Reviews
I was elated to own a copy of Taschen's facsimile edition of the 1534 Luther Bible, complete with its colour illustrations. These illustration offer a window into the historical and theological thought of Luther who so stronly influenced their content. Cranach was a master artist and engraver. This book collects all these 117 illustrations together and reproduces most in larger format for greater and more detailed study. This allows Stephen Fussel to comment on each and offer explanatory notes to accompany an extended essay. My only complaint is the binding is a little cheap. However, the print quality is very good and vivid.I hope Taschen publishes many more in this valuable genre.
