Lancaster, Pa.: Johann Bär, 1819. Folio (39.5 cm, 15.5"). Frontis., [5] ff., 100, 12 pp., [2] ff., 738, 26 pp.; [2 (blank)] ff.; 227, [1], 92 pp. Lacks plate before the N.T.
Johann Bär's 1819 German Luther Bible (in fraktur type, a.k.a., "black letter") was the first complete Bible printed in "Lancaster, [Penn]" and the=> first folio German Bible printed in America: It was an impressive production — large in size, set on good paper, and the type pleasantly laid out and neatly impressed in double-column format. The frontispiece, engraved by J. Henry and showing Moses with the tables of the law, is appealing.
In the preliminaries, the double-column text includes a brief biography of Luther and an essay by the famous Pietist August Herman Franke (1663–1727) advising how to read Scripture. The printer was only 19 years old when he undertook this massive project and despite the numerous subscribers listed on five preliminary pages in four-cloumn format, he was nearly bankrupted by the enterprise.
In the upper outer corner of the front pastedown is the large printed binder's label of "Henrich Miller, buchbinder, in der Ost – Dranien Strasse, gegeneuber der Lancaster.
O'Callaghan 146; Shaw & Shoemaker 47206; Arndt & Eck, German Language Printing in the U.S., 2363. Contemporary calf over wood boards, evidence of metal and leather clasp closures; leather perished, joints (outside) open, front board much loosened but holding tenuously and rear board more securely attached. Foxing and brown staining, as usual. Lacks the plate opposite the New Testament title-page. A good copy only yet still => a touching "story" and a touchstone American Bible.

Small stain on title page. Bound in period papered boards or faux-vellum (rubbed). A piece of paper covering is missing from bottom rear board. An old receipt for purchase of the book, dated 1925 is loosely inserted. Johann Jacob Breitinger (1701-1776) Influential Swiss-German literary critic whose writings, along with those of Johann Jacob Bodmer, helped to inspire a transition from Baroque to Modern German Literature. In 1740 Breitinger published his "critische Dichtkunst" (2 vols), a direct challenge to the classical viewpoint of leading Leipzig critic Johann Christoph Gottsched. Breitinger argued (contrary to Gottsched) that the poet’s passion should not be hindered by artificial rules (i.e. rhym). The feud which ensued with Breitinger and Bodmer on the one side and Gottsched on the other helped to…

In addition to serving as a chaplain overseas in World War II, Rabbi Seligson, served Central Synagogue in New York City as assistant rabbi, then chief rabbi for 20 years and later as rabbi emeritus. He was also the host of the Message of Israel radio program. The New York Times wrote in his obituary: "Rabbi Seligson was among the first Jewish chaplains to volunteer to serve overseas during World War II. As an Army chaplain, he held Passover seders for hundreds of soldiers in Calcutta, India, and comforted those hospitalized with jungle fever in Burma. He traveled the old Burma Road in a jeep with Christian chaplains, holding Sabbath services before sundown to avoid the malaria-bearing mosquitoes that emerged at nightfall. Although Rabbi Seligson went on to achieve national prominence, his chaplaincy to soldiers in wartime was his touchstone. ''I…
