Chronicon Ephratense by Lamech
A history, originally published in 1786 and translated in 1889, of the Seventh Day Baptist congregation in Ephrata, from the early Pietist movement in Germany to the founding of Ephrata and other communities in southeastern Pennsylvania in the 1730s. Written by two members of the Ephrata community.Lamech (1704–1764), also known as Jacob Gaas, was born near Basel, Switzerland. He immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1727 and joined the Ephrata community, where he died in 1764. The Chronicon Ephratense is believed to be based on the diary in which he recounted the history of the community.
Agrippa (1709–1796), also known as Peter Miller, was educated at Heidelberg in Germany prior to joining Conrad Beissel’s community at Ephrata in the 1730s. In addition to editing and translating numerous books produced at Ephrata, he became Beissel’s assistant and later his successor.
J. Max Hark (1849–1930) was a Moravian pastor and translator.
