I was flipping through one of my library books today, “The Bible and its People” which has a lot of pictures of antique bibles, and one of the pictures caught my eye and I thought I’d google it so I could see if I could find a color picture of it. Well, one search leads to another which leads to another, and then I stumbled on a gold-mine, on Wikipedia, from the Ottheinrich Bible (or “Bibel” in German), a set of illustrations of Revelation, in beautiful full color, very detailed, from the 1500s (ie: old, public domain, not copyright…) exactly what I’d been looking for to go along with the Revelation bible study I’ve been working on. And then I found a site (in German) that is a “digital library” with scans of like every page from that bible (for some reason wikipedia only had the revelation images). Anyway, just for fun, here’s one of the images:
