1926CNJL743Munich: Bremer Presse 1926-1928 1926. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Simons Anna. One of 365 copies folio size 5 volumes complete in German. An extraordinary publication by the Bremer Press of the "Martin Luther Bible". Translated by Luther directly from the Greek during his enforced sequestration in Wartburg Castle 1521-22 it was first published in 1545 and he continued to edit and refine his translation up to his death the following year. Translating directly from the Greek was a marked departure for the academics of the day who relied on the Latin Vulgate translation and used Latin for their studies with Greek seldom used or even taught. <br/><br/>Luther chose to translate from the Greek into the vernacular German language of the day making the scriptures accessible to everyday people and at the same time providing a vehicle for a more unified German language. The Bremer Press known for its interrelation of scholarship type design and book design has provided a version of the Luther Bible edited by Professor Carl von Kraus 1868-1952 Professor of German Philology at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. n. b. above info from Wiki and Ransom.<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Set of five volumes complete; Volume I: Die Bucher Mose; Volume II: Das Ander Teil des Alten Testaments; Volume III: Das Dritte Teil des Alten Testaments; Volume IV: Die Propheten; and Volume V: Das Neue Testament.
