1770 1^ed Germantown Pennsylvania SAUR Lucius Paradisische Aloe German Gunwad

Samuel Lucius’s ‘Die Paradisische Aloe’ is a collection of German inspirational lessons, most of which were written to encourage young female Christians. And while the content of this book is important, the real draw to this book is the history of its printing. This 1^st edition was printed in 1770 Pennsylvania. Christopher Saur and his father controlled nearly all German theological printing in Colonial America. It also happened that they were opposed to the American Revolution, leading their printed material to be published with anti-Revolutionary ideas.
