1776 Stout Family Bible

1776 Stout Family Bible Help to preserve the Stout Family Bible! Contact us: [email protected] It took three years to produce. Very few copies of this bible exist today.

Christoph Saur, 1693-1758, printed the first European language Bible in America in Germantown, Pennsylvania in 1743. The 1776 edition of the Saur Bible was printed By Christoph Saur II . This was in the first state of printing, before remaining copies of the Bible were confiscated by American authorities during the Revolutionary War. Based on research, this book appears to have been printed and st

itched together before the Battle of Germantown, October 1777. After that event, remaining copies of the Bible were seized by American authorities because of Saur’s refusal to take the loyalty oath to the new nation. A “Blessings List” is planned to record names of those contributing $25.00 or more. This list is to be retained with the historic Saur Bible recognizing donors for preserving local history.
