Cum privilegio
THIS IS A VERY REMARKABLE BIBLE, ALL THE SCRIPTURE TEXT IS COMPLETE, AND THE TEXT BLOCK IS NEARLY PERFECT, IT IS BOUND IN VERY, VERY OLD REVERSE CALF, THE BOARDS ARE DETATCHED, BUT IT IS SO FINELY WORN, AND HAS SUCH AN ORIGINAL PATINA, HAVE LEFT IN ORIGINAL CONDITION. COULD HAVE REBOUND OR LEAVE IN ORIGINAL CONDITION. BEYOND A VERY OLD STAIN/TIDEMARK THAT VARIES IN SIZE THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE, TO THE UPPER AREA OF THE PAGES THAT IS MORE PRESENT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT THE BIBLE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, AND VERY RARE TO SEE IN THIS STATE WITH SO FEW FLAWS. THE TEXT STARTS WTIH GENESIS 1 AND LACKS ALL PRELIMS, ALTHOUGH THERE IS A VERY INCOMPLETE BCP TO START THTE BIBLE. THE PAGES ALSO HAVE A FINE PATINA, AND ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH NO REPAIRS ONLY EXPECTED LIGHT WEAR AND SOILING AS THE BIBLE IS A REMARKABLE 435 YEARS OLD. YOU WILL RARELY SEE A BIBLE OF THE 16th CENTURY, ESPECIALLY THIS EARLY, IN THIS TYPE OF CONDITION!
BOUND IN THE REAR IS
"THE WHOLE BOOK OF PSALMES"
1574
ENDING IN PSALM 34 BUT WITH THE TITLE
THE FRONT AND REAR BOARDS ARE PULLING A FEW OF THE FRONT AND REAR PAGES LOOSE, BUT SINCE IT IS JUST FROM THE BCP/PSALTER THE BIBLE TEXT HAS BEEN NEARLY PERFECTLY PRESERVED. I CAN RECOMMEND A BINDER IF THE WINNING BIDDER WOULD LIKE TO HAVE REBOUND TO PERIOD STYLE.
A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN A VERY EARLY ENGLISH BIBLE THAT HAS NO LACKING SCRIPTURE TEXT!
THIS IS A QUARTO, MEASURING
8 1/2" TALL
ALSO WILL COME WITH A VERY OLD, AND WORN EARLY LEATHER WRAP, THAT WAS USED TO KEEP THE BIBLE IN SUCH NICE CONDITION...IT IS DATED WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE BIBLE AND SHOWS THAT THIS BIBLE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO BE A HISTORIC TREASURE FOR A LONG TIME! AND IS ALSO A VERY REMARKABLE FEATURE OF THIS BIBLE. VERY RARE PIECE OF HISTORY!
