Contains the fifth edition of Des Jüdischen Thalmuds fürnehmster Inhalt und Widerlegung (first published in 1607) by Jewish convert to Christianity Christian Gerson (1569-1622), the first edition of Johann Jacob Zimmermann's Muthmassliche Zeit-Bestimmung, published under the pseudonym Ambrosius Sehmann von Caminiez, and a later edition of Nothwendige und gründliche Beantwortung (first published in 1640) by Lutheran theologian Nikolaus Hunnius (1585-1643).
"Johann Jacob Zimmermann (1644-1693) was a German nonconformist Theologian, Millenarian, mathematician, and astronomer...In his Muthmassliche Zeit-Bestimmung, Zimmermann set out his belief that the apocalypse would occur on the 'edge of the wilderness' at the end of the autumn of 1694. His work centered on an elaborate textual and numerological interpretation of the biblical Book of Revelations, especially chapter XII. Zimmermann planned to lead his followers to North America to build a 'Society of the Woman in the Wilderness' to greet the dawn of this new world. His group, termed Rosicrucians, were to number 40, and were to lead a largely solitary life practicing Astrology, Astronomy, Geomancy and a variety of arcane mathematical and magical forms of divination. Zimmermann began negotiations with Pennsylvania Governor William Penn to obtain land for his settlement. Unfortunately, Zimmerman died as the group of eleven families were preparing to travel from Rotterdam. His disciple Johannes Kelpius was elected to take Zimmermann's title of magister, leading 'the Hamburg Group' (including Zimmermann's widow) to an area near Wissahickon Creek, Pennsylvania. Here they established a religious community which, while still famed in local legend, dissolved shortly after Kelpius' death in the early eighteenth century" (Wikipedia).
