The binding on this Luther bible is possibly North German, the wonderful block-printed endpapers perhaps, too (cf. Haemmerle, p. 146; also Heijbroek & Greven, Sierpapier, p. 74, for another similar paper; both c.1770). The design is reminiscent of certain French papiers dominotés, but the execution is different: a French paper would be block-printed in only one outline colour then stencilled, whereas the present paper has been printed in larger swathes of colour, red and blue, before (I think) some final stencilling in yellow.
