J. </em>(n.p., n.d.). This [[Anabaptism|Anabaptist]] hymnbook in the Low German language was published at the end of the 16th century. The author is [[David Joris (ca. 1501-1556)|David Joris]]. It was probably published by Gillis Roman at Haarlem, [[Netherlands|Holland]]. There is also a second edition, enlarged by two hymns; this second edition was in the Dutch language. A copy of the first edition is found in the Royal Library at The Hague, one of the second edition in the Library of the University of [[Ghent (Oost-Vlaanderen, Belgium)|Ghent]]. The hymns, for a large part composed by David Joris himself, deal with Anabaptist martyrs of the period 1529-1536. The fourth hymn is dedicated to Anneken N., viz., [[Anneken Jans (d. 1539) |Anneken Jans of Rotterdam]]. This hymn was also included in the[[Offer des Heeren, Het|<em> Offer des Heeren</em>]] of 1562. Many of the hymns contain an ecstatic apocalyptic mysticism, as taught by David Joris.
