Why This Bible Is a Treasure

The 1483 Koberger Bible was a landmark achievement in early printing — rich with symbolism, artistry, and theological significance.  it is t he First Illustrated German Bible Before Luther. Anton Koberger’s workshop set the standard for quality and craftsmanship, producing a Bible that was as much a work of art as a sacred text.

This facsimile preserves that legacy, making it accessible to modern collectors without sacrificing the historic beauty and detail of the original.
