Note
The source of this booklet is a publication by Johannes Evangelista Goßner. A friend had asked him to reprint an illustrated pamphlet translated from French into German in the 1730s. Goßner kept ten Jesuit emblems depicting various states of the human heart on its spiritual journey. However, he insisted on rewriting the texts.
Goßner’s booklet Das Herz des Menschen appeared in several European and other languages editions from the 1810s onwards. It was used for evangelism and spiritual care.
