Texts in German.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Facsimile bound in embossed and embossed brown leather, spine with gilt titles, gilt edges with filigree, two leather and gilt bronze clasps, 27.5 x 39.5 cm. 348 pages.<br \/>\nWith commentary by Stefan Strohm (texts in German), paperback, 25.8 x 39.5 cm, 96 pages with black and white and color illustrations.<br \/>\nBoth presented in a leather and cloth slipcase, 30 x 43 x 9 cm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Possibly the most beautiful copperplate engravings ever created adorn the text of this stunning 17th-century edition of the New Testament, printed in German using the elegant Fraktur typeface. It is the work of the famous Matth\u00e4us Merian the Elder, who arguably surpassed even the great Renaissance master Albrecht D\u00fcrer in the art of copperplate engraving. Originally from Switzerland, Merian learned his trade in Zurich and France, and founded a dynasty of printers and engravers in Frankfurt. His 77 luminous color engravings bring the numerous biblical stories to life and are distinguished by their extraordinary artistry, creativity, and precision. They are true small masterpieces of Baroque art and, together with a spectacular cover richly decorated with gold, make this &#8220;Copper Bible&#8221; one of the most coveted prints of the Early Modern Period.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Matth\u00e4us Merian the Elder (1593-1650) was arguably the most famous Swiss engraver and printer. Of patrician origin, he worked in Frankfurt. He served an apprenticeship in Zurich, where he learned the art of copper engraving, and later studied in Strasbourg, Nancy, and Paris. He arrived in Frankfurt in 1616 and married Maria Magdalena de Bry, the daughter of a publisher, a year later. Among his seven children was Matth\u00e4us Merian the Younger (1621\u20131687), who, like his father, also dedicated himself to engraving and portrait painting. After Maria&#8217;s death, he remarried in 1646. He had two children with Johanna Catharina Hein, including Anna Maria Sibylla Merian (1647\u20131717), a pioneer of naturalism and scientifically accurate illustrations. The Merian Bible was published in 1630 by the heirs of Lazarus Zetzner (1551\u20131616), who had founded a prominent printing house in Strasbourg.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The New Testament text, printed in an elegant Gothic typeface, is adorned with 77 beautiful colored copperplate engravings, considered by art historians to be some of the finest ever created. The gilt-edged pages of the codex are encased in a sturdy leather binding with metal clasps. Merian is considered one of the most important exponents of modern graphic arts, made possible by the printing press. His engravings are characterized by a combination of detail, delicacy, and vitality, making this Bible one of the most fascinating examples of 17th-century printed Bibles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This copy is complete and in perfect condition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Free shipping for this item. <span title=\"Cons\u00faltenos cualquier duda, as\u00ed como por cualquier otro facs\u00edmile, obra o art\u00edculo que est\u00e9 buscando.\"><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comprarmejor.es\/en\/contact\/\">Ask us<\/a> <span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">any questions, indicating the article reference.<\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span id=\"result_box\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\"><span title=\"Catedral de Valencia, enriquecida con los comentarios marginales de pu\u00f1o y letra del propio Santo, destacando la maravilla de su caligraf\u00eda g\u00f3tica y los adornos miniados del libro, que durante siglos ha estado celosamente guardado en el Relicario de la Catedral.\"><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"es\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Die Kupferbibel mit den Radierungen Matth\u00e4us Merians des \u00c4lteren &#8211; Neues Testament \u2013 Strasburgt, 1630 (The Copper Bible with the Engravings of Matth\u00e4us Merian, the Old Testament &#8211; New Testament \u2013 Strasbourg (France), 1630).<span class=\"JLqJ4b ChMk0b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"es\" data-phrase-index=\"10\" data-number-of-phrases=\"22\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":103664,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2210,2250],"product_tag":[5133,5822,5760],"class_list":{"0":"post-74071","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-bibliophilia","7":"product_cat-other-facsimiles","8":"product_tag-biblia-en","9":"product_tag-bibliofilia-en","10":"product_tag-aleman-en","11":"description-off","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"sale","16":"taxable","17":"shipping-taxable","18":"purchasable","19":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
