Exercitia oris, u.a. mit Betrachtungen zum Pater noster und Ave Maria, III. Exercitia operis. - Die ZB Zürich nennt als Autor der Journée wohl err.

Rare; OCLC (No. 718648605) locates only two copies of this edition (first published in 1644) at institutions worldwide, both in Swiss collections. Paradisus Animae Christianae (Paradise of the Christian Soul) was an extremely popular collection of Catholic prayers, devotions and litanies - both in its original Latin and in translation - which has been rediscovered in the 21st century by more traditional Roman Catholics and Protestants. Scarce in this imprint. This edition was bound with the 1649 Manuale Pietatis (Manual of Piety) by Horstius. Jacob Merlo Horstius (1597-1644), born in Horst, Holland (from whence he derives his name), was a prominent doctor of theology known as an effective preacher at the Lyskirchen in Cologne, where he served as pastor. The Paradisus Animae, which has gone through many editions in the original Latin since its 1644 first edition, was long a favorite prayer book among Catholics. In addition to his influential edit, with commentary, of the works of Thomas a Kempis (author of 'Imitation of Christ'), Horstius authored and edited numerous books, including a highly respected commentary of Estius on the Pauline Letters and the works of St. Bernard.…

Next to the Bible, The Imitation is the most popular Christian work in history, being a religious classic, and seeing numerous printings.
