The VolksBibel Illustrations

The Volksbibel, 1915 publication

The VOLKSBIBEL 1915 (The People's Bible)
Found in 2018 in Basel, Switzerland

In March 2018 my son Richard who lives and works in Basel Switzerland found this Volksbibel on the "free book" stand in front of a used book store in Basel, Switzerland.  Basel is situated near the border of Switzerland, Germany, and France.

The book is 4 inches thick and 18 inches tall, written in German and contains  35 colored illustrations of the Old and New Testement.  

Cover-Possible translation of the scroll held by Moses:  "Arrive become lobel Jeruselem for your light is coming.  The beauty of the Lord will come upon you."

Isaiah 60:1 RSV "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you."
