Book Description

Printed at the Verulam Press, by Nicholas Boden. 1771 Old Testament, 1770 New Testament. Large folio, standing 16 1/4 inches. Binding in contemporary panelled calf with red label. Very good condition though with some internal faults: tears at bottom of first few leaves with some text loss (see photo); tear in bottom corner of last leaf of Apocrypha with a little text loss. Mainly a clean interior with some foxing. Excellent original binding and unusual to find a big binding as old as this in such nice shape. Rare bible. Boden hoped to make his bible competitive with the Bakersville bible but this edition is thought to be the only one produced, though the bible has separately dated title pages.
