is OLDEST GERMAN BIBLE
Volume In Minnesota Historical Soci-
ETY. Weighs More Than Fifty
Pounds.

St Paul.-The largest book in the
Minnesota Historical society's library
and one Of the most interesting is an
old German Bible bound In leather
with heavy brass clasps and corners.
1t weighs more than fifty pounds.
From historical standpoint 1t is Of
much interest, as 1t contains portraits
of the reigning Protestant princes of
Germany during the early days of the
Reformation.
There are full-page steel engravings
and while there Is general sameness
in the lines Of the faces, indicating
that the artist was not particularly
skillful In making portraits, the cos
tuning no doubt is historically cor
rect.
The book was published in 1928
from the translations into German Of
the Hebrew and Greek editions Of the
Old and New Testaments.
