This listing is for a vintage 1st Edition (1962) hardback copy of the Oxford Bible Atlas, edited by the renowned biblical scholar Herbert G. May, with assistance from R.W. Hamilton and G.N.S. Hunt. Published by the prestigious Oxford University Press (London), this scholarly reference book is highly sought after by collectors of vintage theology, biblical historians, and cartography enthusiasts.
The volume features incredibly detailed, full-colour historical maps, geographical data of Palestine and the ancient Near East, and archaeological site overviews. It acts as an invaluable companion text for academic study or historical research.
Dust Jacket: Includes the original green and tan paper dust jacket. It shows typical vintage shelf wear, with some creasing, minor scuffing, and tiny nicks/tears along the edges and spine ends (common for a paper jacket of this age).
Binding & Spine: The spine is structurally sound, straight, and intact. The green cloth boards underneath show minor corner bumps.
Internal Pages: Excellent clean condition. The full-colour maps remain bright, crisp, and vivid. No highlighting, underlining, or heavy foxing observed.
Provenance/Markings: Features a neat, charming vintage gift inscription or owner’s signature on the front endpaper reading "F Greenwood, May 1964" written in ink, adding a nice bit of personal history to the piece.
