I have the German-Latin-English Triglotta (Dau), Tappert (red cover), Kolbe (blue cover), and Concordia Reader’s Edition. Additionally, there is Jacob’s edition. They’re all great. Kolbe is a “critical edition” and is widely considered the standard academic reference for scholarly papers in seminary; but Concordia Publishing House now uses the Concordia Reader’s Edition in all its publications. I prefer the Reader’s Edition for personal study and Kolbe for official writing.
I have been away from the church for some time..taught during the time,from child to a man.principles of the Lutheran church..the ALca,the Miss.syn. Wis syn.then came ELca..job security..blending ,shaping,changing a pre fix..or meaning of words objected to..my thoughts...Lutheran's,most aren't getting any younger,but the younger the staff the shorter the rod..God bless,keep you find grace..in our Lord...amen
Nice, an original Henkel! I used to have one as well (first edition, first printing) but gifted it to one of my profs when he took a call to get away from a bad environment (an environment I also left). I'm super blessed to have an original of all the rest, except for a 1st edition of McCain, I'm waiting for a deluxe gilded version to pop up on eBay sometime. I've yet to read them all cover to cover, but that's my goal, along with all the various Catechism editions on the Confessional side, and the Study Bibles (Concordia Bible with Notes KJV and RSV editions, the lightly revised Concordia NIV, the new EHV one, and of course, The Lutheran Study Bible). Definitely keeps my daily Prayer Office/devotional time busy! Thanks for your overview!
Just yesterday I realised that the online version of the "Apology" is strongly abbreviated. The German text is much, much longer. Do all the printed editions (with the exception of the Triglotta?) have the short version?

Is the Vatriata even in existence anymore? I’ve never seen it anywhere

Wow.
