Pictorial Family Bible - 19th Century

Nelson & Phillips were publishers of "The Pictorial Family Bible" according to the book's title page[1][2]. There is not much information available about Nelson & Phillips, but they were likely a publishing company in the 19th century. Thomas Nelson, a publishing firm that began in Scotland in 1798, is a related company that is still in operation today[3].William Smith was an English theologian and scholar who compiled a Bible dictionary[1][2][3][4]. The dictionary was originally published in three volumes in 1863, and it was later revised and condensed into one compact volume by the Peloubets[2][4]. The dictionary is still available for purchase today, and it is a valuable resource for those who want to study the Bible in depth. Source: Perplexity.aiKeywords: biblex

Das Neue Testament - 1827

I love this old German bible that I bought on eBay recently. The images are a little spooky...a couple of them quite graphic. I would love to add translations to each of the images. Tom Paper 4/14/2022-----------------7/21/24Das Neue Testament from 1827 refers to a German-language edition of the New Testament published in that year. This particular edition is a translation of the Bible's New Testament based on Martin Luther's German translation[1][2].The 1827 edition of Das Neue Testament has been reprinted in various formats, including a leather-bound version. This reprint features leather binding on the spine and corners with golden leaf printing on the spine, maintaining the original text without any changes from the 1827 edition[1].The full title of this work, as translated from German, is "The New Testament of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, According to the German Translation by Dr. Martin Luther"[2]. This indicates that it preserves Luther's influential German translation of the New Testament, which played a significant role in the Protestant Reformation and the development of the modern German language.It's worth noting that editions of Das Neue Testament from this period are considered valuable historical and religious artifacts. For instance, some antiquarian booksellers offer original copies from similar time periods for considerable sums, reflecting their historical and cultural significance[3].While the specific 1827 edition is notable, it's part of a longer tradition of German Bible translations and publications. German scholars continued to study and write about the New Testament throughout the 19th century, as evidenced by works like Bernhard Weiss's 1897 "Lehrbuch der einleitung in das Neue Testament" (Textbook of Introduction to the New Testament)[4].Today, modern German New Testaments continue to be published and distributed, carrying on the tradition of making the text accessible to German-speaking readers[5].Source: Perplexity.ai--Gabrielle Lykeyword: biblex
