Kraussen Bible is the property of a
museum in Vienna.
The needlework, which Rabbi Kline
values the most highly as being fam
lily heirloom nearly four centuries old,
consists of a sacred altar cloth, several
coats of arms designed for wall decora-
lions and a number of pillow slips.
Gift to King Michael Apafl
When the sixteenth century was
young and the house of Pennsylvania
flourished as the most powerful of the
many states now composing the Aus
TRAN Hungarian empire, King Michael
Apaf received as a gift the several arti-
cies of needlework. so pleased was the
monarch that he conferred the title of
nobility not only on the family whose
handiwork pleased him, but on its fore
fathers and its descendants forever af-
ter. The head of the family bore the
imposing name of Stephanu Thoma
Francisco Gregorium d'Michaelin. Gre
gorium was a Gentle, but he became
converted to the teachings of the He
brews on his marriage, his wife having
been a Spanish woman of Jewish de-
scent and having narrowly escaped the
iuquisition while living in the unhappy
Castilian country. She was of the great
Jewish family Abarbaned, mention of
which Is made in the history of the
Spanish inqusition days. Rabbi Kline
Is a direct descendant Of this woman.
OF the needlework the most imposing
piece is a large altar cloth, before
which the princes of Pennsylvania wor-
SHIPPED through centuries. 1t is art

and white, on home weaVed linen.

little band of patriots, one of his last
acts was to confer the little package
containing the needlework, the charter
of nobility and the priceless Bible on
JOSEF Klein, the grandfather of
Samuel ]. Kline.
Hidden in Mountains
While Kossuth was making his way
to New York this Josef Klein, de-
scendant of the original Gregorium
d'Michaelson who had presented the
needlework to King Michael Apafi
shaved his beard, discarded his hair
and took to the rugged Pennsylvania
Alps there to live for years. subsist-
ing on the scanty sustenance of a
swineherd. When the Emperor Franz
Josef, still occupying the Austrian
throne, issued the general amnesty
act, the needlework, charter and Bible
were recovered from their hiding place
and soon fell into the hands of Rabbi
Kline.
Too valuable and sacred to be kept
in his home at 807 Alpine street, Rabbi
Kline, nevertheless. often takes the
ancient copper-engraved Bible, the
heavy parchment charter of nobility
and the beautiful and rare piece of
woven cloth from the safety deposit
vault in which they are kept and
shows them with pardonable pride to
his two little children, telling them Of
the past glories of the family and of
the proud and noble monarchs through
whose hands the heirlooms have
passed.
Until few months ago rabbi of the
Jewish temple at Oklahoma City, on
account of his wifes delicate health
Rabbi Kline has been impelled to
give up his pulpit and to seek the
balmy air of Southern California.
Tho'v-h not overly endowed with this
worlds goods, the rabbi declares that
nothing could induce him to part with
one piece of the needlework or with
one page of the rare old Bible.

The general effect is that of four i'm
mense candelabra, the bases of which
combine to form the Cross. For this
piece of work Rabbi Klein was offered
ESQ. or nearly $4,000, by an English
woman.
Coat Of Arms in Purple
Brilliant and striking is the effect of
the draperies, which were used as mu-
raj decorations by the kings of Tran
sylvanla. The coat of orms of the royal
house is worked in bold, startling relief
In pure purple wool on pieces of heavy
white linen. When the house of Tran
sylvania reigned supreme in its own
particular niche of Europe the throne
room in whichever palace the kings
cared to honor with their presence
was always draped with the purple de-
signs.
For two centuries the ladies of the
Transylvanian court and the princesses
and queens of the reigning house rested
their dainty heads on the pillow slips

Gus boudoirs of the sixteenth and sew

and Hungarian and Austrian princes

splendid establishments. the brilliant
red and purple wool woven pillow COW
ers were considered the rarest of the
costly and semi barbaric furnishings
on which the Transylvanians prided
themselves.
Through the religious turmoil and
bloody wars of three centuries the
sacred altar cloth, the proud coats of
arms and the dainty pillow slips were
handed down from prince to prince,
from king to king. until, in the line of
the Hungarian dynasty. they became
the property of Louis j. Kossuth.

Hot Springs, Ark.
Bible Copper Engraved
The Bible, though having the least
romantic history of the valued heir
looms of Rabbi Kline, is the most val
liable from a commercial standpoint.
Every one of the pages, and there are
more than 200, about by ii inches in
size, is copper engraved on thick white
vellum. Each page is valued at more
than $500, and for one of the leaves,
that bearing an engraving of the SYM
bols of the apostles, the archbishop of
Arkansas offered Rabbi Kline $500.
The title page of the sacred volume,
which is written in German. with many
Latin phrases, bears testimonial TO the
fact that each page was drawn and
engraved by the great Kraussen of
Augsburg one of the most gifted of
the early engravers and artists. Each
page bears two pictures, between
which are several verses of the Bible.
So fine is the writing the entire New
and Old Testament is contained in the
book. The volume was completed in
1905 There are now but three issues
of the priceless edition in existence,
