FROM ONE OF 7 KNOWN EXAMPLES OF THIS BIBLE Original LUTHER LOW GERMAN Bible LEAF Leaf comes from: This superb leaf comes from: BIBLIA Das ist: Die gantze Heilige Schrifft: Deudsch. Mart. Luth(er (Übers.)... Wittenberg, H.Lufft. 1545. Leaf: ca. 30.5 x 18.5 cms With fine illuminated woodcut initial. According to the TURPIN LIBRARY in DALLAS, there are only seven known copies of this bible in the world. This superb leaf is from the 1545 Bible in Low German, Luther\'s final revision of the High German Bible that he first published in 1534. It is one of only six known copies in the world!!! Although Luther wrote voluminously, his Bible translation stands as his greatest and most influential achievement. Eighteen German translations had appeared earlier, but his superb translation gained instant popularity and has been kept in print down to the present day. Its vocabulary and style helped to stabilize the German language in the sixteen century. \"Luther gave Scripture a completely new status in theological thought and Church practice—asserting the sole authority of Scripture (sola scriptura) and the ability of the laity to read the Bible and distinguish between revealed truth and the distorted practice of the \'Ancient Church\'—and provided a new German version of the Bible that drew on the original texts with innovative freshness, thus ensuring that his translation enjoyed unprecedented fame.\" (Stephan Füssel, 2003). FINE INITIAL and COLORING. VERY DECORATIVE! Condition: Leaf stained and unevenly cut. Bittle with a number of small holes. Please view images carefully.

About Me
After owning retail bookshops in Lucerne and Interlaken in Switzerland, as well as a online sale business, I am delighted to be back in the United Kingdom.
Having studied at Oxford University in the early 1980s I was lucky enough to learn about the rare book trade by scuttling around the markets and sale houses of London at a time when it was still quite possible to discover \"that find\". Similarly I was able to hone my specialist interests in early photography, the history of science and Helvetica, something that I hope is still reflected in the items I offer.
The aim is to offer the rare, interesting, unusual, beautiful and strange. So at the very least we hope your visit to the site to be a rewarding and enlightening experience!
