Item Details
Description
[BOOK ILLUSTRATION -- WOODCUT]. -- [BIBLE, in German. Nuremberg: Anton Koberger, 17 February 1483.]

Folio (381 x 261 mm). 4 leaves of the Koberger Bible, with 5 woodcut illustrations with hand-coloring, comprising: ff. XLVIII, CXLVI, CLXII, CCXXXXV. Loose in board portfolios.  

The only Bible in German printed by Koberger. The woodcuts, attributed to the Master of Cologne Bibles, were first used in Heinrich Quentell's two Low German Bibles of ca 1478. The cuts became the prototype for later German Bible illustration. The woodcuts here represent: The golden calf; David and Bathsheba; Solomon and the Queen of Saba; and Tobias healing his blind father.
