HISTORY/DESCRIPTION: THE GRUNINGER BIBLE IS THE 10TH GERMAN BIBLE THAT WAS PRINTED BY JOHANN GRUNINGER IN STRASBOURG, GERMANY. IT CONTAINS A NUMBER OF WOODCUTS PAINTED IN FULL COLOR, AS WELL AS DECORATED INITIALS AND RUBRICATION. WHAT MAKES THIS BIBLE UNIQUE IS THAT ITS TWO VOLUME EDITION WAS SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER AND A MORE MANAGEABLE FORMAT THAT THE PREVIOUS FOLIO EDITIONS, WHICH WAS ALSO SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER THAN THE PREVIOUS BIBLE PRINTS.

THIS FACSIMILE IS MADE INTO TWO VOLUMES AND WE PRINT IT IN 32LB SEMI GLOSS PAPER.

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.

NOTE: ALL OF OUR FACSIMILES ARE MADE TO ORDER. PLEASE ALLOW 4-6 WEEKS FOR NOTIFICATION OF SHIPMENT.
