Mighty Favog Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 My family has a picture of our great, great grabdmother reading a book in her lap. We have the book but we don't know what it says. Any help?? THX!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 The writing looks German. I wonder if it's a bible? Is there anything written on the inside with regards to date? Maybe you could take the writing on the title page, type it into an on-line translator? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codewritinfool Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Something about the "Life And Suffering of Lord (and Saint?) Jesus Christ". I don't recognize the book, but I do recognize the author, "A.K. Emmerich". That'd be Anna Katharina (Catherine) Emmerich (1774-1824). She was a Augustinian nun and wrote several books. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parlophone1 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hard to correctly read the letters. It is definitely German. However, Google translates this: Life and suffering of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ According to the reports of the A.K. Emmerich.

EpicKlipsch Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Yup, German native here. The above translations are correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Indeed. My Deutch is pretty basic and I knew that on sight from Bach and other composers. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
