Summary
This book includes accounts of the martyrdom of the apostles and the stories of martyrs from previous centuries. Next to the Bible, the Martyrs' Mirror has historically held the most significant and prominent place in Amish and Mennonite homes. The Martyrs Mirror is still a beloved book among Amish and Mennonites. While less common now in the 20th century, Martyrs' Mirror is a common wedding gift for Amish and Mennonite families. In 1745, Jacob Gottschalk arranged with the Ephrata Cloister to have them translate the Martyrs Mirror from Dutch into German and to print it. The work took 15 men three years to finish and in 1749, at 1,512 pages, it was the largest book printed in America before the Revolutionary War. [wikipedia]

The "Losungen" or passwords originally consisted of a verse of the Bible (followed by a stanza of a hymn) selected for each day by Count N.L. Zinzendorf, and at first circulated among the members of the congregation at the daily visits made by one of the brethren, later given out at the nightly gatherings of the Moravians. From 1731 they were published in print. The present collection comprises the "Losungen" selected by Zinzendorf and published each year under various titles. It includes a fragment of the "Losungen" for the year 1729 (v. 1, prel. leaves 20-28). After Zinzendorf's death the "Losungen" were drawn by members of the supervising board from a selection of 2000 verses of the O.T., the "lehrtexte" were chosen from the N.T. each to be followed by a stanza of a hymn.
