M[artin] Lut[hers] unnd anderer from[m]en Christen, 2 works in one vol., old inscription on blank preliminary leaf presenting the book to a godchild, modern goatskin, decorated edges, 37 x 22mm., Ulm, Jonas Saur, 1631

Footnotes

Extremely scarce pair of devotional miniature books. The first, whose title translates as "A Little Bedtime Book", is a collection of prayers compiled by Johann Jeep (1582-1644, composer of hymns, psalm settings and secular songs, Kapellmeister to Count Hohenlohe at Weickersheim); the second contains hymns and psalms by Luther and others. Not recorded in Bondy, who does refer however to a similar miniature book of Jeep's, Christlich Gesang-Büchlein (1648 Ulm), a copy of which is in the British Library.
