Biographical History
The Ephrata Cloister, near Lancaster, Pa., was a religious community of German Seventh Day Baptists founded by Johann Conrad Beissel in 1728. Under Beissel's guidance, Ephrata became known for its mystical music, hymn writings, and manuscript illuminations. Two sisters, Anastasia and Iphigenia, were the principal ornamental writers; the artists of the illuminations are unknown. There were three major collections of hymns produced at Ephrata: Zionitischer Weyrauch's Hügel, Turtel Taube, and Paradisisches Wunderspiel.
