Martin Luther's Bible, first printed in 1534, was not only a
milestone for the printing press, but also a momentous event in
world history. A UNESCO world heritage masterpiece, Luther's
translation from Hebrew and ancient Greek into German made the
Bible accessible to laypeople and gave printed reference to a whole
new branch of Christian faith: Protestantism. In this meticulous
two-volume reprint, TASCHEN presents a complete facsimile of the
Luther Bible. Based on a precious copy of the original and printed
in color, it reveals the multilayered splendor of this publication,
showcasing the meticulous script, elaborate initials, and exquisite
color woodcuts from the workshop of Lucas Cranach. In an
accompanying booklet, Stephan Fussel, director of the Institute for
Book Sciences at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, adds
his expertise to the publication with detailed descriptions of the
illustrations, as well as an introduction exploring Luther's life
and the seismic significance of his bible.
