Old Religious Book on the Martyrs printed by the Pa.-German Brotherhood at Ephrata_ near Reading_ Pa. 1748 Der Blufige Schonklar (german writing on first page of this book) The Blaufige Schonklar - this is the English Translation per goggle on 11/22/2016. There is a letter in box A92 which was written to Miss Murray on Oct.18_1934 from Nellie M. Storch letting Miss Murray know some of the translation of this book. Die Blutige Schau-Platz Ephrata_ Pennsylvania 1748-1749 Der Blutige Schau-Platz : oder Martyrer-Spiegel der Tauffs Gesi�ten oder Wehrlosen-Christen_ Die um des Zeugnuss Jesu ihres Seligmachers willen gelitten haben_ und seynd get�dtet worden_ von Christi Zeit an bis auf das Jahr 1660 / Vormals aus unterschiedlichen glaubw�rdigen Chronicken_ Nachrichten und Zeugn�ssen gesammlet und in Holl�ndischer Sprach heraus gegeben von T. J. V. Braght; Nun aber sorgf�ltigst ins Hochteutsche �bersetzt und zum erstenmal ans Licht gebracht. The Bloody theater or martyr's mirror of the baptist-minded [i.e._ Anabaptists] or defenseless Christians who have suffered in witness of Jesus their Savior and have been killed since Christ�s time up to the year 1660/ formerly gathered from various trustworthy chronicles_ reports and testimonies and published here in the Dutch language by T. J. V. Braght; now most carefully translated into German and for the first time published. This is_ at 1512 pages_ the largest book printed in colonial America. It is also a monument to the strength and faith of those members of the Mennonite community who commissioned the book_ and it is a triumph of craftsmanship. How did it come to be printed by a small cloistered community at a place then on the frontier of European settlement? Among the first settlers in William Penn's new colony were a group of families_ led by Francis Daniel Pastorius_ who arrived in 1683 from Crefeld in western Germany. During the next 80 years there were successive waves_ many from the Electoral Palatinate higher up the Rhine_ of German immigration to Pennsylvania. These people often are subsumed under the name Palatines. Many of the people in the early groups of immigrants to Pennsylvania belonged to Anabaptist sects_ especially to the Mennonites. They were the descendants of groups which had developed in central and western Europe_ notably in Switzerland and in the Netherlands_ and which had suffered greatly in the 16th and 17th centuries for their beliefs. Anabaptists owe the name to their belief in baptism of believers - baptism not of infants_ but of people old enough to understand what baptism meant to them. The word means baptized again - for early on many who had been baptized as infants were again baptized as adults. In German they were often called Wiedertaufer_ with the same meaning. They believed_ and do believe_ in keeping church and state separated; they were_ and are_ pacifists_ not wishing to bear arms against others - Mennonites often referred to themselves as wehrlose christenen_ defenseless Christians; and they refused to swear oaths. Many of their beliefs frightened and angered others - because they did not fit into main-stream beliefs and_ perhaps_ because others feared having in their communities people with these unorthodox ideas. As has too often happened_ people thinking outside the box suffered. Anabaptists were persecuted both by the Catholic church and by other Protestant groups. The worst persecution began during the 1520's in Switzerland - Zurich_ Geneva_ Berne_ and Basel - and in the Netherlands. During the 16th century Anabaptists were executed by the thousands - by the sword_ by burning_ by drowning (sometimes sneeringly called the third baptism). They were tortured and they were imprisoned under appalling conditions. They were sold as galley slaves to the Republic of Venice. At the very least_ they lost their property and possessions and had to flee_ the Swiss usually going down the Rhine; their descendants were among the German-speakers who came_ looking for freedom_ to Pennsylvania. This past and their knowledge of it was an integral part of their heritage. In 1562 there was printed anonymously in the Netherlands Het Offer des Heeren (Sacrifice to the Lord) which gave the stories of 21 Dutch Mennonite martyrs and included songs about them. By the end of the century at least 10 more enlarged editions had been printed and during the next 30 years other books of martyrs were printed. In 1631 was published in Haarlem in the Netherlands Martelaers-Spiegel der werelose Christenen t'zedert anno 1524 - Martyr's mirror of the defenseless Christians from 1524 to the tune of 864 pages_ not counting the introduction and forward. Here for the first time martyr's mirror is in the title. Thirty years later (1660) a young Dutch clergyman_ Tieleman Jansz van Braght_ published at Dordrecht_ also in the Netherlands_ Het Bloedig Toneel der Doops-gesinde En Weereloose Christenen - The bloody theater of Anabaptists and defenseless Christians. van Braght says in the preface that he had set out to edit the book of 1631 and to add a little new material_ but soon felt that he needed