	ANGELUS SILESIUS, Samtliche Poetische Werke. 0. In drei Banden. Herausgegeben und eingeleitet von Hans Ludwig Held. Three volumes, Munich, n.d. [c. 1930]; each volume c. 350pp. with plates (portraits and facsimiles) in Volume I; publisher's cloth; spines faded and rubbed at head and tail with very short splits in some hinges at head of spines, boards partially faded, slight marginal damp-staining to c. 40 pp. of Vol. I. Angelus Silesius was one of the most celebrated religious poets of the German Baroque, best known then as now for his aphorisms in Alexandrine form "Der cherubinische Wandersmann". As far as we can ascertain, the Held edition, of which this is the second printing, is the only collected edition to include the early poems and the occasional pieces. The editior also contributes a biographical study which occupies much of the first volume.
