The illumination in our handmade reproduction is based on the Berlin copy of the Gutenberg Bible. One remarkable attribute here is the rich gilding of the initial

The manufacture of our deluxe page
Our deluxe pages from the Gutenberg Bible are exact reproductions of the historical originals. It takes days or weeks to produce them, depending on the richness of the ornamentation, and demands great concentration by the artist – just like in the 15th century.
The paper for our deluxe pages is handmade with a watermark and is printed on historical machines owned by the Gutenberg Museum (Korrex Hannover). As at Gutenberg's workshop, only the text in black is printed, with everything else added by hand. The beginnings of sentences are accentuated in red with a quill or brush as upstrokes, with headings also written in by hand (rubrication). The initials and miniatures are sketched into the empty spaces left by Gutenberg for this purpose and in the margins. The base substance for the gold leaf is then applied and the gold laid on top of this. The pages are illuminated in many layers of ink with fine heightening and shading. Finally, the last line ornaments are added and the gold polished.
Bible original format: ca. 45 x 33 cm
Storage
Our deluxe Bible prints are supplied in a handmade presentation folder (51 x 39 cm) that perfectly protects the gold leaf. An informative brochure in English and German on the Gutenberg Bible and its manufacture is also included.
Our deluxe pages are also available in a dustproof and
airtight frame (57,5-44 cm), which protects the precious gilding with a spacer
strip between the glass and the passe-partout.
Please note: Framing extends the delivery time by one to two
weeks.

Gutenberg Bible II/46: The Book of Isaiah (1.1–6):
»Nemo cum prophetas…«
Isaiah describes the desolate situation in Jerusalem, one of chaos and disease similar to that in the lost city of Sodom. He foretells the downfall of the Assyrian and Jewish nations. He's also the first prophet of Israel to proclaim the coming of the Messiah. The Preface of Jerome that precedes this book in the Gutenberg Bible isn't included in modern-day versions of the Good Book. The illumination in our handmade reproduction is based on the Berlin copy of the Gutenberg Bible. The page heading is girded by a jay on the right and a hoopoe symbolising thanks to God on the left. The initial N of the prologue shows Isaiah with a saw. An initial V denotes the start of the Book of Isaiah as a blue letter. Tendrils of leaves, flowers and fruit grow from both initials. A tiny monkey clambers up the centre vine. The manufacture of our deluxe page

Gutenberg-Bibel II/15v: The Song of Songs – Cantica Canticorum (1,1-2,14) This page in the Gutenberg Bible contains the most charming and perhaps best-known Song of Solomon.

»O«
in
»Osculetur me...«
depicts the two lovers sitting opposite one another. Tendrills fill the borders with flowers, in particular the aquilegia that represents the Trinity, love and sexual power. A nightingale, the symbol of love and desire, perches atop one of the leaves. The manufacture of our deluxe page