to do an entire rewriting of it. This book was commonly known in Dutch as the Martelaersspiegel or Martyr's Mirror. This is the great martyrs book of Anabaptist groups and still is being read - in German - only a few miles from where this is being written. By fifty years after the founding of Pennsylvania (1683) the Anabaptist presence had spread and there were established Mennonite communities in modern Montgomery_ Bucks_ Berks_ and Lancaster counties in southeastern Pennsylvania. They had built communities and good lives but were troubled by two things. Older people feared that their children and grandchildren had lost touch with the knowledge of their past. They had van Braght's book_ but younger people could not read Dutch. The other concern was with conditions nearby and in Europe. Since the late 17th century England and France had fought several "small" wars for dominance in Europe and control of the most profitable colonies. Several of these wars had both a European and an American phase_ the American phase usually involving Indians who adhered to one side or the other; the best-known American phase would be the French and Indian Wars of 1755-1763. In general - not always though - Indians were allies of the French. England's over-all pattern of colonization was built upon the harvesting of both natural resources and of crops_ these grown often in plantation agriculture. Settlers were needed to do the work; the raw materials collected went to England and then were returned to the colonists as more expensive manufactured goods. France_ at least in North America_ was concerned with natural resources - notably the fur trade - and settlement ran a distant second. Trading posts_ yes; settlement_ not really. This approach was far more acceptable to the Indians who feared westward expansion of the English-settled colonies. William Penn had worked hard at dealing honorably with the Indians_ something his heirs did to a much lesser extent_ and both English and German settlers in Pennsylvania feared that war might come nearly to their door-steps. How could young people not familiar with the Mennonite heritage of non-resistance deal with such situations? So_ in 1742 representatives of the Mennonite community at Skippack in Montgomery County_ northwest of Philadelphia_ wrote to the Mennonite community in Amsterdam asking about having van Braght's book translated into German. There was no reply so they wrote again in October 1745 asking what it would cost to have the book translated and to have 1000 copies printed. The Skippack people also had gone to the well-known printer_ Christopher Saur (Sauer)_ in Germantown (now part of Philadelphia) with the same questions. Saur had recently produced the first German bible printed in America_ but felt that he could not take on a job of that size and suggested that the Skippackers should approach Conrad Beisel's cloistered community near Ephrata in Lancaster County. Beisel was a charismatic character who in 1732 had founded_ with a small group of followers_ a Sabbatarian commune on the Cocalico Creek near modern Ephrata in northern Lancaster County_ Pennsylvania - to put it into perspective_ it is about 130 miles north of Washington_ DC. By the middle of the 1740's the commune had both a paper mill and a print shop. Ephrata had also a remarkable member_ Peter Miller_ who would be there for nearly sixty years; he was a graduate of the university at Heidelberg and was said to know eight languages. Two men from Skippack_ Henry Funk and Dielman Kolb_ went up to Ephrata and arrived at an opportune time. The community had just gone through a period of turmoil and soul-searching about what many members saw as too great an interest in profit-making; this resulted in a greater work load which left less time for prayer and meditation. The commune had two gristmills_ a mill for linseed oil_ a sawmill_ a fulling mill_ the paper mill_ the print shop and a tannery. However a return to greater spirituality had begun and the brethren wished that to continue. An agreement was reached. The Ephrata Brethren_ who "did not propose to get rich"_ pledged to do their best job; the Mennonites promised to buy the books at a reasonable price if the quality of the translation and of the workmanship suited them. Not a bad deal - especially since they had no word from Amsterdam until February_ 1748. The word when it came was that Amsterdam could not help - too expensive. The Dutch recommendation was that the Americans translate a few of the best stories and have the young people copy them out. cloister Part of the Ephrata Cloisters today Peter Miller_ who would years later translate the Declaration of Independence into the languages of European courts_ started translating van Braght. Miller said that it took him three years of near day and night work. The paper makers started stock-piling; ink was produced_ about 400 gallons of it_ made of lamp-black_ linseed oil_ oak galls_ and the fruit of Phytolacca americana (pokeberries); and boards of white oak were cut to be seasoned for the bindery. Funk and Kolb stayed at Ephrata_ proofreading every page as it came off the press. By 1751 most of the books had been printed and sewn and were ready for purchase and binding. The press-run is said to have been either 1200 or 1300. In September of 1753 Israel Acrelius_ a Swedish pastor who spent several years in Pennsylvania_ went with George Ross of Lancaster (later a signer of the Declaration of Independence) to visit Ephrata. Acrelius says that 700 copies had "been circulated" at a price of 22 shillings each_ although most other sources put the price at 20 shillings. It's not easy to compare those 20 shillings with this year's dollars_ but_ to give some idea_ in 1759 the price of a bushel of wheat at Lancaster_ Pennsylvania was 8 shillings. After Acrelius' mention of the book it drops out of sight for 20 plus years. It may be that the 700 hundred copies sold by 1753 had filled the immediate needs of the market and that the rate of sales had dropped off. Information about the Martyr's Mirror appears again in Chronicon Ephratense_ a history of the community published in 1789. Here appears the well-known story of Continental troops coming in 1776 to Ephrata and going off with 2 wagonloads of unbound copies_ the paper to be used to make gun cartridges. For the flintlock muskets of the time a cartridge was a charge of powder and a musket ball wrapped together in paper. The user tore open the cartridge with his teeth_ poured a little powder into the pan_ and dumped the rest_ and the ball_ and the paper down the barrel to be seated by the ramrod. It did make reloading a bit faster. The story continues that the troops were reluctant to use the books for this purpose and that most of the copies were returned to Ephrata. There the story stopped. Amazingly the story was continued in 1985 when a copy of the Martyr's Mirror turned up in a used bookshop in Indiana. It was bought by a man_ himself Amish_ who is very interested in Anabaptist history. On the flyleaf is a note_ in German_ written by Joseph von Gundy_ born near Ephrata in 1751. von Gundy wrote that the book in which he was writing was one of those which had come back from Philadelphia. He also stated that 150 or a few more copies were used for cartridges_ but that soldiers then stopped using them - their own conscience told them that it had not been printed for such a purpose. The government offered to return the remaining books if it was paid for them and for the "shipping and handling". von Gundy says_ This we did_ sending them payment in 1786 when Congress money was worth so little that this book unbound did not cost me over four shillings and six pence � He continues that 175 books were returned although many of them were damaged. Fortunately his copy was complete. After the fighting stopped the great westward movement of Americans began. Joseph von Gundy himself ended up in Harrison County_ Ohio. It is easy to imagine a Mennonite family preparing to go off to the new country_ but not leaving the old until a copy of the Martyr's Mirror_ perhaps one of those returned in 1786_ had been bought at Ephrata and packed up. When the last copy was sold at Ephrata we do not know. The community existed in some form until 1934_ but there seem to be no remaining records of its sales. The Physical Book A copy of Die Blutige Schau-Platz should have 1512 pages in 2 separately paginated parts. The first part_ dated 1748 on the title page_ deals with Christian martyrdom from the time of Christ to 1500_ with a few later martyrs in the last chapter. The second part_ dated 1749 on the title page_ deals with those_ nearly all of them Anabaptists_ martyred during the 16th and 17th - up to 1660 - centuries. At the end is a statement from the Mennonites endorsing the correctness of the translation of text into German. titlepage binding the first title page & hand made corner pieces on leather-covered oak boards There were several later printings/editions. In 1780 it was reprinted in Germany at Pirmasens in the Palatinate. The first reprinting in America was by Joseph Ehrenfried at Lancaster in 1814 and the book was first translated into English in 1837_ also at Lancaster. The Martyr's Mirror is now easily available in English_ both in print and even on-line_ from translations made from the Dutch original. The Martyr's Mirror is all home-grown - the need for the book_ and the capability at Ephrata to produce every bit of it - the translation_ the paper_ the ink_ the oak boards_ and the Ephrata tannery's leather to cover them. To have in front of you a Martyr's Mirror from Ephrata is to have there a remarkable piece of colonial history.

Manuscript

The letter that came with the manuscript reads.....My mother Sally Sheffey lived in Towanda for many years where she taught English_ was a member of DAR_ and a friend of Alice Hagerman. Perhaps these are some clues as to how her Mother happened to have this. or perhaps she thought it an interesting story for her own two daughters who ar the time were about Betsy's age. Should this manuscript be of any interest to you I would appreciate what you may learn about it's history and /or significance.
