Dawson + Monde - In Low German (resembling Dutch) with the exception of the
Psalter which according to Walther, exhibita the dialect of Cologne
Among the sources of this Bible may be mentioned the Dutch
'Bible' of 1477 + the 5th high German Bible. The Song of
Solomon is not translated, but is given in Latin. The notes
are taken from N. de Lyrs. No title page, foliation or signatures.
- Eventhought the Introduction of the Cologne Bibles
indicates that glosses appear in the text, introduced by asteriska,
much incorporation of flosses is anything but consistent +
thorough -going in these bibles. It should be added that
for more excerpts from Nicholas of Lyra are interspersed with
the text of the Libeck Rilde than is the use with the
earlier Cologne editions.
-Brothers of the Common Life behing the publication of the Cologne Bibles
Lubeck Rible uses "worde" The most convientent label for differentiation has been the conjunction
"and": "unde" in Low Saxon + "ende" in West Low German.
The Low Saxon is sometimes referred to as "East Westphalian" +
teh West Low German is sometimes referred to "Low Rhenish"
"West - Westphalian" + Hollandish - Colognish."
The matter of the sequence in which those 2 ed. appeared
has occasional considerable diversity of opinion - Low Sazon
version probably is the earlier one.
-the 1st of these has 113 woodcuts; the 2nd (dirlect of Holland +
the lower Rhine) the some 113 plus ten others.
125 cuts (94 O.T. - 31 N.T.)
Bartholomaues de Unkel - actice in Cologne from Dec 1475-1484.
Since his type material later came into the possession of Quentell, many
books printing by Quentell such as the Cologne Bibles, were
formerly attributed to B. de Unkel.
+taken together, the Cologne + Koberger (1483) Bibles form
a trio aimed at a wide German market. (the 1st
Bible illust. to span 2 columns) After their appearance
in these Bibles the woodcuts were printed only one
other time, in Halberstad in 1522.
