Danzig organist Thomas Strutius set to music the first comprehensive collection of seventy-five religious songs by Johann Maukisch, the principal of the local academic gymnasium. This volume is the first to fully explore the Lobsingende Hertzens-Andacht über die Evangelia (1656/57), a unique work of early modern pericopal poetry, and documents the collaboration between these two personalities.
