EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illuminated copy of the 9th edition of the Bible in German, created by Anton Koberger in Nuremberg in 1483. Measuring at 37.5x25.5 cm, this exquisite piece is held within a private collection and represents a significant milestone in the history of printing. The text featured in this remarkable manuscript was derived from Zainer's first German Bible of 1475/6, which served as the foundation for all subsequent high German editions until Luther's renowned translation on February 17th, 1483. The meticulous hand-coloring and woodcut illustrations add depth and beauty to each page, making it a true masterpiece of its time. As we delve into this image, we are transported back to the Northern Renaissance period when religious texts were being translated into vernacular languages for wider accessibility. This particular work stands as a testament to both artistic skill and scholarly dedication. Through this photograph captured by eChristies Images and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, viewers can appreciate not only the historical significance but also marvel at the intricate details that bring these biblical stories to life. It serves as a reminder of how art has always played an integral role in conveying spiritual narratives throughout human history.
