This edition preserves the Luther text as compared against the 1545 "Ausgabe letzter Hand" the final Bible issued during Luther's lifetime and belongs to a publishing tradition begun by Perthes in 1842. This family Bible was issued with an integral family chronicle and heliogravure after Carlo Dolci. Contemporary trade records offered the 1905 edition in several grades of binding; this copy survives in an unusually elaborate full-leather gilt binding with brass clasp all edges gilt and contemporary clamshell.
