5B, Old and New Testament Bible 1777   

Notes

The German Bible of 1777, often referred to as the "Luther Bible" or "Luther's Bible," holds immense significance in the history of German literature and religious scholarship. Published more than two centuries after Martin Luther's pioneering translation of the Bible into German, this edition stands as a testament to Luther's enduring influence on German culture and language. Its publication marked a milestone in the standardization and dissemination of the German language, as well as in the consolidation of Protestant theology in German-speaking regions. The 1777 edition reflects both linguisti6c refinements and theological interpretations that evolved over the years since Luther's initial translation, making it a pivotal work in the history of German Christianity.
