Zweite Ausgabe der 1684 erstmals erschienenen Liedsammlung, wohl weitgehend eine Titelauflage. Neu gesetzt wurden lediglich die ersten vier Blatt mit dem Titel und den drei Blatt "Anzeige vorhabender Gedancken". Enthält 81 geistliche Lieder, davon 75 mit Noten für Singstimme und bezifferten Bass in Typendruck. "Knorrs Lieder waren vor allem unter den Pietisten verbreitet und wurden z. T. in deren Gesangbüchern abgedruckt. Unter dem als Hrsg. zeichnenden 'guten Freund' vermutet Kemp Knorrs Mitarbeiter Johann Jacob Schütz" (Dünnhaupt). "Ob Knorr auch der Komponist der 75 Melodien ist, erscheint zweifelhaft" (MGG VII 1280f.). Knorr von Rosenroth (1636-1689) stammt aus dem schlesischen Adelsgeschlecht der Knorr von Rosenroth. Er studierte Frankfurt an der Oder und ab 1655 in Leipzig Theologie, Jura, Geschichte, Philosophie, klassische und moderne Sprachen und schloss die Studien 1660 als Magister mit einer Dissertation zur antiken Numismatik ab. In den folgenden Jahren betrieb er Privatstudien, vermutlich in Wittenberg, und bereiste 16631666 die Niederlande, Frankreich und England. In den Niederlanden fand er Kontakt zu christlichen Gruppierungen wie den Mennoniten, Theosophen und geistlich inspirierten Naturforschern. Meir Stern unterrichtete ihn in der Kabbala. Lebensentscheidend für ihn wurde der Kontakt zu Franciscus Mercurius van Helmont, dem Sohn des berühmten Johan Baptista van Helmont, durch dessen Vermittlung er 1668 Hof- und Kanzleirat von Herzog Christian August zu Pfalz-Sulzbach wurde. Er starb dort genau an dem Tag und zu der Stunde, die er vorausgesagt hatte. Eine schöne Charakterisierung des Autors und seiner Zeit gibt Curt von Faber du Faur in seinem Katalog "German Baroque Literature" der Yale Universität, die wir hier auszugsweise wiedergeben: "The man of the Baroque period still lived in a world influenced by magic, and the peculiar thing about him is that he attempted to overcome this magic by rational means. His attempts and researches in the fields of both black and white magic have a secular basis which is relatively rational and bound with strict rules which he sought to comprehend. Basically the supernatural world and the every-day world differ only insofar as wonders do not occur daily. The structure of things was as yet unknown, and everywhere one met a world which escaped calculation. One assumed that this world by analogy with one's own being was provided with a will and could be influenced by the same familiar means as mankind. This influence could be exerted by the employment of certain determined laws which were immutable. One need only learn them, whereupon one could dominate them through the formulas of incantation, which likewise are permanent, unlike all human statutes, which may be improved or voided. Once these formulas are mastered, one has control over the elements, the spirits, indeed fate itself. Knorr von Rosenroth still belongs wholly to this wonder world. In Holland he met Franz Mercurius van Helmont, and in England Henry More. Under their influence he began to find, through the study of natural science, mysticism, and cabala, vitalistic explanations for the most obscure phenomena of nature. What he sought was the way to true felicity, which he found in the Unio Mystica Dei, but not as did the earlier mystics, by way of method, exercise, and training rather, roundabout through nature. Within the elements he sees exceedingly minute indivisibles which are charged with life and are essentially spirit something like the forerunner of our modern atomic theory. Leibniz considered van Helmont's influence on Knorr so profound, that the thought van Helmont was joint author of the Kabbala Denudata, which is probalbly not true" (Faber du Faur S. 333).
