[QUOTE="McAdder, post: 9567945, member: 7942"]The pages are from a so called Endter I bible, those were printed between 1656 and 1706 by the Endter family in Nürnberg in 14 editions and high numbers. Its allmost impossible to find out the year of the printing. This bibles had the same number of pages for all those years and the only page with a year was the title page. Whenever they ran out of bibles they printed a new run, its also not uncommon to find different bibles with the same year, if a woodcut broke they swaped it for a similar one etc. At least in German speaking countries those bibles are cheap and easy to find and many incomplete ones have been broken up to sell the woodcuts individually like yours. Decorative value is correct. Endter II bibles where illustrated with copper engravings instead of the woodcuts and where printed between 1710 and 1788. Thridly the Endters printed the so called Weimarer Bibles between 1643 and 1768 which were bigger and better made, but had less but full page illustrations. You can find more information on the website of the WLB, a library with one of the biggest bible collections in the world.
