Description
The Book of Psalms, in German translation, with a German commentary. There is no official title page to this book, however there is a note at the bottom of a page which lists only the title and in small letters the words Bunsen Bibelübserstzung. Christian Karl Josias Bunsen (1791–1860) was a Prussian diplomat and scholar. He studied theology at the Univ. of Göttingen. He was a friend of King Frederick William IV and urged him to accept liberal ideas. Bunsen was minister to the papal court at Rome (1824–38) and ambassador to Bern (1839–41) and to London (1842–54), but he was recalled from London because he supported alliance with the Western powers in the Crimean War. A scholar of note, Bunsen wrote on religion, language, literature, history, and law. His works include: Chips from a German workshop (New York, 1871), Outlines of the philosophy of universal history, applied to the language and religion (London, 1854), Christianity and mankind: their beginnings and prospects (London, 1854) and many others.
