to depict Jesuss journeys. Many efforts have been made to date events in the life of Jesus, but those offered in this edition differ from all previous efforts in that they derive from the application of modern chronological science to the totality of Anne Catherines visions as a coherent whole. In addition, 149 illustrations drawn from the monumental work of the French painter James J. Tissot (18361902)who was himself largely inspired by his Anne Catherines visionsare distributed among the 4 volumes. Over the years many have attested to the transformative power of these visions, and on Oct. 3, 2004, Anne Catherine was beatified by Pope John Paul II. It is the publishers hope that these visions, so engaging as historical narrative and so replete with spiritual insight, may open a gatewayfor the many moderns who have fallen out of connection with the life and teaching of Jesusto the earthly garden where the Spirit bloomed, and blossoms still. An extraordinary, captivating look at how a major mystic saw the life of Jesus, with monumental artwork that brings us to Palestine two thousand years ago, unfolding for our inspiration and discernment the greatest event in the history of humanity since Creation. Michael H. Brown, Spirit Daily To call Angelicos new, definitive edition of Anne Catherine Emmerichs visions of the life of Jesus a stunning, moving, and beautiful epic is almost an exercise in understatement.Kevin Vost, author of Memorize the Faith This magnificent and compelling treatise, centered upon the earthly life of of Jesus as perceived mystically by the stigmatized Seeress of Dülmen, captivates and enlightens. Its publication at this critical moment in church history could well be providential.Wolfgang Smith, author of Christian Gnosis Angelico Press has established a landmark in publishing this definitive, revised, and supplemented new edition of the visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich. Beatified by John Paul II in 2004, the prophetess who foresaw a Church of darkness and an unprecedented crisis in the papacy clearly speaks to our times. This multi-volume work will be the authoritative English-language reference for her testimony.Christopher Ferrara, author of The Secret Still Hidden These volumes, so beautifully bound, so carefully annotated, so majestically illustrated with Tissots original paintings and drawings (and so well mapped!), will help tune the hearts of our skeptical age toward the mysterious, which is to say the Divine.Christopher Check, president of Catholic Answers

Clemens Brentano was born on September 8, 1778, in Ehrenbreitstein, the son of an Italian businessman.
Clemens Brentano studied in Halle and Jena, afterwards residing at Heidelberg, Vienna and Berlin. He developed an early interest in literature and at the universities of Halle and Jena became acquainted with contemporary writers, especially Friedrich von Schlegel and Ludwig Tieck.
He had dedicated his first important novel, Godwi (1801) to his wife. Godwi is an "educational novel" about the passionate adventures of a wealthy young man. It is experimental in form, and the novelist himself enters the plot as one of the characters. The sensationalism of this first work is continued in the suspense drama Ponce de Leon (1801) and in the novel Chronika eines fahrenden Schülers (Chronicle of a Wandering Scholar), which was begun in 1803 as a medieval tale of romance, mysticism, and black magic. The exotic religiosity of this novel is also to be found in the series of verse narratives Romanzen vom Rosenkranz (Romances of the Rosary), which Brentano began about this time. In 1804 he settled in Heidelberg, where, with fellow romantics Achim von Arnim and Johann Josef von Görres, he edited the literary journal Zeitung für Einsiedler (Newspaper for Hermits). With Arnim he also compiled the most famous collection of German folk songs, Des Knaben Wunderhorn (The Boy's Magic Horn), in three volumes between 1805 and 1808. After the death of his wife in 1806, Brentano traveled about Germany for a few years. He met the Grimm brothers in Kassel in 1807 and in 1809 joined a literary group in Berlin. After a brief sojourn in Bohemia and Vienna (where he composed a patriotic drama inspired by the Germans' fight against Napoleon), he returned to Berlin and wrote his most famous story, Die Geschichte vom braven Kasperl und dem schönen Annerl (1817; The Story of Brave Caspar and Beautiful Annie). Brentano devoted the next several years to recording the utterances of the stigmatized nun Katharina Emmerich. After her death in 1824 he lived in Frankfurt and Coblenz and in 1833 settled in Munich, where he associated with a group of Catholic romantic writers, including Görres. Among Brentano's later works was a collection of fairy tales (1838), which shows his imaginative powers to be as lively as ever. Brentano died in Aschaffenburg on July 28, 1842.
