Abstract

The author relates the history of the Calov Bible that Johann Sebastian Bach had acquired at age 48 (now in the Concordia Seminary Library, St. Louis) and indicates the significance of the numerous marginal annotations Bach inscribed in that Bible. The article is taken from Musik und, Kirche, vol. 39, no. 4 (1969), with the permission of the Bȁrenreiter-Verlag, Karl Vőtterle KG. The translation was provided by Hilton Oswald, editor at Concordia Publishing House.
