Beta Book

The
ancestors had tested these effects and had added very many
marginal notes to the volume, telling about the results of these
tests. Later, this book became a source of the purest and most
natural pleasure for me, and I may well say that father
excellently supported me in this.
Another one of these books was a collection of biblical woodcuts,
probably from the earliest time of the xylographic art. I own it,
just like the Herbal Book, up to this day. It contains very many,
quite excellent pictures; some are unfortunately missing. The
first one is Moses and the last one the beast from the eleventh
chapter of the Revelation of John. The title page has been lost.
Therefore, I do not know who the author is or in what year this
volume was printed. Grandmother used this book as an aid when
telling us the biblical stories. We immensely enjoyed every one
of these tales, and this brings me to most outstanding quality,
grandmother possessed for us children, this was her incomparable
gift for story-telling.
