The Bible in Pictures: From the Workshop of Lucas Cranach (1534)

I have been enjoying a new book just published titled The Bible in Pictures: From the Workshop of Lucas Cranach (1534). A number of years ago, the publisher, Tachsen, produced a facsimile of the first complete Luther Bible translation, the 1534 edition. What Tachsen did with this book is pull all the illustrations out of the first complete Luther Bible, used a companion volume also published at the time, and printed a complete collection of the illustrations that Cranach and his workship prepared to illustrate the 1534 Luther Bible. It is a handsome, 200 page hardback volume. I picked it up from Amazon. The cover image Amazon uses is the German, not the English edition, but the book is in English.

    I have a copy of the Taschen fascimile of the 1534 Luther Bible. My wife’s family got it for me for my birthday a few years ago. I just wish I could read German. At least I can appreciate it visually. :)
