Between 1884 and the late 1890’s Altemus published six different German language Bibles. Their contents varied, containing some or all of the items noted below. The Bibles are numbered 1G to 6G. These gold gilt initials are at the bottom of the spine (example is below).

The German Henry Altemus Bibles are much scarcer than the Bibles in English.

Bible contents:
1. Old and New Testament
2. Dore Illustrations (and others)
3. Marriage Certificate and Family Registration
4. Revised Version Appended
5. Apocrypha, Concordance, Psalms on Metre
6. Smith’s Dictionary
7. Bible History and Analysis
8. Cyclopedia of the Bible
9. Dictionary of Names

Books 1G and 2G only contain the Old and New Testaments and Apocrypha, Family Register and the Dore Engravings. These Bibles cost $3.25 and $3.75 respectively.

Bibles 3G-6G contain all of the above contents but vary in the quality of the leather covers.
They range in price from $4.50 for Bible 3G to Bible 6G which cost $10.50.

Here is German Bible 6G. The cover is the same as that used for the English Bible B28. (See here)

Note the 6G identification at the base of the spine

These are the family register pages. They are different from the ones found in the English Henry Altemus Bibles.
