Jackson on front pastedown. Heinrich Eduard Stiebel (1851-1928), a notable art and book collector, was especially interested in finding significant items from his birth city, Frankfurt am Main.

Church rituals for the French Lutherans living in Frankfort, Germany at the end of the seventeenth century. After Louis XIV of France, revoked the Edict of Nantes in 1685, the French Protestants lost the religious protection it afforded them and had little choice but to leave France or face severe persecution. Many of these refugees ended up in Germany and Frankfurt am Main was especially attractive, as it was a free city and an intellectual center with a robust printing press in the French language.
