KLEIN-NICOLAI, Georg (1671-1734; pseud "Georg Paul Siegvolck"). Das von Jesu Christo Dem Richter der Lebendigen und der Todten, Aller Creatur zu predigen befohlene Ewige Evangelium. Germantown: Christoph Sauer, 1769.

Rare imprint from Christoph Sauer, the first German-language printer in North America, and an early work of Christian Universalism in North America. Siegvolck was the pseudonym of German pastor Georg Klein-Nicolai and the work was first published in Magdeburg, Germany, in 1700. An English translation by "John S." was also published by Sauer in 1753. This German edition of Ewige Evangelium is last recorded in RBH as selling at Parke Bernet in 1964. RBH does not record any copies of the first edition. Cf. A Critical History of the Doctrine of a Future Life by William Rounseville Alger, entries 3807, 3808; Sabin 80878.
