Brief Description: One bound volume containing manuscript illustrated book created by women scribes of the Ephrata Community. Music for four voices composed at Ephrata for their 1739 hymnal, the Zionitischer Weyrauchs-Hügel. Rebound inaccurately, as can be seen by the faulty ordering of the modal charts in the first several pages of the book. Some water damage and illustrations removed.
