The Unitas Fratrum

What it is

Why it lasted

The founding of the Unity of the Brethren, the oldest continuously existing Protestant body, which survives today as the Moravian Church.

Where to read it

This work is in the public domain and can be read in full, free, at the archives below. The Library catalogues it; it does not host the text.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
