Original incunabula leaf from the Bible in Latin (Biblia Latina) printed by Anton Koberger of Nuremberg in 1487. Reference: Hain 3167, & Darlow and Moule #6085 (note). (320 x 225 mm – 12 x 8 5/8’’)
This early leaf consists of text printed in gothic letter in two columns. The central text block contains text from Galatians 5:8 – 6:82 Persuasio…” This persuasion is not from him that calleth you. A little leaven corrupteth the whole lump. I have confidence in you in the Lord: that you will not be of another mind: but he that troubleth you, shall bear the judgment, whosoever he be…For all the law is fulfilled in one word: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself….Bear ye one another’s burdens; and so you shall fulfill the law of Christ…For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap…).
The central text is surrounded by Nicolaus de Lyra’s famous commentary. “This work, which was used by Luther, and influenced some of his writings” was first published with the biblical text just six years earlier, in 1481.
