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.
