Chronike von Nath

By Rudolf Yergler. A volume containing odd musical rhythm patterns designed to summon certain star-born monsters from the earth’s core and from other worlds and dimensions. The first edition of 1653 was publicly suppressed. A translation was published by James Sheffield in 1781 as Chronicle of Nath. Although Sheffield modified the text, it was still wild beyond imagination. In modern times, Rambeau found a copy of the English translation in a Spokane bookshop. Frank Baldwyn referred to this copy to aid him in composing the music of the stars. Baldwyn found that the translation was not very clear. A correspondent, Lancaster in Providence, finally admitted that he’d read the original Chronike, which is infinitely more terrible than the translation. After Baldwyn's death, his copy was burned by special court order. [DWR Music (online text) ]
