Harr Bible
This is not a Bible, but rather a German hymnal, if I
translated this correctly. It is very small, about 4" x 6",
and luckily for me the entries are all in English. It
must have been rebound somewhere along the way to
me, because there is some trim loss.
My best attempt at the title is Marburger Gefang Buch
bur Abung der Gottfeligfeit, Marburg und Frankfurt,
Rev. Heinrich Ludwig Kronner, 1796.
There are some hatch marks on the front flyleaf that may
indicate the number of times read.
