Notes
"The first book printed at the Brotherhood press."--Evans. Seidensticker disputes this claim, suggesting that the press was in operation before 1745.
There were two issues of this collection, with varied title pages. One was intended for use at Ephrata; the other (described here) for the Mennonites.
Commas substituted for virgules after "Haupt-Theilen" and "Vorreden" in title transcription.
Errors in paging: p. 331, 436 misnumbered 333, 634; page numbers 330-344 repeated. Cf. the erratum note on verso of last leaf.
