Greed-Janota 826. – Later edition of the first 1698 published picture Bible of the Augsburg copper engraver and publisher Johann Ulrich Krauß (1655-1719). "His historical picture Bible was widely distributed with the plates engraved by Johann Steislinger (1668-1702) after drawings. Kraus did not only use the original material he liked after French stints of the late 17th century. In the 19th century, the illustrations of biblical themes were extended to include emblematic depictions, which had a special effect on the design of the postillas he had published, but also on the furnishing of the large work, which was published for the first time in 1694 and has been published several times, about the one that was designed like a picture Bible" (Gier-Janota 826f.). flying first leaf is missing.
