AbstractGustav Jahn...was born in 1818 near Sandersleben, Germany.... At the age of 27, in 1845, his poetic rendition of the Song of Solomon was printed in Germany. Gustav's son, Konrad, came to America in the latter half of the eighteenth century....[and] brought with him from Germany several copies of his father's poem which he, in turn, passed on to his sons, Richard and Paul....[this article] is based on Paul Jahn's translation combined with some fascinating historical data taken from a 1983 volume on the Jahn family.
