BIBLIA, DAS IST: DIE GANZE GÖTTLICHE HEILIGE SCHRIFFT, ALTEN UND NEUEN TESTAMENTS, NACH DER DEUTSCHEN UEBERSETZKUNG DR. MARTIN LUTHERS. A lovely copy of this highly important German-American bible, notable for being the first bible printed west of the Allegheny Mountains. Goeb emigrated from Germany in 1804, settling in western Pennsylvania and establishing himself as a printer, first in Chambersburg and later in Somerset. Printed in two columns, this bible includes the Old and New Testaments, as well as the Apocrypha. The Preface, Remarks, and Commentaries which accompany some chapters were likely written by Goeb, who spent the years from 1810 to 1813 printing this landmark bible almost entirely by himself, in his cabin in far-off Somerset. A handsome copy, in original condition.
