First published in 1641 under the authorization of Duke Kurfürst Ernst I of Saxe-Gotha. This is the so-called Kurfürstenbibel or Elector Bible because some of the engravings show various Dukes from the 16th and 17th centuries. At the realization of this major project prominent Lutheran theologians such as Johann Gerhard Solomon Glassius and Johann Michael Dilherr among others contributed to the work. This Bible was published with a glossary and added in-text explanations of Luthers original translation for the enlightenment of ordinary people. For nearly two centuries from 1613 to 1792 the successful family of Endter of Nuremberg printed the text of Luthers Bible. Specifically the Kurfürstenbibel was produced from 1641 to 1758 in fourteen editions. Today the large-format folio expenditures are amongst the most commonly encountered family Bibles from the 17th but especially the 18th century. The Gotha courts significant pool of sources as well as favor of the market place in Nuremberg gave rise to such an important project. Large-format and heavyweight in every sense of the word it remains a visually stunning work with its numerous portraits of princes in woodcuts and engravings this Elector Bible treated both theological aspects as well as those of the courtly self-understanding.

The colonial powers had granted monopolies for Bible printing to "home" publishers and their products were priced sufficiently low to discourage illegal printing by colonial printers which left it to German-Americans a people here as independent settlers not "colonists" to first print a Bible of their own. Christopher Saur or Sower as he Englished it was something of a renaissance man university educated and a physician and he used his connections in Germany to obtain the gift of the fraktur type used in this Bible. It was printed in an edition of 1200 copies and cost 18 shillings. Another complete American Bible did not follow until Saur's son also Christopher published a further edition in 1763.<br>Â Â Â Â Arndt lists three states for this edition of which this appears to be C based on the absence of a two-leaf addendum giving a short history of Bible translation that a buyer could choose to have bound in or not. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â Evans 512728; Sabin 5191; Arndt The First Century of German Language Printing in the United States of America 47C; Hildeburn 804; Rumball-Petre Rare Bibles 159; Darlow & Moule 4240; O'Callaghan 22; Wright Early Bibles of America 2444.

It was owned by a member of an American scholarly and clerical family that had not one but two generations of association with the city of Halle which was a mecca and fount of the Pietism that drove so much of the early German religious migration to America.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Signature of G. Henry Muhlenberg dated 1784 on the front free endpaper; later ownership signature of Jacob Strein 1814 on same. Gotthilf Heinrich Ernst Muhlenberg 17531815 was the son of Heinrich Melchior Muhlenberg one of the founders of the German Lutheran church in the U.S. and a pastor of Pietist background whose first post after completing his studies was a teaching position at the Francke Foundation's Historic Orphanage of which the Waysenhaus that printed this volume was the working press. His son born in Trappe PA and recorded above as owner of this book was sent to be educated in Halle starting in 1763 entering the University in 1769. After his return to Pennsylvania in 1770 he was ordained a Lutheran minister and later received a Doctor of Divinity degree from Princeton University while becoming known as a significant American botanist; in 1787 he was made the first president of Franklin College now Franklin & Marshall College.

Frontis. 32 ff. 1181 1 pp. 11 -1 ff.; 1 plt. illus. <br><br>Aside from its importance in the religious tradition Luther's translation of the Bible is probably the most important single text for the formation of Modern German. Like other Luther Bibles this one contains his prefaces to the books of the Bible including his theologically significant Preface to the Epistle to the Romans. It is also supplemented by the Augsburg Confession of which sadly the last leaf is absent here.<br>Â Â Â Â In this printing a fine engraved title-page shows an angel delivering Luther's translation of the Old Testament to a Church still in bondage to the requirements of the old Law. A similar sectional title-page depicting God the Father Jesus Christ and allegorical figures of the sacraments of Baptism and Communion comes before the New Testament. Six special pairs of leaves bound in at various places each offer a first page containing an engraving of biblical figures and three following pages containing their biographies. A woodcut vignette of the unusual triple arms of the city of Nürnberg appears on the title-page; a number of chapters are adorned at head with one-third page woodcut illustrations set in neat borders; and the books typically open with typographically appealing two-column "headers." The text is in a handsome and relatively legible fraktur.<br>Â Â Â Â The size decoration and overall composition of the volume along with its faults especially the manner in which which pages are worn suggest a history as a lectern Bible in a Lutheran Church.<br>Â Â Â Â Binding: This copy is bound in ornately blind-tooled and -stamped alum-tawed pigskin over wooden boards the front cover with three of its original etched corner bosses and with its two etched clasp-catches. Bosses of back cover no longer present remnants of clasps. A martial portrait is centered on each cover; unfortunately these are now so worn that they are no longer identifiable. Perhaps they belong to the electors of Saxony who safeguarded the Lutheran faith in its infancy.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Ownerhship signature of Ludwig Buehl Philadelphia 1852. Binding as above. Covers abraded and worn some scraping to back upper board leather peeling back from fore-edge of front cover and opening at ends of joints most notably at bottom of front one. Front free endpaper with inked ownership note in German dated Philadelphia 1852. Frontispiece with a fore-edge chip not into image and tears in from bottom margin and at gutter with small loss to plate area at bottom inner corner. A number of pages with tears extending into text a few places with chips to bottom outer corners with loss of words but not of sense. Scattered foxing with occasional darker small stains.

"black letter" was the first complete Bible printed in "Lancaster Penn" and the=> first folio German Bible printed in America: It was an impressive production large in size set on good paper and the type pleasantly laid out and neatly impressed in double-column format. The frontispiece engraved by J. Henry and showing Moses with the tables of the law is appealing.<br>Â Â Â Â In the preliminaries the double-column text includes a brief biography of Luther and an essay by the famous Pietist August Herman Franke 16631727 advising how to read Scripture. The printer was only 19 years old when he undertook this massive project and despite the numerous subscribers listed on five preliminary pages in four-cloumn format he was nearly bankrupted by the enterprise.<br>Â Â Â Â In the upper outer corner of the front pastedown is the large printed binder's label of "Henrich Miller buchbinder in der Ost Dranien Strasse gegeneuber der Lancaster. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â O'Callaghan 146; Shaw & Shoemaker 47206; Arndt & Eck German Language Printing in the U.S. 2363.
