Several smaller repairs and marginal inforcements. A few leaves with loss of text. A few leaves presumably supplied from another copy. Scattered damp stains. Several name from previous owners (presumably priests). Complete.
The first Danish folio Bible: "The editio princeps of the Bible in Danish",very rarely seen complete.
"This first translation of the entire Bible stands as a monument of the Danish Reformation, and the influence it excercised, both at the time and subsequently, cannot be overemphasized. The translation was commanded by King ChristianIII, and nothing was spared in order to make it as perfect as possible.The best danish theologians worked on the translation,but it was not until 1548 that the work had progresses so far that a printing could be implemented.... A German printer, Ludwig Dietz from Rostock, was therefore summoned. Already in 1534 he had printed a complete Bible in Low german, and in 1548 he came to Copenhagen with his printing material... It is copies from the Lübeck 1534 edition of Luther's German Bible, and is illustrated withmany woodcuts by Erhard Altdorffer." (Thesaurus). - The copy has some defects, leaves remargined, recornered, marginal losses, textual repairs, some leaves shaved etc..
