‎Exceedingly rare first edition of Scriver’s beautifully illustrated devotional prayer book. Christian Scriver (1629–1693) was a German Lutheran theologian and devotional writer. Scriver's writings focused on practical spirituality and personal piety, aiming to guide readers in their Christian walk. We have not been able to trace a single copy in the trade. OCLC list three copies, all in Germany.‎
