FOR THOSE WHO REMAIN

Fire, flood, lightning, wind — destruction of life, property and communities. To console the survivors, these eighteen sermons and two lengthy essays were delivered within a few days of the calamities — vivid imagery of devastated parents, naked children, swollen and rotting cattle and towns burned to the ground. The quartos typically begin with a one sentence summary, and several have schematic synopses in Latin. The two essays (IV and VI) discuss the science of water and give village by village totals of lives lost, buildings destroyed, acres inundated and monetary damages. We are left with suffering and tragedy. No North American library holds any of these books, which are generally printed on thick paper (browned, scattered stains). Three similar works have been removed from the volume.
