The famous Somerset German Bible of 1813, is the first Bible published west of the Allegheny Mountains. Charles Friedrich Goeb was a Mennonite minister, as well as a master printer in Western Pennsylvania. He came to Somerset, PA in 1809. Printing the bible was an enomous undertaking, especially in the wilderness that was then Somerset. It involved: the setting of millions of pieces of type; carving the titlepage and ornament blocks; purchasing, storing, and printing at least 50,000 large full sheets of paper; binding probably 500 copies. In addition, he apparently also wrote: the Preface, the Remarks prefixed to each chapter of the Five Books of Moses, the Commentary to the Song of Solomon and St. John's Revelations. Goeb calls this the 'Die Erste Auflage (First Edition) on both the General and New Testament title pages. He may have been referring to the remarks that he added. GLP/USA 2004; Studer.
