A GERMAN BIBLE printed in Gothic Script. 1669. 7.75" x 5.5" x 4.25".
Each 'book' illustrated. with woodcuts and each with several scenes
related by alpha/numerical reference to the text. Leather and leather
covered card bound, front board detached, title page intact. In need of
partial or complete rebinding.
Detailed description:
This bible is printed in German Gothic Script in about 8 or 9 point but
also contains a few words on its title page much akin to present day
"Times Roman." Each 'book' is illustrated with one or more woodcuts and
each woodcut depicts several scenes which are related to the text by
randomly written references, that are not set in the horizontal. e.g.
"Buch Elfte, Chron 20, Cap 10."

The many people shown in these illustrations appear in what we would
describe as 'medieval dress.' Buildings too have a European appearance.
There are at least three copiously detailed maps - double page -
illustrating the biblical lands between the Mediterranean, the Red Sea,
the Gulf, the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea and these are presented in
different aspects, i.e. not lying vertically to north and south.

The binding is interesting. The pages are set in about forty tight
signatures in five main groups. Some of the pages' outer margins have
been cut so as to actually cut into the tiny margin notes, this suggests
that the pages were re-cut at the binding stage since I understand that
early books were not always bound immediately after printing due to the
high cost of binding work and indeed, this book could have been rebound
once or twice.
The front board (5" x 7.5") is present but detached. The spine's
flexible leather binding is approximately 92% complete. The book's
external depth is 4.25" cover to cover. The word "BIBLE" is embossed and
inlaid with gold leaf on the spine and 2 or 3 point lines of gold leaf
are laid to each side of the five, quarter inch deep, spinal horizontal
binding bars.

The Old Testament was printed in 1669; the New Testament in 1682 As to
the title page dating, it reads:
Geben in Wittenberg am 21, Augufti bei Jahre Chrifti cI"c" I"c"c
Lx"i"x. Where "c" is a reversed c (even resembling an upside-down e with
a closed 'eye') and "i" is a small I the same height as the c's and x's.
This was a practice of the period in the Low Countries and Germany.

Translation: Given in Wittenberg on 21st August in the year of Christ
1669
The Bible was prepared under the supervision of Abraham Calovius. D.
Prof. Who was born in 1612 and died in 1686. He was a professor at
Königsberg in 1637, a preacher at Danzig in 1643 and a professor at
Wittenberg in 1650. He was a Lutheran controversialist and was married
six times.
