Justine Kerner

1786-1862


          NOTED GERMAN poet and physician of Weinsberg; author of a remarkable record of supernormal phenomena and experiments in magnetic therapeutics. 

In 1845 he published a book entitled The Seeress of Prevost; or Openings-up into the Inner Life of Man, and Mergings of a Spirit World into the World of Matter. In Germany the book made a great sensation. 

Kerner's reputation was very high.

King Ludwig made him the first knight of the newly instituted Maximilian Order of Science and Art.
