Please ask if you require a more detailed condition report, or view gallery images closely.A rare edition of this Lutherian postil (bible commentary) by Johann Spangenberg in a form of High German, published by Tobias Brückner at his press in Mülhausen in 1728. This work went through a number of regional editions in the 17th and 18th centuries. A very similar edition, with almost identical layout, was published in Minden in 1705, however the woodcut illustrations for the present edition were entirely re-engraved by Brückner.⁂ Brückner was famously the first to publish Johann Sebastian Bach's sonata Gott ist mein König, BWV 71, which the latter wrote in Mülhausen at the age of 22 while working as an organist there. Led by Bach on the organ, the cantata was first performed on 4th February 1708 at the town's main church, the Marienkirche. The cantata was the first of Bach's works to be printed, and the only cantata extant in print that was printed in Bach's lifetime. key words:
