Zionitischer Weyrauchs-hügelChristopher Sauer, 1739[SAUER, Christopher (1695-1758).] Zionitischer Weyrauchs-hügel oder, Myrrhen Berg. Germantown, PA: Christopher Sauer, 1739. First edition of the first significant work printed in German in America, second issue with correct imposition of quire B. "The Weyrauchs Hügel was the largest and most important collection of the hymns of the Ephrata Cloister" (Evans). Conrad Beissel, who wrote many of these hymns, first came to Pennsylvania to join the community of the occult mystic Johannes Kelpius—who had died about a decade earlier. Instead he founded the utopian community of the Ephrata Cloister in what is now Lancaster County, as an offshoot of the Schwarzenau Brethren. The cloister was known for its music as well as its robust printing program, producing texts and translations for the German-speaking Protestant communities of the region. Arndt 17; Evans 4466; Sabin 106364. Octavo (155 x 91mm). (2 bifolia in gathering Ll sprung with outer edges cropped, a few leaves of the register just shaved and a little chipped, dampstaining and spots, hole affecting a few words on Y1.) Contemporary calf, catchplates and remains of straps (a little worn, without catches and front endpaper). Custom box. Provenance: Edison Institute, Dearborn MI (blindstamp).
