• Ottheinrich's Bible
  Ottheinrich's Bible was faithfully reproduced in a limited facsimile edition of 980 copies in the original format of 53.2 x 37.2 cm. In a laborious process, gold leaf, brushed gold and diverse colour applications of the original were reproduced employing separate printing processes. Out of a total of 78 leaves, 46 are ornate with colourful miniatures. 41 brushed gold initials structure the German text which is written in two columns in a monumental textualis script. To confer the showpiece in Ottheinrich's collections the princely aura it used to have, the Bible was given a binding imitating the most expensive deluxe binding ever made for this high-ranking commissioner.

• Vorauer Volksbibel
  The Vorauer Volksbibel is distinguished by two special features: its 559 sophisticated pen-and-ink drawings coloured with glowing water-colours make it the richest of all surviving History Bibles, and the date it was made is precisely known: an inscription on one of the last folios mentions 31 October 1467 as the day of its completion. The addition of secular and philosophical excurses to the Biblical narrative was a typical feature of History Bible Bibles and made them into universal history books in the Middle Ages: written in a Bavarian-Austrian dialect, the Vorauer Volksbibel not only met the requirements of religious instruction but also served large sectors of the population as the only history book accessible to them.
