The 'Neu-eingerichtetes Gesang-Buch' (1762) is a massive German hymnal of over 700 pages printed by Christopher Saur for the Schwenkfelder community. While scholarly works like Allen Anders Seipt's 'Schwenkfelder Hymnology' (1909) and the 'Corpus Schwenkfeldianorum' provide translations of the preface and selected hymns, no complete, cover-to-cover English translation of the entire 1762 edition has been published.
