A
beautifully illustrated and very complete Antique Family Bible in a
VERY GOOD (professionally restored) condition. The leather covers are embossed in gold
and
the paper is gold gilted. This Bible has hundreds of illustrations of which many full page
(by Gustave Doré). The text is the Authorized Version
or King James Version. This massive Bible
contains the complete text of the Old Testament Apocrypha and (text from the title page): "Apocrypha,
Psalms in Metre, and Marginal References and Readings, and Brown's
complete Concordance to the Holy Scriptures: to which are added a
Pictorial History of the Books of the Bible... the improved Pictorial
Dictionary of the Bible.... and the illustrated Christian
Denominations of the world, their doctrines, government and history...
together with Blackwood's concise treatise on the genuineness,
authenticity, inspiration, preservation and value of the Word of God;
a History of the Translations into English, Tables of the Parables,
Miracles and Discourses of Jesus Christ, and a Variety of Useful and
Valuable Tabular and other Historical and Explanatory Matter... with
several hundred engravings, maps and plans, on wood and steel". There is also
(partly filled out) section for recording the personal family
events.
 
This
Bible is in a overall VERY GOOD condition. It
can also be used and opened fairly easily as its bindings and the
spine have been
professionally restored. There is NO writing on any of the
pages (except family register). There are NO ripped or missing
pages not any staining, just a slight occasional 'aging' of the paper. There is
some wear to the edges of the covers and areas on the leather. A
beautiful antique Bible.
