Leaf
from the
First
Germantown
Bible
,
1743
A.D.
,
Germantown
:
Gedruckt
bey
Christoph
Saur
; The
first
issue
, in
America
, of the
Bible
printed
in a
European
language
.
Luther's
version
was
used
, with
addtions
from the
mystic
Berlenburg
Bible
and an
appendix
to the
New
Testament
prepared
by
Saur
himself
. The
printer
encountered
great
difficulties
and
opposition
as a
result
of
limited
finances
,
lack
of
type
, and the
religious
controversies
of the
time
.
Lutheran
ministers
and the
Schwenkfelders
preached
against
Saur
,
who
was
classed
as an '
arch-Separatist
'. Of the
1200
copies
which
were
printed
and
which
required
more
that
two
decades
to be
disposed
of,
only
about
150
copies
are
known
to be in
existence
(Darlow
and
Moule
4240).
