Old Bible tale of a German printer error
Fragmented historical column recounts a 1580 quarrel over a Bible translation in Wolfenbüttel. A wife allegedly altered a line changing master to fool, the printer faced arrest, the couple’s fate noted, and a single copy preserved in the library. Also mentions sacred Hindu thread customs and Parsees.
