"The Luther Bible (German: Lutherbibel) is a German language Bible translation from Hebrew and ancient Greek by Martin Luther. The New Testament was first published in 1522 and the complete Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments with Apocrypha, in 1534. It was the first full translation of the Bible into German based mainly on the original Hebrew and Greek texts and not the Latin Vulgate translation.
The project absorbed Luther´s later years. Thanks to the then recently invented printing press, the result was widely disseminated and contributed significantly to the development of today´s modern High German language." - (en.wikipedia.org 01.03.2020)
