Ex M.Cummings, UK, 1990s.
Johannes Grüninger (1455-1533) was a prolific German printer active from 1482 to 1533 who printed up to 80 books a year in Latin and in German, as well as wall-maps. His bible was issued in two volumes, which allowed it be produced on smaller pages than for most standard editions.
