The presented Pentateuch was printed in 1523 in Wittenberg, in Melchior Lotter’s printing house. It used German Gothic type, includes 6 engraved hand-painted historiated initials, and a full-length hand-painted woodcut. It is possible that the initials and a woodcut for this edition were made by a celebrated German painter and graphics master of the Renaissance Lucas Cranach the Elder, known also for his portraits and biblical paintings who lived and worked in Wittenberg at the time.
