Germantown: Gecruckt und zu finden bey Christoph Saur, 1776. 4to. 2 pts. in 1 vol. [2] ff., 992 pp,; 277, [1] pp., [1] f.
Popularly known as the "Gun Wad" Bible, this is the third edition of the first American Bible in a European language and it precedes the first American Bible in English by six years. It is known as the "Gun Wad" Bible from Isaiah Thomas's recounting of the sale of Saur's estate in 1778, wherein he says that during the Battle of Germantown the purchaser of the unbound sheets of the 1776 Bible "sold a part of [them] to be used as covers for cartridges, proper paper for the purpose being at that time not to be obtained" in the dislocations of the Revolution well, maybe.
What is not open to question is the fact that this is the first Bible printed from type cast in America. There are several variants of the edition: In this copy the main title-page is printed in black only and on the New Testament title-page the place of printing is given as "Germantown."
Provenance: On a front blank, "Joseph Price junr his Bible"; on front pastedown, "Abraham Price was born the 22. Day of June 1770.
Evans 14663; Hildeburn, The Issues of the Press in Pennsylvania, 16851784, 3336; Arndt & Eck, German Language Printing in the U.S., 475; O'Callaghan, p. 29; Rumball-Petre 162; Thomas, History of Printing in America, pp. 41113. Contemporary calf, very plain in style with minimal tooling and no spine label ever; rebacked and old spine reattached. One leather and metal clasp remaining. Hinges (inside) strengthened and free endpapers reattached. The usual foxing, staining, and browning only; perhaps somewhat less than usual a clean, untattered copy. Now housed in a quarter brown leather folding slipcase.

8vo size trade paperback with black and white photo illustrated front cover; 126 pages including a section of black and white photographs. In addition to serving as a chaplain overseas in World War II, Rabbi Seligson, served Central Synagogue in New York City as assistant rabbi, then chief rabbi for 20 years and later as rabbi emeritus. He was also the host of the Message of Israel radio program. The New York Times wrote in his obituary: "Rabbi Seligson was among the first Jewish chaplains to volunteer to serve overseas during World War II. As an Army chaplain, he held Passover seders for hundreds of soldiers in Calcutta, India, and comforted those hospitalized with jungle fever in Burma. He traveled the old Burma Road in a jeep with Christian chaplains, holding Sabbath services before sundown to avoid the malaria-bearing mosquitoes that emerged at nightfall. Although Rabbi Seligson went on to achieve national prominence, his chaplaincy to soldiers in wartime was his touchstone. ''I…

Description:
Leipzig, Germany: Otto Hotze's Rachfolger, 1922. This is a survivor of days gone by. Just after World War One, or as they knew it, The Great War, this book was published in Germany. It somehow survived WWII, either by traveling overseas beforehand thus avoiding the book burnings there, or being hidden by some intrepid rebel right under the noses of the Nazis. The edges of the book are sunned, the aging pages have come loose from the wraps all as a whole stapled group. The interior is delicate, but filled with such interesting anomalies, I have to offer it to the historians of the world.. First Edition. Trade Paperback. Poor. 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall. Book.
