It's a FANTASTIC antique Bible From 1851
bible states on binding that its Polygott...the bind may have been replaced at some time but this is not a polygott bible
The spine and cover are pretty good and strong for a book with 1300 pages & 175 years old. Assume it was recovered, i'm no expert But i'd be proud of this in my collection or on my shelf
Its 6 lbs & approx 10" x 7" x 4"
Some age related issues corners of the covers front and back have been well loved. ONly personalization is on page 2 where it says polyglot in pencil
pics show condition...some pages have old smoke smell cigar maybe... but not as bad as some that i've seen or smelled. some pages in the beginning have foxing...see pics...some look like liquid damage staining....condition of paper is amazing in my opinion for the age...very strong and thick....nothing is missing until very end. book of Revelation last page is the start of chapter 19 and according to the google there was 22 chapters....so not sure how many pages that was...if only missing a couple pages after 175 years i'm impressed...its the oldest bible i've had so far but condition is much better than i normally find.
Make me an offer that's good for both of us and ill ship usually within 24 hours...
A polyglot Bible is an edition of the scriptures that displays the text in several different languages, typically arranged in parallel columns or interlinear formats. Designed primarily for scholars and theologians, these books allow for direct cross-referencing and the comparison of ancient source texts with various translations.
this clearly doesn't have that see pics of inner pages.
