Learn about unexpected connections between colonial America and early modern Germany through the story of a 1743 Pennsylvania Bible that made history, was stolen by pirates, and wound up a coveted object at German courts. In this talk, Jennifer Merriman, doctoral candidate in History at William & Mary, will share her research on the important colonial printer Christoph Saur (1695-1758) and will present new findings on the fascinating fate of the first American Bible printed in a European language. 

The Emerging Scholars Series is offered in partnership between the Graduate Center at William & Mary and the Williamsburg Regional Library. The series features W&M graduate students in talks hosted by the WRL intended to bring cutting-edge research to the local community. View the complete 26-27 Series schedule on the William & Mary website.
