Añadir al carritoZINMAN, Michael, editor. The American Bible. Original Leaves from Rare and Historic Bibles Printed in the Colonies and the United States During the Seventeenth, Eighteenth, and Nineteenth Centuries. Ardsley, N.Y., 1993. 38 leaves from bibles, matted, arranged in four cloth portfolio boxes, leather labels. Folio. Fine. From an ed…ition limited to 100 sets. This landmark publication presents for the first time the history of the Bible in American through a display of thirty-eight original leaves from the most precious and significant editions of the Scriptures printed in the present geographical area of the United States.

The fourth portfolio contains ten leaves, including one from the first bible in German printed in America, by Christopher Saur(1743), and one from the first bible printed on paper manufactured in America (1763). Also represented here are the first bibles in Hebrew, French, Greek, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and Swedish.

These unique leaves represent a significant aspect of the American heritage: the ro.
