Biblia, das ist: Die ganze Heilige Schrift des Alten und Neuen Testaments, nach der deutschen Uebersetzung D. Martin Luther
Date Published: Circa 1830
Description: German 4to Bible, published by Philadelphia: Kimber and Sharpless. 4to (28.5 cm, 11.125"), originally published with Frontis., 975 pp.; 39 plts.; [2] ff. “Familien=Register” inserted between pp. 754 & [755]. Plates have been removed, and Family Register is disbound but present inside front cover. Kimber and Sharpless issued a number of German Bibles between 1827 and 1851. Only three have 975 pages: this undated edition, one edition dated 1830, and another dated 1833. This Bible, belonging to the Kaufman family whose records are penned in the registry, is printed in fraktur, and had a total of 40 plates. (Update: a Kaufman family representative indicates the plates were removed for display in the family farmhouse in Missouri.) Binding is leather, blackened at the top edge, apparently from long-term storage on the hearth or mantle of a fireplace.
