Gutes Exemplar; der Umschlag stw. berieben und mit kl. Läsuren (ein größerer Einriß). - ... die Zahl aller zu Lebzeiten des Reformators erschienenen Bibeln und Bibelteile wird auf eine halbe Million geschätzt. Der Theologieprofessor Martin Luther war der meist gelesene deutsche Autor des 16. Jahrhunderts, die Reformationsbibel das markanteste Druckwerk jener Zeit. Das Bildwerk von Professor D. Dr. Hans Volz macht die hochinteressante Editionsgeschichte der Lutherbibel in 416 Abbildungen (davon 10 farbigen) für einen breiten Leserkreis zugänglich. Das einführende Kapitel von Professor Dr. Friedrich Wilhelm Kantzenbach umreißt die überragende Bedeutung des Theologen und Sprachschöpfers Luther sowie die Wirkungsgeschichte seiner Bibelübersetzung bis in die Gegenwart. Danach werden in zehn Kapiteln die Vorgeschichte der Reformationsbibel, ihre Vorbereitung, die benutzten Hilfsmittel, der große Kreis der theologischen und anderen wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeiter Luthers, die vielen Verleger und Drucker in Wittenberg, die der Reformator beschäftigte, aber auch die Künstler von Cranach bis Brosamer behandelt, schließlich die Verbreitung und Wirkung der deutschen Bibel, deren hoher sprachlicher Rang sie über ihre religiöse Bedeutung hinaus zu einem allgemeinen Kulturgut hat werden lassen. Zeittafel, Literaturverzeichnis, Personen- und Sachregister erschließen das reichhaltige Material, das in dieser Fülle hier zum erstenmal dargeboten wird. … (Verlagstext) // INHALT : Deutsche Bibeln im Spätmittelalter --- Auf dem Wege zu einer neuen Bibelübersetzung --- Vorstadien und Voraussetzungen --- Vorbereitung --- Die Stätten der Übersetzung --- Dokumente und Bücher aus Luthers Besitz --- Erasmus von Rotterdam --- Bericht von Johannes Keßler über seine Reise nach Wittenberg --- Die Mitarbeiter Luthers --- Philipp Melanchthon --- Johannes Bugenhagen --- Caspar Cruciger --- Justus Jonas --- Georg Spalatin --- Matthäus Aurogallus --- Georg Rörer --- Die Verleger und Drucker in Wittenberg --- Johann Rhau-Grunenberg --- Lucas Cranach der Ältere --- Kaufvertrag zwischen Christian Döring und den Verlegern Goltz(e)-Vogel-Schramm --- Moritz Goltz(e) --- Christian Döring --- Christoph Schramm --- Bartholomäus Vogel --- Conrad Rühel --- Melchior Lotter der Ältere --- Melchior Lotter der Jüngere --- Hans Lufft --- Christoph Walther --- Georg Rhau --- Johann Krafft der Ältere --- Die Bibel in Einzelausgaben Die Gesamtausgaben Verbreitung und Wirkung --- Die auswärtigen Nachdrucke der Lutherbibel --- Basel --- Zürich --- Augsburg --- Nürnberg --- Mainz --- Worms --- Straßburg --- Die niederdeutschen Bibelausgaben --- Die Lutherbibel in fremden Sprachen --- Zeittafel --- Literaturverzeichnis --- Personen- und Sachregister.

ill., br. Di Coretta, Martin Luther King disse: «Il mio orgoglio maschile mi suggerirebbe di dire che ho plasmato la coscienza politica di mia moglie, ma non è così». Appena qualche giorno dal suo assassinio, Corett Scott King guiderà la marcia a nome dei lavoratori del servizio sanitario a Memphis, sostituendo il marito e, nello stesso mese, terrà il suo discorso alla manifestazione contro la guerra in Vietnam a New York, fino a diventare una delle più influenti leader afro-americane per i diritti civili. Oltre a proseguire la lotta condotta a fianco del marito, Coretta fa confluire in questo libro il pensiero che li spinse a condurre instancabili battaglie contro la segregazione razziale e a favore della pace nel mondo. Un'opera che rispecchia quella filosofia della non violenza condivisa con Martin Luther King e che l'ha elevata a guida nazionale per gli afro-americani e a icona del pacifismo.
