We are presently offering a collection that chronicles Western Civilization as seen through one of its most prominent and carefully preserved objets d’art - the Bible. From Greek manuscripts to Gutenberg, from the Hebrew Torah to the Lunar Bible, its scope is truly extraordinary.
priceless
Our featured collection contains an astonishing number of first editions, important association copies, and unique literary treasures. From Coverdale's first manuscript Psalter in English to the Bay Psalm Book, the collection contains priceless artifacts that are an important part of our world heritage.
Unsurpassed
The unique collection currently offered is distinguished by an overwhelming number of the first folio editions of the Authorized (King James) Version of the Bible, often termed the "Noblest Monument of English Prose." Providing incredible opportunities for new scholarly research, it is the largest such collection in history.
