Post by: vibrophonique on January 18, 2013, 05:14:55 AM

I've got a Marthin Luther Bible from 1865. I was wondering if any of you can translate the pages in the picture, in english and what is the value of this book. Thanks in advance!

First is definitely the dedication page.

If it isn't interpreted before I get back home...I will have my mom do it.

Will do.  Ha!  The names are German - thus - they can't be interpreted!  But the printed parts can!  And can best give an English version if the name has one!
