Die Wandelnde Seele (The Wandering Soul) Das ist gespracheder Wandelnden Seelen mit Adam, Noah und Simon Cleophas By Johann Philipp Schabalie In German Published by Christoph Saur. Full leather binding with clasps Wandering Soul , the English title of a popular devotional book, originally written in Dutch by Johann Philip Schabaelje , a Waterlander Mennonite, and published in 1635 at Alkmaar in the Netherlands . The earliest known German edition was 1741, Die wandlende Seel, das ist: Gespräch der wandlenden Seelen mit Adam, Noah und Simon Cleophas , printed at Basel by von Mechel. The translator was B.B.B., possibly Benedikt Brechbill . Two further editions, 1770 and 1811, came from the von Mechel press, and at least three editions appeared in Germany during the same period, at Frankfurt and Leipzig in 1758 and 1770 and at Stuttgart in 1860. This edition is the second printed in America by Saur. Saur reprinted the same German translaton at Germantown, in 1768 and 1771. Other Germantown imprints are 1794 and 1805, which were followed by 12 known editions in the 19th century at Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The subject matter of the book pertains chiefly to historical events, both Biblical and secular, from the Creation to about the end of the first century after Christ.
