Laurentius David Bollhagen (1683 - 1738) was a Protestant theologian and Pomeranian General Superintendent. His current hymnal contained "new songs from Dr. Martin Luther" and other Christian hymns. The DJ was probably one of the last examples of plain German jackets, as German publishers in the late 1800s, unlike their British counterparts, would begin employing cartoonists and artists to decorate their paper covers. Very good .
