[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] German Bible

[Delores Stevens]

I have recently come into possession of my great grandfather's Bible.  It is 
in German and so I needed an older relative to translate for me.  She 
informed me that it is the Bible, Martin Luther version and starts with the 
Book of Moses.  It was printed in 1898.

Could anyone tell me the significance about being a Martin Luther version 
and starting with the Book of Moses?

Thank you
Delores
