HISTORY/DESCRIPTION: GUNTHER ZAINERS 1475 BIBLE IS ONE OF THE FIRST FEW GERMAN BIBLES THAT WERE PRINTED IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY. ZAINER’S PRINTING WAS OF HIGH QUALITY; HE PRODUCED 32 ILLUSTRATED BOOKS AND BROADSIDES. THE 1475 GUNTHER ZAINER BIBLE CONTAINS MULTIPLE COLORFUL ILLUSTRATIONS. IN 1477 ZAINER REPRODUCED ANOTHER BIBLE. THE ORIGINAL BIBLE IS CURRENTLY HELD AT THE WURTTEMBERG STATE LIBRARY IN STUTTGART, GERMANY.

REPRODUCTION DETAILS: OUR HARDCOVER BOOKS ARE MADE WITH REAL WOOD FOR THE INTERIOR OF THE FRONT AND BACK COVERS AS WELL AS THE SPINE. THE LEATHER IS A 4 OZ COWHIDE, FROM A SMALL SUPPLIER IN NORTH CAROLINA. THE LEATHER IS ADHERED TO THE COVERS WITH GLUE AND MOLDED INTO THE SHAPE AT THE HAND OF OUR LOCAL ARTISANS. THE SIGNATURES/PAGES ARE HANDSEWN USING A LIBRARY BINDING METHOD. THE SEWN BOOK IS BOUND WITH A STRONG ADHESIVE GLUE THAT MAKES THE BINDINGS LAST, ESPECIALLY FOR THE LARGER BOOKS. WE ALSO ADD A THICK MULL CLOTH TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BINDING, DRYING IN BETWEEN EACH LAYER, A TRADITIONAL WAY TO MAKE THE BINDING STIFF, STRONG, AND RESILIENT FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.
