1486 (INCUNABLE HOLY BIBLE IN LATIN) [Johann Pruss: Strassburg] 1486. Colophon of Biblical text at end of "Apocalypssis" (Revelation), reads MCCCCLXXXVI. (1486). Large Folio 13" x 9" x 4 ¼" Inches, Original Blind-stamped calf leather over solid oak wooden boards, 537 leaves, professionally rebacked to match. This Ancient 1486 Incunable Holy Bible Contains the Complete Biblical Text Genesis through Revelation with the Apocrypha! Bible also contains the complete prologues, and a Table? at the rear with tear & loss to the bottom of the last page of the Tables. Double column text, 48 lines, spaces for initials (with guide letters). First leaf of text (Prologues) slightly soiled, Bible is lacking only A1, the Title page.

Leather straps & clasps remains on both boards. BIBLICAL TEXT GENESIS THROUGH REVELATION IS 100% COMPLETE!

***IMPORTANT NOTE: Contemporary manuscript annotations, mostly in Middle English, thus a bit hard to read but providing a great provenance as a definitive example of a printed Bible owned in England prior to 1500 (very rare to find!). Apparently the edition itself is quite rare: A small auction description pasted on inside front cover reads: "EXCESSIVELY RARE!…so rare indeed that there is no copy in the British Museum!"
