Only a few of these book copies have survived. A copy can be found in the Bavarian State Library. It comprises 169 pages with twenty chapters and pictures. The Oberkirch artist Manuela Bijanfar was commissioned by the Wine and Local History Museum in Durbach to paint and fire the six motifs above onto individual panes of glass using old glass painting techniques. These are combined with leaded glass to form a series of pictures.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
