 [buy](mailto:mail@juligudehus.net?subject=Order%20by%20Genesis,%20Patmos%20edition&body=I%20would%20like%20to%20order%201%20/%202%20/%205%20/%2010%20/%20?%20%E2%80%A6%20copies%20of%20Genesis,%20Patmos%20edition.%20Please%20send%20them%20together%20with%20the%20invoice%20to%20the%20following%20address:)  In 2016 Burkhard Menke had the idea to publish [Juli](https://tuqtuli.com/who-initiated-tuqtuli)​’s »[Genesis](https://www.juligudehus.net/en/genesis)« at Patmos. 2017 would be it’s 25th anniversary, and what is more, this coincided with the year of Luther’s 500st birthday. Juli was delighted by this opportune idea and agreed immediately.

During one of their first discussions, Burkhard told Juli that the so-called »Einheitsübersetzung« (unitary translation) of the Bible had recently been carefully adapted to better suit modern audiences. He asked whether Juli could imagine similarly revising her »Genesis«? He sent her the new unitary translation text and she was thunderstruck! It hadn’t been at all carefully adapted. Everything was different now! Why? It turned out this was the catholic Bible translation, and Juli had used the protestant one. She did not even know that several different translations existed. She had assumed that the German-speaking world only uses Luther’s translation.

Juli solved the task by integrating the novelties of the revised 2016 edition of Luther’s translation into her already partly-shortened version. This entailed further deliberations on alterations. Which signs occured after 1992 and would be good to include in the new version? From a design perspective, Juli definitely had her plate full!

Just as you can never step in the same river twice, you make different decisions from one day to the next as your mood and thoughts are constantly in flux. Especially over a period of 25 years! It is not at all easy to stand by the creative decisions made by a 25-year-younger version of oneself! In the end, Juli couldn’t resist the temptation of re-doing the whole thing.

The older and newer versions are now worlds apart. You can expect fine old wine in brand new bottles!

 

»Gudehus’ depiction in single images can be opposed to Michelangelo’s fresco »The Creation of Adam«, with the famous touch of God’s finger.
