Gutenberg-Bibel I/293, Psalm 1–4: »Beatus vir qui non abiit in consilio impiorum...«
The first volume of the Gutenberg Bible culminates in the »Liber ymnorium« or psalter. The illumination in our deluxe version is based on the Berlin copy of the Gutenberg Bible. A splendid initial »B« denotes the start of the first psalm: »Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked«. As in the original, the marginal decoration with foliage, gold inclusions and gold drops merges at the bottom into a large double volute with columbine and large fruit, enlivened by a bird, a dragonfly and a peacock.

These high-quality prints are produced as a handpress print in three colours on the Korrex Hannover on handmade paper bearing the Gutenberg Museum watermark. Finely embossed gold embellishments are added to the tempera ink colouring using a skill very few artists still master. A base material is applied to the paper layer by layer in an elaborate and time-consuming process to form a platform for the 22-carat gold leaf. This raises the ornaments from the surface of the paper to perfectly display the elegant shimmer of real gold. - Deluxe (Berlin Bible)
