Does it contain the “deuterocanonical books”? (what protestants call the Apocrypha). It would be interesting to see.

Given the age, most likely, yes.

The Deuterocanonical books' disappearance from Protestant Bibles is an early 20th century phenomena.

If it is a Lutheran bible (and in German too, as the photos show), it won't.

Here's an original Geneva Bible for sale on ebay from 1583. (ONLY $15,000!!!) The Geneva Bible translation was one of the first Study Bibles and had extensive marginal notes. The Puritan-written notes which were decidedly anti-Royal so annoyed King James, he had his own note-less translation done in 1611.

Interestingly enough the Pilgrims and Puritans were dedicated to the Geneva Bible, and had the same attitude toward the new King James Version which fundamentalist KJV-only Christians have toward any other translation today (ie. VERY EVIL!) (Considering that King James I was a cowardly homosexual who persecuted Puritans, tis no wonder...)
