The ninth German Bible and the first printed at Nuremberg, one of the
most eminent and esteemed German woodcut-books. There are 110 fine bold
woodcuts, the same as in the famous Cologne-Bible of Quentell each occupying a
third of the page, carefully coloured as issued; the first one, representing the Creation,
is the size of half the page and illuminated with gold. (This leaf is cut rather short
the nice painted floral border being slightly damaged.) Most have xylographic
inscriptions, sometimes in gothic, sometimes in square roman. These woodcuts are the
finest work of the kind which had yet appeared in Germany and were designed pro-
bably under the influence of the Dutch School or Art. Albert Durer is said to
have been animated by these illustrations when drawing his ‘Apocalypse’.
For references to reproductions variously from the Quentell, the Koberger and
the Halberstadt edition, see Murray, German Catalogue, pp. 101 and 813, no. 63.
This is one of the finest of the German Bibles and the only one printed by
Koberger in that language. The translator is said to be Nicolas Syber (see Dib-
din, Bibl. Spencer. IV, p.454). The remarkably fine types used were cut for this book.
Fine copy, some slight damages repaired.
