About This Item
Germantown, PA: Christoph Sauer, 1764. No Binding. Poor. 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall. See photos for condition details. This original binding is missing both boards and at least half of the spine. The first end page has a hand drawn color calligraphic title along with additional handwriting which is difficult to read. This edition was first published in 1744 by Christopher Sauer (Senior),and then this edition was printed by his son: Christopher Sauer II, and contained 575 hymns, of which 28 were added to the original. In 1743, Sauer (Senior) published the first German-language Bible to be printed in North America (the first in any European language). The main book of 570 pages are darkened due to age but are, for the most part, in good condition. The damaged portions as seen in the images is the index in the back of "Melodien Register", where the pages are mostly there but are folded up and torn in the lower outside corner. The last remaining pages, which are heavily damaged in the same area has a title page reading "Ein Besang". No attempt has been made to unfold these crimps because it may damage the paper itself, but the last couple pages are incomplete. No other handwriting was found in the book other than that on the first page. A couple pages in the main body have minor corner folds. The last few pages are in English, the rest of the book is in German.

Yesterday's Book shop is owned and operated by a disabled veteran. Due to my limitations, I often have to rely on speech-to-text software to list the books. If the description has typos ("and pages" instead of "end pages", pace downs instead of pastedowns, guilt instead of gilt, etc,) PLEASE let me know so I can correct the listing. The software spells words by phonetics and can make errors that I may not catch.
There is a 30 day money back guarantee if the book arrives damaged or is not as described. Please contact us prior if you have any issues with your purchases and we will make sure you are taken care of.

About Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Yesterday's Book Shop is an independent, family-owned establishment. The store first opened in 1966 under the name Collector's Corner and was located in Western Maryland. The Collector's Corner dealt mainly in books but also sold stamps and assorted ephemera. In 1975 the name was changed to Yesterday's Book Shop when the store only offered books and printed matter. In the early 2000s the brick and mortar store was closed and now we only sell online.
