MAKE SURE YOU SCROLL RIGHT TO SEE ALL PICTURES AND INFORMATION.

Just as pictured.

POCKET SIZED
THIS WAS PRINTED PRIOR TO THE CIVIL WAR AND MATCHES WHAT SOMEONE IN THAT PERIOD WOULD HAVE CARRIED.

 

A great miniature for book, Bible, or antique collection.

As pictured, there is a section missing.  It ends at Luke 42saying, ‘If you, even you, had only recognized on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43Indeed, the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up ramparts around you and surround you, and hem you in on every side. 44They will crush you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave within you one stone upon another; because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.’*
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
45 Then he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling things there; 46and he said, ‘It is written,
“My house shall be a house of prayer”;
   but you have made it a den of robbers.’
47 Every day he was teaching in the temple. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people kept looking for a way to kill him; 48but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were spellbound by what they heard.
Luke 20 21 22 23 24 John 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 ` 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Acts 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 ` and picks back up at 15 20 but we should write to them to abstain only from things polluted by idols and from fornication and from whatever has been strangled* and from blood. 21For in every city, for generations past, Moses has had those who proclaim him, for he has been read aloud every sabbath in the synagogues.’
The book ends at Revelation 16 9 they were scorched by the fierce heat, but they cursed the name of God, who had authority over these plagues, and they did not repent and give him glory.
10 The fifth angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness; people gnawed their tongues in agony, 11and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and sores, and they did not repent of their deeds.
12 The sixth angel poured his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up in order to prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13And I saw three foul spirits like frogs coming from the mouth of the dragon, from the mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of the false prophet. 14These are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. 15(‘See, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and is clothed,* not going about naked and exposed to shame.’) 16And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Harmagedon.
17 The seventh angel poured his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, ‘It is done!’ 18And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a violent earthquake, such as had not occurred since people were upon the earth, so violent was that earthquake. 19The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. God remembered great Babylon and gave her the wine-cup of the fury of his wrath. 20And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found; 21and huge hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds,* dropped from heaven on people, until they cursed God for the plague of the hail, so fearful was that plague. Missing are 17 18 19 20 21 22 at the end.

 

This was purchased at an auction with Civil War items. The owner was a collector of historical items and this was said to have been carried by someone from the Shippensburg area that was in the Civil War; however, there isn't a legible name present and no note was found in here to say (W for William?  I had purchased a book that had some letters from some that were in the Civil War; however, I listed and sold that book prior to my coming upon this one or I would have made an attempt to match this with a name).  I was told the stain at the top of the pages was made by a bloody thumb, but it doesn't seem like a blood stain to me, but it does add a little character to this old leather Bible/New Testament.

The pages feel like cloth rather than paper.  Edges are all worn as pictured.  Leather is in like condition with scuffs and bumps etc.  I like the square that has little triangles on the back of the cover.  Really does make one wonder if it did belong to a soldier could he have been sitting out in the woods awaiting battle with his knife cutting pieces of wood out of boredom or perhaps the back cover of this as some mark of his ownership?
