Corner Bible

The Ingolstadt theologian John Eck brings out a German translation of the New and Old Testament. The Corner Bible has emerged as a Catholic response to the Luther Bible of 1534 and is therefore considered one of the correction Bibles. He does not write in a East Middle Saxon, but in a very Bavarian High German, similar to Maximilian's chancellery. This corner is bordered not only theologically but also linguistically by Martin Luther. This work was commissioned by the Bavarian Duke Wilhelm IV, bears the title of Old and New Testament, used for the text in the hailigen churches, by Johan doctor. Corners, with assiduity, interpreted to hohteutsch. The part of the New Testament is based in the corner on the translation of the humanist Hieronymus Emser in 1527 and is based in total on the Latin Vulgate rather than the Hebrew and Greek original texts as with Luther. Is dedicated to his Bible to the Cardinal and Archbishop of Salzburg, Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg.
