Magdalena and Balthasar
In the book, Magdalena and Balthasar, Steven Ozment reveals and interprets letters written by a husband and wife in the late sixteenth century. The letters entailed daily life occurrences between Magdalena and Balthasar through a sixteen year period. They explained the joy, hardships, and intimate love relationship that Magdalena and Balthasar experienced in a portion of their lives. Their close and personal relationship in which they had between one another clearly explained that remaining in good health, being business partners, and having faith in God were priorities that Magdalena and Balthasar had in their lives. Magdalena and Balthasar were always aware of all of the ailments and diseases that they were susceptible to. They were unfortunately witnesses to many casualties of friends and relatives. Due to the lifestyle in which they lived, they were not by each other's side all the time and therefore were in constant worry of one another, praying that the other was in good health condition. Magdalena writes to Balthasar on the 7 of July 1584, in Altdorf, saying, "I have hoped that Almighty God will grant my heartfelt prayer and restore your health there by Christian means, since it has not been his will to do so her
She was in charge of all the billing of peasant customers and clients and had to keep exact records. ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**. " This displays how Balthasar believes that God will be the reason for them to reunite after their long separation. Issues such as success and failure, sickness and health, and life and death. Balthasar believed that one remedy to keep his health was drinking water. Both understood the pain and grief that it would bring upon them if they did. Balthasar's work was a main priority in his life and he made Magdalena a part of it. If God was unable to take his son out of the state he was in then no one would have been able to help him. Balthasar was able !to trust Magdalena as a business woman and therefore, knew that she was capable to run his business and make decisions when he was not there. The laxatives were used to eliminate all of the waste that remained in hi!s body. Wilhelm Kress has taken one and a half kegs.
