The Francis Daniel Pastorius Reader
Francis Daniel Pastorius was one of the first German settlers to Pennsylvania and a touchstone figure of German-American cultural heritage. This monumental anthology presents a selection of his many writings in one volume. Pastorius sailed to North America as a Pietist but found a unique home among the Quakers in Pennsylvania. Within this early modern religious context, he was a lawyer, educator, and community leader; a polymath; and a prolific writer and collector of knowledge. At the turn of the eighteenth century, Pastorius held one of the largest manuscript collections in North America and wrote voluminously in multiple languages. His collecting, curation, and dissemination represents a ...
Francis Daniel Pastorius, His Hive, Melliotrophium Alvear Or, Rusca Apium
Pastorius' commonplace book, usually referred to as the Beehive manuscript (from Pastorius' prologue, p. 1), is a compendium and alphabetical digest of knowledge including inscriptions, epitaphs, proverbs, poetry, Biblical citations, theological citations, quotations, a list of books he read or knew, copies of letters, and notes on science, useful herbs and other plants. Pastorius divided his list of titles into "Quaker" and "No Quaker," Quaker titles number 414 and non-Quaker 700 (see Lyman W. Riley). A section of genealogical materials on the Pastorius family was bound in or laid in at the end of vol. 1, this includes a memorial poem to Francis Daniel Pastorius by Howell Powell, dated 1720, and added entries in many hands recording births and deaths in the Pastorius family to 1865. A Catalogue of Francis Daniel Pastorius his Manuscripts, is in Vol. 2, p. 736. Vol. 3 is a continuation of the indexes present in the Beehive Manuscript itself; it is in Pastorius' hand and its references are almost entirely to entries in Vol. 2.
Johann Jakob Schütz und die Anfänge des Pietismus
English summary: This work centers upon Johann Jakob Schutz (1640-1690), a legal expert and lyrical poet from Frankfurt. Using newly-discovered sources, Andreas Deppermann succeeds in giving the first complete portrayal of this fascinating but almost forgotten figure of church history. Apart from Philipp Jakob Spener, Schutz can be regarded as the originator and co-founder of Pietism, the most important religious revival movement in Protestantism since the Reformation. He was the person who initiated the development of the typical characteristics of Pietism: concentration on the Bible, the emphasis on spiritual priesthood, especially in the form of private gatherings of the pious outside of ...

The First Century of German Printing in America, 1728-1830
Excerpt from The First Century of German Printing in America, 1728-1830: Preceded by a Notice of the Literary Work of F. D. Pastorius Some years have their distinctive literature responsive to the complexion of the times. In 1742 a turbulent wave of religious controversy arose around the towering figure of Count Zinzendorf. In 1748 and still more in 1764 political dissensions led to an animated pamphlet warfare, in which the Germans heartily participated. The Revolution, also, is reflected in several German publications, the most important of which is the pamphlet of 1775, authorized by the German churches and the German Society, in favor of armed resistance.
