Johannes Kelpius (German pronunciation: [ˈjo:hanəs ˈkɛlpi:ʊs]; 1667 – 1708) was a German Pietist, mystic, musician, and writer. He was also interested in the occult, botany, and astronomy. He came to believe with his followers – called the "Society of the Woman in the Wilderness" – that the end of the world would occur in 1694. This belief, based on an elaborate interpretation of Revelation 12:6, anticipated the advent of a heavenly kingdom somewhere in the wilderness during that year.

Philadelphia had been founded in 1682, but the city and the Province of Pennsylvania had quickly become a tolerant haven and

  • Johannes Kelpius (vers 1667 - 1708) est un théologien piétiste allemand. Né sous le nom de Johann Kelp en 1667, près de la ville de Schässbourg dans la principauté de Transylvanie (aujourd'hui en Roumanie), il n'y reste pas et émigre en Allemagne vers l'âge de douze ans, puis en Amérique à l'âge de 21 ans, pour y vivre en ermite dans une grotte sur les bords du Wissahickon, en Pennsylvanie. Il est l'inspirateur d'un groupe de mystiques parfois appelés Society of the Woman in the Wilderness. Il meurt à l'âge de 41 ans et laisse une œuvre littéraire et musicale féconde (traités religieux, hymnes). (fr)
