The Holy Bible Containing the Old Testament and The New: Newly Translated out of the Original Tongues, with the former Translations diligently compared and revised.
Print Date:
1678
General Description:
This is a King James Version of the Bible including the Old Testament, New Testament and the Apocrypha.
Printing Information:
London: John Bill, Chr Barker, Tho. Newcomb and Hen. Hills, his Majesties Printers.
Size:
7" (175mm) x 9.5" (240mm) x 3" (75mm)
Condition:
The binding of this Bible shows the general craftsmanship of a fine skilled and devoted technician to protect this ancient fragile museum-like manuscript. The binding is strong and the leather is supple. As a result, there is no cracking or tearing at the hinges. This is desirable to the archives of world-famous curators serving museums that are guardians of our Biblical heritage.
This Bible was flown by jet from the heart of Israel not far from where the Dead Sea scrolls, and where our pastor personally toured and visited the museum of ancient manuscripts.
One of the nice things about this Bible is that there are three title pages present: Two general title pages to the Bible and one for the New Testament. It is rare to find these Bibles with their title pages. Having said that, there is no title page for the Old Testament itself. The initial decorative title page has been remounted some time in the past. The second title page is missing a small corner toward the lower-right at the bottom. The first two pages (the portion dedicated to King James and the first page of Genesis) are a bit rough and both have portions missing toward the lower-right, both affecting the text in that area. Once past these initial pages (the first page of Genesis) the pages are very sound and clean without tears. This quality lasts throughout the entire Bible until the last two pages of Revelation. The last two pages are very wrinkled and torn horizontally in the middle all the way across the pages. There is no loss of text, though, and these pages could be repaired. The very last page of Revelation is missing, otherwise this is a very complete book despite its being 329 years old.
Due to system limitations a maximum of only 8 photos are possible in this listing, however additional photos are available upon request.
Every effort will be made to insure this item is securely packaged and shipped in a timely manner, with tracking information and insurance coverage provided.
