AMALIE, CATHARINA,
A daughter of count Philip Dieterich, of Waldeck, was born in 1640, and married in 1664, to count George Louis of Alpach, at Which place she died in 1696. She had in her time considerable reputation as a writer of hymns; which, however, it is said, were "more remarkable for the pure and pious feelings which they express, than for their poetical merit." A collection of them was published under the title "Andachtige Singekunst," in 1690.
